Not in Seattle. And the local chains sure as hell aren't any less costly. I can't speak for the fancier drinks, but as far as regular old drip coffee goes, I've yet to find anything that surpasses Starbucks. Especially that made-over "Roy Street" branch.

And I have a hard time finding some difference in atmosphere between these and the local stores that I could give two shits about.
