"A few people would have a clean conscience if they egged Starbucks--I'm actually one of them," he said, adding that any organized vandalism would have to be "unannounced."
But Tania Godbout, a manager at Carberry's Bakery and Coffeehouse in Central Square, said she had "no problem with the Starbucks."
"This is America, people can set up a business wherever they want," she said.
Other residents said they liked the new kid on the block.
"I like the atmosphere," said Ann Urich, a Cambridge resident who stopped by during the holiday party on Saturday morning for a cup of coffee.
She said she planned to return to the coffeeshop in the future, and criticized the tactics of the Local Flavour League.
"I certainly don't think it's good pusiness to protest like the way they're doing," she said, adding that the tactics of the League were "poor for the other coffee shops" in Central Square.
The new Starbucks will offer 30 blends of coffee throughout the year, Miller said, with 15 to 20 beans available on a certain day.
The most popular coffees at this time of year are the regular "House" blend of Central American beans, and the seasonal "Christmas" blend, Miller said.
It will be open on weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m
