wolfy Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Its not that special ... just easy to have around when you need coffee and can't get a better cup anywhere else. Quote Link to comment
tidyaxx Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 espesyal ang presyo para sa di naman espesyal na lasa ng kape! Quote Link to comment
mariejoy Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 starbucks-one of the best in town. it's a huge success here in the phils coz of the coffee itself, the yummy pastries, cozy ambience, and friendly staff. Quote Link to comment
missmanners Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 only because there's one in every corner. starbucks has made getting my caffeine fix so convenient. and there's something charming about its predictability. how my favorite beverage is always exactly as i like it. excellent.

macx98 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 whats so special about starbucks? the brand name... filipinos like to attach brand names to the most common everyday items like kodak for photo films, coke for sode beverages and colgate for toothpaste. Quote Link to comment
goddessofperpetualdeliciousness Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) Top 3 Starbucks for me:1. Starbucks GB1 Paseo de Roxas2. Starbucks standard chartered ayala ave3. Starbucks Sotto-Herrera If it's hot mocha frap. I miss toffeenut though. Hazelnut has an after taste I don't like.Passion Hot Tea on a lazy Sunday evening watching cars go by. It's the ambiance. Relaxing, the noise of the people around you,wala lang talaga... :hypocritesmiley: Edited August 15, 2006 by goddessofperpetualdeliciousness Quote Link to comment

juan_diego Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 What many of us should understand is that restaurants, bars and cafe's offer more than what is on their menus. They offer experience. And the kind of experience a person gets from any establishment depends on the kind of person you are. Personally, I like Starbucks because whenever I'm inside the said coffe shop, I feel secured. It seems chaos do not exist in Starbucks. In Starbucks, I feel relaxed. Starbucks is more than the coffee it serves. Quote Link to comment
mrbbwolf Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ah-ah! Ano baga masarap sa i-starbucks na iyan. Ala kape laman eh. Masarap pa rin ang kapeng barako na sinaing. Ala eh! Bibili ka baga ng asukal na imported na P100 por kilo. Ala di ba ga pam patamis laang yun asukal central de san pedro o asukal de starbucks. Ganayn din ang kape! Nadagdagan laang ng mainit na gatas ay espresso na, binate laang ang gatas at nilagay sa ibabaw frapuccino na. Mag kaano kaya ma bibili ang ating kapeng barako pag dagdagan natin ng gatas kalabaw o di kaya gatas kambing?? Quote Link to comment

Figaro has started a Philippine revolution in Philippine coffee and they are making waves ... Starbuck's started from where Figaro is but they have the funds of the NYSE to feed their expansion.
