👍👍 I live near Seattle so we are used to Starbucks. I ordered the caramel Frappuccino and it is 100% better than what I get at Starbucks. Amazing and the people working today were so nice. I'll definitely be back during my vacation. I'm definitely not going to want another Frappuccino from Starbucks.

😠 This place is SO OVERPRICED. $27 for a mug? Should be $6. $10 for a miniature figurine smaller than my pinky?? Who the hell thinks that is okay? It costs 26$ to get a set of six unglazed plates online. This store charges you $40 per plate!!! Don't go here. You would save money by just doing it on yo...
