slappbeat Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Actually i don't get it. Honestly, the coffee bean and tea leaf tastes better. Figaro's beverages taste better. Even Seattle's best's offerings taste better at times. Why starbucks? Quote Link to comment
sistah Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 starbucks is available at every corner. there's one near my office (walking distance). i personally prefer coffee bean but since starbucks is the one there, okay din. i love their desserts. and the caramel affogatto (my all time fave!)

jlx Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 im not a coffee addict but i absolutely love their christmas drink peppermint frappe. its my absolute favorite. i also love green tea frappe. now, what i love above those is the pastries starbucks in cebu have. i love their cheesecake (one of the best if not the best i've tasted), their chocolate is also really really good. just the thought of the pastries is making me want to go there later Quote Link to comment

kenshin11 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 If you are after exotic expensive coffee like blue mountain, UCC has it. Quote Link to comment
dsycthe Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 i agree that it is the ambience... having that personal space in a public place is what they offer... the coffee only goes second to this i think... Quote Link to comment
DELISYUS Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 i seem to have unwittingly spent thousands on their choco chip ekek this month... yikes... Quote Link to comment
^Tim^ Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 special? it's not really the brand per se... just happened that... on mah part, those branches were the places where most (if not all) of my best coffee dates the past few years were held... though some were also in CBTL, Figaro, Gloria Jeans... heck, even in Kopiroti is good to chat wit a nice lady :cool: Quote Link to comment
sexy_baby^chawee Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 hhmmmm....when you say starbucks..coffee quality!! Quote Link to comment
Zarbor Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 To be honest, Starbucks has a tendency to over roast its beans.... it's just that us Pinoys are so colonial minded .... any place that serves DANESI or Lavazza coffee beans is way better, way cheaper too... Quote Link to comment
_Honey_ Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 i prefer iced mocha blend of CBTL pa rin but since I have to cross the other side of the road pa for that, I settle for Starbucks na lang since we have one in the building. hmm.. Caramel Macchiatto. Wala na ata kasi ung toffee nut nila. Quote Link to comment
DMC Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 special about starbucks? hmmm.. the ambiance. the crowd. the overpriced coffee(u aint gonna see me use my 150.00 for coffee. id rather eat!!) bad thing is.. pipol feel that their "sosy" whenever they stay there..its just coffee.

DeV@nte Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Starbucks is mainstream, overpriced & people only go there because they want to be seen. Whoopty-F*cking-Doo!! Frankly I hate their over enthusiastic staff. I'm grumpy, I need coffee real quick. Quote Link to comment
angel_by_day Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 i am a starbucks kid...but i don't see anything special with the new dulce de leche frap....parang same lang as the caramel frap. Quote Link to comment
angel_dust Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 it's not really the coffee,,, kasi nga sometimes they are inconsistent with the blend,,, but starbucks is starbucks coz of the ambience,,, it's not so coño and it's not so jologs rin,,, aus nga crowd dun weh,,, :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
Sazzygirl Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Cympre coffee for meh..yan nman kc pinka special sa kanila e.. Quote Link to comment
mokuei Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 i think still the ambience and the crowdthat draws people in. Quote Link to comment
kuhraizee Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 its their blended coffee and the ambience... Quote Link to comment
Kyle_Rayner Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 What's so special about starbucks? They're the ones who started the commercial coffee bandwagon here although I still think of them as being overrated. Figaro and Coffee Bean are much better. Quote Link to comment
mokuei Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Special about starbuck?...for me...Caramel Macchiato cold, dark choco frap and teh walnut brownie....thats about it. Quote Link to comment
cherriedu Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) hmm. starbucks is just another coffee shop. more popular lang than its competitorspeople think it's the in thing and you're cool when you're hanging out with your friends herekaya it is such a huge success.and always over crowded. i still prefer figaro and gloria jeans for my daily dose of caffeinein fairness to starbucks, i like the oreo cheesecake.
