What It's Like To Go To Starbucks In Russia

One of the most hospitable experiences I've ever had took place in a Moscow Starbucks.

It was a hot, humid day in July, and cold caffeinated beverages were calling my name. I copped out on having a uniquely Russian experience in a small family-owned coffee shop and fell into a Starbucks instead.

I ended up having a uniquely Russian experience anyway, drinking and socializing with the employees!
