Starbucks coffee sucks so your not missing anything.

Last time I had a meeting at Starbucks I ordered a medium cream only, I don't play with their silly names, and it was like $3+ and tasted burnt. Oh and they don't add cream you have to do that yourself.

Only other place I have to add my own cream is at a truck stop, but the coffee is better and costs $1.

Mostly they are just full of hipsters freeloading off their wifi.

Pull a fifth of blackberry brandy in a paper bag out of your waistband. It's always worked for me.

Yeppers -- their nickname is "Charbucks."

I'd order something I like just to have something to pull on when thinking over an answer.

I'm pretty sure that's frowned upon during the interview process...

Budda bing!

To the OP: if you've never tried it, have a double Americano but not during the interview unless you want to seem, uh, unusually energetic and probably very talkative. This is 2 shots of expresso and steamed water. Dilute as you wish. Due to the steamed water this is often very hot at first and much more mild flavor than coffee but it gives great coffee rush.

Chamomile is an excellent tea. Very light, with no caffeine. Their particular chamomile is very good.. I am kind of a snob of those things

Otherwise cappuccino is pretty good.

Good luck and stop overthinking it! Interviewer probably won't care one way or the other. I'd get a decaf, but only not to stay awake the rest of the night.

We-ell, the interview got called off for now because we are getting hit by a snowstorm and he has moved less than two miles per hour trying to get out of Boston. I'm split because driving in the snow would have been less-than-safe but I've also really wanted to do it and never gotten a chance...!

"T" makes a good point. I can see the benefit of having something to sip to stall surreptitiously .

What's a "college interview," and why wouldn't it be conducted at a college?

BTW, when you "stall," there's no "surreptitiously" to it....per the interviewer's POV. Why would you need to do that anyway?

College interview -- the college wants an alumni to size you up as a person to help them in the admissions decision. Since alumni and applicants live all over the place, it often doesn't make sense for both of them to travel to the college -- for example, in this case, I would drive right past the town he lives in on my way to Cambridge and we'd both still have another 30 minutes to go...

Replace "surreptitiously" with "graciously", then. Good point . Why would I need to stall? Sometimes my mind totally blanks out for a moment and then I have to recover it.

Looking aside, he surreptitiously sipped his Chai latte. Trying to focus on the interviewer's probing question, he couldn't put away the niggling problem of his beverage choice.
"What if he thinks I'm some kind of pansy for ordering chai? Oh shlt I knew I should have gotten a Venti Americano, black as coal and hot as the devil. He's going to smell the sugar and spice in this fairy drink and KNOW I'm not a good fit, What was I thinking??"
