I went into the Pike Place Market location and there was no menu visible (the screen was down). When they told me the drink was $9 I said, “keep it.” (nicely). I asked them why there was no menu visible and the barista said, “tell me about it…”. She told me to just take it, so I did.
Tell me: how do they get people to pay nearly $10 for a coffee? I get a lot of coffee drinks, and have been all over the world, and I can confidently say this was the most expensive cappuccino I’ve ever ordered, bar none. No other places in Seattle, even in the touristy areas, costs anywhere near that much, let alone NYC, London, and LA.
Weird!
And I’m even more glad I didn’t support them now that I’ve learned about their cultish connection with Mars Hill Church! https://www.thestranger.com/food-and-drink/2014/09/03/20489081/storyville-coffees-connection-to-mars-hill-is-now-a-direct-one
