The Golden Arches do well with their coffee kiosks..... their brew is passable, at best, and the pastries are horrid.

As to Starbucks, I dont think its an issue of local places vs. Starbucks... some local chains like Cafe Martinez can be quite good, but the best local cafes are the non chain places that you have to find by experimenting and doing a lot of trial and error.
