There's Something For Everyone In Eindhoven

There are no Starbucks retail stores anywhere in Holland, but there are plenty of "coffee shops."

You won't get a tall, half-shot, non-fat, decaf, extra-hot, foamy latte at this coffee shop, 'The Grasshopper," located to the west of Eindhoven's centre, but the 'atmosphere' is such that you probably won't mind, or at any rate, won't remember that you wanted coffee of any multi-syllabic variety anyway! And you certainly won't be able to order it coherently.
