I'm all for "Starbucks" in the same vein that we tag "Chipotle" not "Chipotle Mexican Grill".
+1 No need for redundant information. "Chipotle" does the job as does "Starbucks", however the Wiki says to use "Starbucks Coffee". I have never used that longer name to refer to Starbucks nor have I heard anyone else using it but YMMV. Evenif a consensus can be reached to settle on one or the other the Wiki will need to be updated.
