TheGeneral Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Nothing. You're paying for the venue, not the product. <_< Quote Link to comment
_Pabling Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Nothing, you're not even paying for the coffee but for the place. Tsk tsk tsk Quote Link to comment
YoMikee Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 now that there's so many coffee places like figaro, seattle's best... starbucks has become less special Quote Link to comment
bachr32 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 oo mas masarap pa variations nila sa ibang coffee shops. Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 What's so special about Starbucks? Special ang feeling na nararamdaman ko dun. In fact, dun ko lang naramdaman yung special na feeling na yun. I feel stupid drinking P80.00 and above coffee when I can buy a whole pack of coffee, cream, flavoring, and sugar for the same price.

Guest globetrotter Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 what so special about starbucks? for me, nothing.starbucks is just a product of media hype or corporate branding.it is perceived that if you're having coffeee at starbucks, you're part of the IN crowd and most people want to be identified in that group.starbucks products can be found on other coffeeshops too so there is no edge here. service? place?i dont think so.

Why would anyone spend PHP80.00 to PHP170.00 for a cup of coffee when an ordinary worker earns only PHP250.00 to PHP350.00 / day Quote Link to comment

luol_deng Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Theres nothing special about Starbucks in Australia, its more like cheap coffee here or a fast food joint only for coffee, the cafe joints are more special though i dunno why its considered a big thing in Phils but reading from the above i can see why the prices are steep.

Oculist Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Nothing really, its just that they're practically everywhere and one's just around if you need a quick fix. Quote Link to comment
sexgod69 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Nothing at all! Starbucks is just a place you want to see people or be seen.... Other than the frapuccino and hot white mocha, everything else sucks Quote Link to comment
MrSouth Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 sabi nila cool ka pag nakita kang nakatambay sa labas ng starbucks at angkakape... kahit na alam mong mas masarap tumambay sa loob kasi aircon... d ka kasi makikita dun... sheesh... though i know hindi naman lahat yun ang pinunta dun... pero aminin natin... may ibang tao na ganun... hayaan na lang natin sila sa trip nila at mag trip din tayo...

ink Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 funny but i keep coming back to starbucks because of their oatmeal cookie and chocolate dome cake... if there's anything that i like in the "drinks" selection, it's the green tea frap and hot peppermint mocha. Quote Link to comment

Podweed Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I like the Starbucks stored-value card. It's to be treated like cash with an initial and minimum value of $5. You can reload it up to $500. Yes, some people do put in the maximum. Not me, no way. Sheesh. Just for coffee?? The card's nice though. Clear-plastic with a red magnetic strip. Quote Link to comment
elbaron1914 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 the mocha frap! my fave! Quote Link to comment
