pugadbaboy Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I think sila lang kasi nagpauso ng different "flavors/types" of coffee sa pinas and you can't deny na masarap talaga ang "flavored" coffee ... other than that wala na - so now na medyo marami na ring coffee-houses - parang normal na ang starbucks. Oh yeah wait meron pa pala - they are American-owned so malaki ang backing na pera so kayang-kaya magtayo ng maraming branches. Quote Link to comment
pitoykodako Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The big bucks behind starbucks can't be ignored. We get the benefit of millions spent on perfecting the right flavors as well as the economies of scale starbucks commands in sourcing the best coffeebeans around the world in 1 coffee cup. But the pricing model as far as the Philippines is concerned is ludicrous. I wouldn't spend a single centavo on coffee priced that high - we're talking 1 cup > 1 day's miminum wage. The fact that Starbucks is successful in the Philippines illustrates the economic inequities we have at home. Quote Link to comment

maxsting Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 There's nothing special really about Starbucks. But how come we still go back? Well, lets all admit that its a nice place to hang out coz of the ambience, the smell of coffee and sometimes nice jazz music. Its a good place to meet up with business associates, old friends or family. Yah i know the coffee is expensive and not really that great but heck its your choice if you wana go there or to Jollibee perhaps? Quote Link to comment
Spurt Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 its a household name now. easy to identify because its almost anywhere. to say it's special, we have to compare it with other coffee shops, well, getting a place to talk business with local or foreign, you'll find starbucks inexpensive and appropriate.

kidyot214 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 i agree with spurt & also they were abl to take good care of their name. even with hundreds of branches popping out in all corners i would say that their quality is still above par. (also good marketing & advertising team) Quote Link to comment
ryc100 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 i agree with Spurt and kidyot214 its the most accessible coffee shop,thats why its a household name already. Quote Link to comment
strong_cock Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Starbuck's in Manila doubles as a library. Students go there, buy one coffee and stays there for hours. Quote Link to comment
hsmeilop Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Starbucks here in cebu is considered THE "social" coffeeshop. High priced. I still prefer Bo's Coffee Club. Quote Link to comment

Peace bro!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> WRONG,If that is so,Why did they open way before Starbucks entered the country,I read their history and I believe that It was originally based on an Italian Espresso bar then modified to the Starbucks layout when Starbucks came into the country,Check your facts .The source is the article on home grown franchises in food and beverage world.Peace Quote Link to comment
