More than just flavored syrups

Just last year Café Louis "upgraded" their coffee house from Seattle's Best to Starbucks. As a daily coffee drinker, I was stoked to see this. Unfortunately time has proved that really nothing has changed. Let us face it, just buying Starbucks brand ground beans does not count as "Starbucks." To add to the disappointment, they seem to mess up brewing this blend. I make better "Starbucks" in my own room with my Italian Starbucks blend.
If they are going to charge Starbucks prices for a mocha, it better not be regular coffee with chocolate syrup. Café Louis should upgrade their product to legit Starbucks status or cut the price. It is just not fair.
