tombone Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 actually there is a test on starbuck coffee and Mc Do in the state and Mc Do coffee came out winning the taste test. Quote Link to comment
the_mack Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 i agree with some of the posts here and you're pathetic if youre one of those types sipping a coffee for more than an our so you'll look sosyal thats plain BS in my opinion hahah Right! i can sit at the carinderia and have coffee and look sosyal... theres people who hangout sa starbucks just to be seen sitting there and display whatever there is to display and still look dugyot... pathetic.

howard_the_duck Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 But those people at Starbucks are really aptly dressed for drinking coffee Quote Link to comment
Grimace Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 i just wonder why its a common meeting place for dates? i mean i hate coffee. Quote Link to comment
lomex32 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Perhaps coffee connotes a WHOLESOME yet MATURE or BUSINESS-LIKE thought ..... compared to joint that servers ALCOHOL which may connote getting drunk etc etc..... If plain food naman .... this may just connote a FRIENDLY fare ... i just wonder why its a common meeting place for dates? i mean i hate coffee. Quote Link to comment
Bisdak88 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I say nothing really, especially with so many equally good or even better coffee house now operating...... Except maybe.... the name...STARBUCKS.... two syllables only and easy to recall..... the first to really do serious marketing and promotions.... An American Brand.... ummmm what else is there?? ambiance?? so does several other coffee house I can think off... Price?? some equally or better coffee house are much more competitive..... Service??? so does other coffee house... equally or better service... Personnel?? young, smart, courteous, efficient..... same as a few others... Maybe the Coffee??? ahhhh... to connoisseurs there are others who are better... depend really on individual taste..but to most... they don't know the difference between an arabica from a robusta or Jamaican from a French blend. Cakes and pastry?? umm I can think of better chocolate cakes, or sandwitches or cookies... sO what really the difference?? I don't really see any...... its easier to say and recall Starbucks from coffee beaneary, bo's, UCC seattles best or Nene's Coffee haws ( bacolod market??) hehehe... Quote Link to comment
namanama Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Gusto lang pa sosyal ng mga tao kapag nasa Starbucks noh!! Yuck nakakadiri tignan yung mga nagpapapicture pa.. Mas gusto ko pa yung mga open-type coffee house tsaka maluwag tignan katulad ng Coffee Experience, may kape din naman. Quote Link to comment
superdog Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Bisdak is right. Its easy to pronounce and recall.At syempre may sakit tayong pa sossy kaya ayun nagsisiksikan dun for a 100 peso coffee, and you are qualified to fire away your baluktot na English to your heart's desire hanggang mag closing.

Guest bleeding_angel Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 the ambiance... really... and great coffee! Quote Link to comment
David Aames Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 perhaps people going there really do have some bucks to burn that's why their aptly dressed or they're coming from their offices and all... What's good about it perhaps its the aroma of the coffee and malamig sa loob hahaha... haven't been to a starbucks na mahina aircon hehehe... brrrr.... Quote Link to comment
lomex32 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 How do I order ambiance ? :boo: the ambiance... really... and great coffee! Quote Link to comment
drugstore420 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 i don't get it too, but maybe it's becasue i find overpriced coffee ridiculous Quote Link to comment
HoneyBoy Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 starbucks is nothing but a "be seen" establishment. nothing is special with their products--- I can easily duplicate what they have at home. overpriced ordinary coffee. CBTL and GJ are way, way better. It has become the tambayan ng mga social climbers, mga pick up girls and gays, and this is turning off some of the legit customers who want to make business or meet with colleagues. 2 hours for a short cafe latte? come on, 15 minutes after brewing, wala na ang impact ng coffee. onli in da pilipins.

Grimace Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 starbucks equals unfathomingly silly prices..and the fact that when it started, a lot of more coffe places weeded from place to place..Stop the coffee menace and stop overpricing bad coffee... Quote Link to comment
MasTer_MaKoY Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Magaling lang talaga ang marketing strategy ng Starbucks.Nothing special... really.Alam ko yun... Kasi nagwork ako dun. Kung meron mang "special" dun, siguro yun na yung customer service na ino-offer ng Starbucks... Definitely a cut above the rest. Benchmark ng excellent customer service. Quote Link to comment
_Honey_ Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 i only had coffee there once.. cappuccino nga ata un. hindi ko na matandaan. as far as i know, sa US, hindi naman un talaga ang sosyal na coffee shop.. hmm.. it's okay. back in college, i thought it was really good. felt a bit disappointed when i had mocha frap from starbucks.. mas gusto ko pa ung sa figaro. anyway, masarap din naman.. (sabay palubag loob eh no... hehe!) Quote Link to comment

NAXS! Quote Link to comment
Mike Chester Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Parang ang binabayaran mo sa starbucks kasi is the feeling that you are somehow part of those upper class in our society. Quote Link to comment
manrick04 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 totally agree with you bro. but really... what's so special about starbucks is not starbucks. it's the chicks who hang around in starbucks!

canman Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 whats the difference between a jeepney and a BMW? they both serve a niche purpose. One costs a lot and the other not? ask people their opinion and your answers will vary and accordingly to social class. Similar to Starbucks. Yes it is not for everyone but it serves a niche and does it well. Quote Link to comment
