However, last time I was in the UK people didn't seem to be using any of the terms any more. They just said they were going to Starbucks
- Which one? ... the one on this side of the street or that side?

I was in the airport in Atlanta back in Nov. I could actually see two Starbucks from the spot where I was standing.

That's most likely called a 'diner' in AE.
