Yup, I've been meaning to get one for a while for the tram ride into work (even though we have decent coffee there, the trams will be getting cold again soon!

I am in Toronto and the coffee tastes good, possible because other coffee outlets have worse coffee.

i know toronto doesnt have a decent basketball team but you're also not telling me the coffee is crapola as well?

If in Toronto go for Tim Horton's outlets: cheaper and really tasty.

I bet it's a joke. I don't think that there will be a Starbucks there.

I've heard rumors that Krakow has their first Starbucks open in the Wawel Castle

As much as I love Starbucks, an end needs to be put into this corporate poison. Since when is some cheap outlet for making probably .000001% of Starbucks' annual profits worth more than one of the most significant places in medieval history? Capitalism and globalization are becoming poisons.

if there's hot dog stands and burger vans outside the entrance of auschwitz then why not a starbucks outside wawel.

don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Starbucks is opening up right in the rynek in Wroclaw, saw the sign up yesterday. this will be the 2nd Starbucks in Wroclaw. I actually stopped in the first Starbucks at Pasaz Grunwaldzki at around 1:30 p.m. a few weeks ago, it was absolutely packed with college students.

Students and bank employees. It does well pretty much all the time. Selling cups of coffee for the price of a meal :)

Merged:

Has the Lady with Ermine painting been moved permanently to Wawel castle now ?

Used to be at Czartoryski Palace and was a great venue for it. Not sure if it's been moved permanently.

According to the note in this link, it is temporarily being kept at Wawel due to the renovation of the Czartoryski Museum.
