for many here, starbucks is a dessert bar. they drop 5 bucks easy on each cup order but it looks like a vertical banana split. its happy food. like so much here an attempt to get away from mean streets which i think are very hard on women and kids.
thank you starbucks.

I love the Americana. Especially iced in the summer.
for hot coffee in the winter, i usually save a few bucks and just get coffee, whatever Bold they brewed for the day.

and for the person who said they go to caribou for decaf espresso [americana] you can get that at Starbucks too ... i get them, as i can't have caffeine after 3pm or I'm up all night... but funny thing... i never get a caffeine buzz from their coffees.

I was bummed when they got rid of the Breakfast sandwiches ... they were great. Their dessert bars are awesome, though some are a tad too sweet. I do enjoy a scone a few times per year too.

So many say that about their coffee tasting burnt. I have never noticed it tasting burnt. Something wrong with me?

I like their mochas, because they're very "chocolatey." Most other places don't sweeten them enough to my taste. I like my coffee regular for the most part, but if it's going to have chocolate in it, then I want A LOT of chocolate.

I used to like this place, but the pretentiousness has just gotten a bit old.

Starbucks is a bit strong for me, but my husband loves it -- the dark, rich roast that could almost stand on its own, without a cup. So, I go with him, and I get one of those frozen coffees, which is a lot like an icee? I love those.


Did you Guys know you can get Starbucks' Breakfast Blend at SAM's? It's great in the morning. Comes in (3) one-pound packages for about $18.
I'll stick with Dunkin' Donuts brand, which is a lot less and WAY better.

Oh My God. I actually don't understand the categories supplied. It's like latin, but I did latin at school so I understand more of it.

Can anyone translate for me??
