This is 4 blocks from me. I went to check it out but there was a line of around 150 people out the door and I bailed since I wasn't willing to invest the 90 minutes in line.

There are already Yelp reviews: http://www.yelp.com/biz/dumb-starbucks-los-angeles

I used to do my laundry at that laundromat. All those people should walk up the street to Yuca's instead.

Do they have free coffee at Yuca's?

The coffee is only free if your time is worth nothing. Anyone waiting in line is doing so for social reasons.

Yes. Waiting in line is part of the experience. It's not something I would do, but I'm not arrogant enough to look down at those who are doing it.

Christ. Are people in LA that coffee-starved?
