Neither. Place is packed both places.
This is why I make coffee at home.
Of all the responses, this is my favorite!
The top one. I’m tired and I’d rather rest on my car seat in the warm interior than on one of those wooden chairs. I ride bikes a lot, 5000 km per year and I advocate for walk ability but nothing beats a coffee in my warm car on a 6am commute where it’s 6°c outside
Why yes I would rather sit in my comfy padded chair in the AC where I can listen to my own music and charge my cell phone rather than sitting on a metal chair listening to 20 other people's conversations in 100 degree weather.
There are many arguments against drive-thru restaurants. This is a stupid ass one.

I'd much rather make my own coffee at home. It's pennies on the dollar compared to this shit, and I'm not spending an extra half hour or more out of my day for something I'll consume in minutes once it reaches optimal drinking temperature.
I use an aeropress, which allows me to make concentrated coffee that I can store in the fridge. I pour a little into an insulated travel cup and just add hot water when I want to drink it - either just before going on a drive, or after I get to work. I take a proper mug with me to work along with it and pour into it out of the travel cup. It's one of the highlights of my day.
I hate drive-through culture and am glad to not have anything to do with it, but I'm also not a big fan of sitting in public spaces amongst a bunch of strangers who actually like slurping down sugary caffeine drinks out of paper cups.
This post backfired spectacularly on OP, didn't it?
Actually, no, it didn't. Unlike many children of the internet, I can learn and expand my horizons with new vantages. Many people take coffee in a variety of ways, as it appears. By illustrating this dichotomy, in the end, I could better unravel the tapestry that is coffee drinking, thereby enriching my life. Sorry if this disappoints, but as Monty Python said, "Always look on the bright side of life."
