Probably Top Pot or Cafe Ladro, not that I get to either that often.  I also like the Zeitgeist underneath the Elliott Bay Book Co.

At Zeitgeist I like the drip, at Top Pot I like the drip and their lattes, at Ladro I like the straight espressos.  Top Pot wins for best pastries, but they have Top Pot donuts at Elliot Bay Book Co. too.

I like the green tea lattes at Starbucks, but some places don't do them nearly as well as others.

That sounds good. I haven't tried a green tea one before, but next time I'm at Starbucks I will give it a taste!

I go to a local chain that's near my Uni. I usually get a Mexican Latte and if I'm feeling saucy, I'll get an Iced Java.

Edit:

They have Green Tea Lattes at Starbucks? Whoa, if I would have known that, I'd probably go there more often.

I'm addicted to the bucks crappy coffee. I'm so glad i dont have one up the street like everyone else seems to. I've considered freaking fronting the cotsts of putting one near my house. Yes i'm that addicted.

Actually, I don't see green tea lattes on their online menu.  Maybe it's regional crap.

Only halfway decent pic I could find:



Iced lattes blow, though, imo.

Iced Javas actually has a lot of caffeine in it though. Makes it worth it if you need the kick.

I feel like every time I have it though, I take one step closer to Type 2 Diabetes.  :-\

Their teas are good. But I really don't go to Starbucks anymore.

I'm a tea whore, and this place called the Naked Lounge serves "Bowl of Soul" which is awesome, a mix of teas, nutmeg and some cream.  I am not sure whats all in it, but its damned good.

At starbucks, I like the black tea lemonade unsweetened. Sometimes I get the chai latte, but Starbucks' chai isn't all that good.  I love chai though.

Have you ever had Chinese Chrysanthemum tea?  That's good stuff.  There's also another tea - not sure what it's called.  My friend's parents went to China and brought back tons of teas.  There was one they let me try that was amazing.  You drink the tea in a very small quantity -  you only take a sip then drink some water.  When you first take the initial sip of tea, it just tastes like ordinary tea.  But after you drink some cold water there is a very aromatic sweet flavor left in your mouth.   :heart
