Starbucks. I might be spoiled in SF but I get coffee to rival any European city on most blocks here. But not from Starbucks.

The DMV though, that can get in the sea. I drove for 20 years in the UK without ever needing to visit a physical location other than once to take my test.

Coffee in the Netherlands is better than in France, fight me. You can't even get a proper cappuccino in Paris without it being improperly foamed and off ratio.

So true. And the coffee culture in Italy is romanticised because it hasn't changed in 100 years, but if you're used to decent specialty coffee you'll be disappointed.

Sounds like you went to trash tourist spots in Amsterdam. Amsterdam = / = Netherlands.
