Starbucks

As any caffeine-addicted parent knows, there are few options for kids at a coffee shop. Starbucks is no exception. Whether due to an excess of sugar or a surge of caffeine (or both), nearly every drink here will have your kid treating your furniture like a trampoline. The food isn’t any better; most snacks here are based on refined flour and sugar.

SURVIVAL STRATEGY

Get your kid hooked on lightly sweetened Tazo tea and you’re golden. If not, skim milk with a shot of chocolate sauce is as safe as it gets.
