Yup, Starbucks is about to open it's first "cafe" in Poland...
“'Poland, as well as the rest of Central and Eastern Europe, represents significant growth areas for Starbucks,' said Buck Hendrix, president of Starbucks Europe, Middle East and Africa, in a statement."
That's fine and all, but Mr. Buck Henxrix declined to explain how he's mangaged to con the world into buying such awful coffee.

Considering the fact that Nowy Swiat in Warsaw is already dominated by chains such as Coffee Heaven, Costa Coffee, iCoffee, W Biegu, Starbucks is a latecomer in the race. From my coffeedrinking friends I'm told that the coffee served by the other chains is pretty terrible as well. My take: at least we'll have a coffee shop that serves chai, of the Indian/American variety.
Hey Hey Hey, now, why the picking on Starbucks? I've actually heard it's quite popular with Lithuanians...
Hmm, it seems that Nowy Swiat lacks a good chaykhana? What a market! Switch to tea comrades!
Yeah in Budapest, for example, we have a number of Starbucks ripoffs, sometimes under suspiciously similar names or logos, and they're worse than Starbucks itself is. So it's not exactly some kind of culturally imperialist threat ... hell, I'd gladly see the current California Coffee Company branches replaced by Starbucks.
