While Latzanakis' Dunkin' Donuts has been in the same location for 13 years, just a few years ago a new player entered the Harvard Square coffee scene.

Three years ago, Starbucks Coffee opened a store in the Garage; soon after, it opened a second location on Church Street.

Starbucks stores are held to uniform pricing, so customers won't find the same discrepancy in the cost of a cup of coffee here that they could at Dunkin' Donuts.

They will, however, find at each Starbucks a different environment and a different set of coffee drinkers.

Students studying for exams often hole up at JFK Street, while Church Street tends to attract more teaching fellows.
