Little Interesting Tidbits

There are some small differences in the major chain coffee companies that you may want to note while selecting the shop thats right for you:

1. At Seattle's Best, the sizes are simply small, medium, and large. Makes it easy for those of you who are nervous about the fancy lingo.

2. As I mentioned before, Tully's has free internet at all of their locations. Starbucks and Seattle's Best do not.

3. Tully's requires all of their employees to wear name tags. A nice touch for personalizing your coffee shop visit.

4. Starbucks has Tazo Tea, Tully's carries Republic of Tea.

5. An interesting fact not many people know: Tully's iced drink sizes are actually 16oz (tall), 20 oz (grande), and 24oz(veinte). This allows room for ice, so you aren't getting only half the amount of beverage you paid for.

6. Starbucks almost always has two roasts of coffee brewing (one lighter, one darker), Tully's typically has only one.

7. Tully's offers a line of milk shakes, made with real soft-serve ice cream
