Thanks for giving JV an outlet Mel, I do reviews of restaurants and am now inspired to expand my horizons to coffee.

Wow. Thanks to everyone for their kind comments! The drink I had was just an ordinary tall latte…sorry it wasn’t anything more exotic.

And the pastry case was fine…sorry for omitting that part.

I have to admit, the Juan Valdez reviews have helped me with my coffee shop reviews – both Starbucks and non-Starbucks.

The review was short and sweet (and funny). It was more of a YES/NO evaluation vs an indepth sharing of the experience. I like it. I’d like to see more guest reviews from Juan Valdez on your blog LET YOUR POWERS COMBINE! What I don’t understand is why there seems to be such a clean bathroom issue among the Starbucks :/ I don’t get it. LOL

Senor Valdez – good to see your burro is in good health and still gets a hankerin’ for Seattle’s finest brew. What did he order?

Have you ever considered broadening your horizons and adding another national coffee chain to your list of berating reviews? I here Dunkin Donuts serves a superior drip.

Good to read Juan again, I enjoy his reviews. I also want to know what his drink was, and –> how was the pastry case??

Hey Juan! Welcome to StarbucksMelody and thanks for the update. I was wondering the same thing as Venti_Bold, what did you order?

I for one would be interested in hearing more from you (my Wednesdays have not been the same).

Perhaps because Melody has such a coffee and core focus on her blog you could do a few reviews on drinks and drink standards.

There are so many ways to look at Starbucks and the Starbucks Experience. It would be interesting to hear your point of view on how the product fares (or fails) these days and how well the coffee knowledge is being transferred to today’s baristas.

I love starbucks but every starbucks I have ever visited has an unfortunate bathroom situation (minus the ones I visited in England). Why is that?! Ahh!

“And, of course, I had to do it because when you don’t do what a burro wants, they are prone to sudden and unexpected attacks of diarrhea which, as you can imagine, is not fun to be around.” – CRACKED ME UP!

Interesting! What drink did you order?

Was there a diaper change table in the bathroom?
