What's So Special About Starbucks?

The coffee is nothing special. Just as the guy (I think it was Pauly) said on "The Sopranos", LOL: These motherf'ers are stealing our culture!

 

Buckstars ain't nothing but slick marketing and a gimmick. Italians have been making coffee like they serve for ages. It's just expresso beans (for the most part) mixed with foamed milk, chocolate syrup, caramel, etc.

 

Personally I don't see why/how it's so popular in Phils, it's dayang expensive. Even in Japan it's a running joke about the price, about $4 for the largest (used to be called grande but now they call it something else, I forgot :rolleyes: ) size. When I am in Manila though, it is nice to stop and have an iced latte since it's easy to get a bit hot after a few minutes of walking, LOL, and get to view some eye candy at Greenbelt or some other such place.

 

That's the only reason I'd stop there, it's not the coffee. Personally I prefer Segafredo over Bucks which you have at Greenbelt 3 but haven't seen many in Phils...
