If you’re running out the door in the morning in North America without having your morning coffee, there’s no need to worry; Starbucks is there. 

With more than 16,000 international locations, including over 11,000 U.S. cafés, it seems Starbucks is, well, everywhere. You can find Starbucks coffee shops on street corners, in shopping malls, in grocery stores, in movie theaters and even right across the street from another Starbucks on the same intersection. Of the many comedians who have joked about the coffee chain, some have quipped that you can find a Starbucks inside a Starbucks. 

Price $1.00
