Do French people like Starbucks?

Actually we don't like it very well. Starbucks doesn't make a lot of money in France, because we like our "cafÃ©" place.
We're drinking especially espresso, like italians or spanish people, and we stay like one or two hours with only one drink sometimes, and a lot of french people do the same thing in Starbucks and keep the sit all the afternoon... Also we don't buy drink to take away as british or americans do.
For me, the biggest problem (I'm student so I ain't no money) is the price. The drinks in Starbucks are f****** expensive!!!

Not like Americans. They call American Coffee "watered down coffee". They get the really thing in coffee shops. My family in Switzerland came here in the US and hated Starbucks.

There really seem to be starbucks everywhere you'd expect them in the US: on busy streets, across from Metros, in the malls... I think the only difference is that Americans who are in France feel dirty going in to them because they left america to have delicious French and European coffee, and having coffee by the Mochagiant from back home makes us feel like we might as well have ripped up the train ticket and just stayed home watching Paris je t'aime.

I don't.
It doesn't look like real coffee, which for us is only expresso. They aren't many Starbucks in Paris, and they are fairly recent, so they are packed. But I would be surprised to have them spread to every corner like in the US. Also we have coffee in normal cups, not plastic or carton. It smells better that way. We don't take-away our coffee.

We also make our own coffee at work. There are more and more expresso machines that people share, it's better than the instantanÃ© from machines.

It's becoming more popular and well-known. It's kind of a status symbol as well. For example, my French friends coming to the US this summer can't wait to go to Starbucks because "C'est trop cool!"
Young people that have gone like to casually brag about it.

Now that doesn't exactly mean they like it......

There are lots of Starbucks locations in Paris, and they have always been crowded when I have been there. As to whether or not the people in the crowd were actually French, I don't know.

What I do know is that my French friend loves Peppermint Mochas from there! LOL
