Starbucks Around the World: Lexington, KY

As I entered the door of this Lexington, KY Starbucks, I glanced at a decorative film on the door reading “Rediscover why we’re best friends.”  I rediscovered this a few hours earlier….. after picking up coffee on our way out of Louisville from *another coffee shop*.  We’re best friends because you, Starbucks, make good coffee.  I could have used a little TP in the restroom to top off my experience at this makeshift roadside rest on the way to Smoky Mountain National Park for an excellent Thanksgiving getaway, but overall my Cher hair and I give Lexington a big thumb’s up.

After an amazing (still-to-be-uploaded-to-Wordpress) adventure in the Smoky’s, nothing brings you back to “civilization” like a roadside rest and a strong drip coffee.  Having little hope for a Starbucks store between the park and Louisville (a 6+ hour drive), we had stopped off in Jalisco, TN for a canned double shot at a gas station before finding this beauty in London, KY.  Bam.  One-stop shopping with a clean place to pee, a drip coffee, and a Steak N Shake next door.

Having to stave off international touring for awhile to finish out Grad school, here begins a stint of Starbucks’ American style… primarily located adjacent to major highways and serving as a place for a quality cup and a clean place to pee.  Sheboygan, Wisconsin did not disappoint on both accounts when we visited this store on our way to Door County, WI for an off-season winter getaway.  I think it was a plain coffee and a bag of trail mix, and the service was fantastic.
