So is Vienna. I don't remember seeing any Starbucks last time I was in Paris.

Haven't been, but word is none of the 'unique/canuck' pastries are available. Just lame 'fresh' flash-frozen donuts. FWIW, these are all Reise restaurant places, a completely disgusting operation that operates KFC/PizzaHut/TacoBell/DD/TGIF franchises, often under one roof!

No butter tarts, no raisin-studded Dutchies, no 'dipped & filled Canadian maple varieties of pastry(?), no walnut crunch doughnuts...

For the life of me, I cannot understand people's obsession with Tim Horton's. I see lineups a mile long in drive-thrus at some places - WTF!? On the campus where I work, there is decent brewed coffee in the cafeteria (some organic fair-trade stuff...) yet students (and staff) will wait in a line that snakes for 1/2 mile for Tim Horton's.

The coffee sucks. I hate that they want to mix your milk and sugar for you. Never the right amount; I can make my own thx! And how the fuck do people hold the scalding hot cup when they don't have cup holder thingies like at SBUX and they refuse to give you an extra cup. I'll take SBUX over TH any day.
