What's So Special About Starbucks?

[Jessieboy]

Admittedly masarap naman talaga kape nila yun nga lang nagiging tambayan na rin ng mga epals at mga social climbers kaya ayun madami ng umiiwas pumunta and instead doon sa mga di masyadong mataong coffee shops na lang.

[twistedangel016]

love ko ang jave chip nila.. yummy

[hulios]

Mocha Frappe lang ako doon if the weather is Hot. Tapos when its raining, Tazo Zen Green Tea naman - refillable hot water. I guess it would be the atmosphere of every store. Yun yung patok para sa akin. Love the cozy feeling sa mga couches nila. Especially doon sa UN, Roxas Blvd. Hate people who go there dahil feeling nila cool or social sila. Bigyan ko sila ng hagdanan e.

I think it is just about the brand, a lot of people go there just to be seen.

I prefer UCC coffee, they have richer aroma and flavor.

[bitoysworld123]

siguro it's more of the ""coffee experience" eh, ung para bang feel at home ka pag andun ka... the warm welcome, saka ung friendliness ng mga staff nila, un bang feeling close sila sa yo as a client...

[daemonknight]

NONE - it really nothing more than over-priced, burnt coffee!

[theluffy99]

its just a branded coffee shop,nothing special....but their making f#&king billion dollars!!!!siguro kahit 3 in 1 ilagay lang sa starbucks papercup mabebenta mo ng 150...hehe

[drod10]

its the place... karamihan sa mga pinoy ginagawa nang tambayan ang starbucks... kala nila sosyal nang tignan pag nagkakape dun.

[theluffy99]

social status na eh noh?hahaha..dami jan mga mates ko nga bumibili jan kahit di naman mayaman..hays,nagsayang lang ng pera

[kookoochiao]

IMHO, nothing special.

 

Guess it's so well known coz they were the first to market it coffee drinking as a total lifestyle experience. People basically bought into the idea and was willing to a premium for it. However, as can be seen from changes they have made in the financial crisis, that idea is now old hat.

[dokitty]

off course the CUTE GUYS and the cozy ambiance.... great for just chilling out with friends..

and ma love caramel Macchiatto :heart:

[sha79]

hindi ka makakapag-chillax "sana" sa starbucks. daming emo,maiingay na teenagers and mga pasosyal na akala mo mayaman na sila kasi umorder ng starbucks. hay nako masstressed ka lang lalo. :thumbsdownsmiley:

[maniaclara]

nothing special for me. just a popular brand to the rich, the not-so-rich, and the feeling rich. to be fair, i'm not a coffeephile. don't know jack about what kind of coffee tastes good or not so i really couldn't care less...

[dinadult]

sakin din,nothing special..mas gugustuhin ko pa sa mini-stop,hehe

 

napansin ko din sa friendster at facebook,dami nagpopost ng starbucks na baso na d ko lam ang reason kung bakit..

[PARTYPrincess]

starbucks is now overrated! :thumbsdownsmiley:

[Masquerade]

their international trademark and the ambiance?

but personally I'd rather have my instant coffee in the pantry with manang than have a high-falluting sounding coffee amidst some posers.

[purrtypwincess]

Very overpriced and overrrated coffee. And they do not follow the same standards across all branches. Either the water is too hot, or lacks caramel in the macchiato.

 

I'd rather have Coffee Bean (just the right temperature of water and sweetness), and even the Kaffe Kreme at Krispy Kreme tastes much better (and cheaper too!).

[markreyes76]

The biggest posers are people who use complicated words in an attempt to sound smarter than they are, but have no idea how to spell or use it properly.

 

Thanks, you gave me a good laugh today. LOL.

no one is pointing a gun to your head.

 

its a matter of choice.

 

but to lable it as somthing bad is unfair to those who choose to go there.

 

To stereo-type people who go and drink there are posers is as unintelligent as those people with who labelled Filipinas as domestic helpers.

 

the drinks there are expensive yes...i think of it as the same thing as people in this country (who can either afford it or not) to acquire the latest mobile phone model. It doesn't make sense to me but if they are happy doing that then fine.

[clinkz16]

Whats so special about starbucks? High priced coffees, over rated trademark and business name, hot chicks that are either posers or real life socialista that you can gawk ur eyes on! hahaha sana sa canteen nmin may ganito, minus the high prices; much rather prefer the ladies only! haha

[kempaf]

sa mahal ng kape... magigising ka talaga...

 

SA PRESYO!

 

hehe

 

:thumbsupsmiley:

[khilua23]

di ko gusto ang starbucks.. reason is yung price. sobrang mahal.

siguro what's special is yung mga sofa nila, free milk, free wifi... pero mahal parin talaga... :thumbsdownsmiley: :thumbsdownsmiley: :thumbsdownsmiley:

[desidido69]

ok lang naman basta sulitin ang experience doon. uminom, socialize, makicharge, maki-CR, maki-internet.

[niceNslow.2]

nothin special, punta ka ng ibang coffee shops ganun din naman di ba? pinoy culture lang naman nagpapapangit sa mga ganyan, kung kaya mo bumili, good! kung hindi wag! experience din siguro, kasi kapag first mo, feeling good ka, at least natry mo kung ano meron dun at bakit pinag-uusapan.

[cocoy0]

The combined smell of coffee and cigarettes.
