Only a cynic would claim that Starbucks exemplifies un-American values. But frothing up frappuccinos for the French? Mais oui, mon ami, one can now savor a bit of Seattle at four Starbucks stores in the heart of Paris.
Immensely popular, especially with foreign students, the French Starbucks cafés thrive despite a ban on smoking ...
But turnabout's fair play. Coming to Seattle shortly: an outpost of the Così chain, which grew out of a charming, hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop in Paris where you could get a sort of do-it-yourself pannini while listening to opera music. It's going in at the 3rd & Pine Bon Marché--not to be confused with the original Bon Marché in Paris. Seattle's Bon, sadly, will shortly be known as Mousy Macy's.
