Trend Watching: is Starbucks falling out of favor

Witness this Twitter post from John Gruber... it seems to echo a sentiment I've been hearing from various corners..
As an enjoyer of Starbucks-- I probably stop by there twice a week, at most-- and not someone who claims to be some kind of coffee afficianado-- but I know some who would make that claim for themselves... and they must think this is heresy. I'm not with them.

Starbucks is, for me, a good, if expensive, alternative to the pretty crappy office coffee that's brewed here at work.

Frankly, I'm hoping Dunkin' Donuts puts a location back in downtown...
