Starbucks listens to the vegetarians

June 24, 2010

Those who are vegetarians have been asking Starbucks for more vegetarian food options.  This is a common theme at My Starbucks Idea.  Coming soon (I believe on June 29, 2010) Starbucks is introducing two new food items, designed for the vegetarian diet.  I bet that even those of us who are not vegetarians are going [...]

May 26, 2010

Your local Starbucks has amazing snacks.  As I write this post, I’m dunking Lucy’s Cinnamon Thin cookies into my cup of afternoon Sumatra. Delicious.  We are now continuing our walk through the “snack aisle” at Starbucks, and stop to talk about these cookies.  I think they’ve been available for a while, but I only just [...]

There’s popcorn at Starbucks now! Did I miss the flood of customers pounding on the doors of MyStarbucksIdea.com begging for popcorn at their local Starbucks? It never crossed my mind, until I actually saw it in the store, that Starbucks should sell popcorn. Yes.  I really am talking about popcorn. Even stranger, it is Starbucks-branded [...]

Orange and Valencia: Flavors we miss at Starbucks

April 3, 2010

What is “orange”? It’s a fruit with a peel with a stipple feel to it.  It’s a county and a city in California.  It’s a county and a city in Florida. It was a syrup at Starbucks, once upon a time.  It was a cupcake flavor at Starbucks, once upon a time.  It is one [...]

Mini sparkle donuts at Starbucks: Do you like them?

January 17, 2010

This blog entry is about mini sparkle donuts. That’s it! Nothing complicated here! I like them. The vanilla one is my favorite. The frosting is wonderfully sweet and rich. I don’t even know what those sparkles are (okay, I assume sugar) but they’re wonderful little sprinkles. The donut part of the donuts is moist and [...]

Vanilla Cupcakes return to Starbucks

December 27, 2009

Vanilla cupcakes are back at Starbucks! They arrived back in the stores on December 26, 2009.  They’re not the same as last year’s cupcake though. There aren’t as many sprinkles, and the frosting is not as sweet as before. The cake part of the cupcake is not as moist. It definitely is a step down [...]
