Got my coupon for a free pint of Starbucks ice cream in the mail. Thanks for sharing on Facebook, Starbucks! Wonder what flavor to get? Caramel Macchiato, Java Chip Frappucino, Mocha Frappucino, or Coffee? Caramel Macchiato sounds like a winner.

Hey what’s Starbucks up to opening stores under a different name? The 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea? The Big Coffee? What’s up with that? For Hawaii, can we expect a Coffee 939 as the day business model for Club 939?

While at a Starbucks the other day, I noticed they were selling their Doubleshot Energy+Coffee drinks in a can. This “premium energy coffee drink” comes in vanilla or mocha and is around $3 for 15 oz (200 Calories per can). So after a long, long week shackled to PowerPoint and tied up in practice sessions, [...]

I went a little coffee cream crazy a while back, buying the new Coffee-mate flavors, Hazelnut Biscotti, Tiramisu, Italian Sweet Creme, and Black Cherry Streusel. I just tried the Black Cherry Streusel, and this flavor just doesn’t do it for me. First off, this cream looks watery, pouring a little too freely from the bottle. [...]

Before a meeting with Coco Bean, I headed out to Starbucks to check out their new summer drinks for 2008. I went with a Doubleshot on Ice + Energy which contains vitamin B, ginseng, and guarana for some extra mental sharpness. At first, I thought this drink was a cop out using the canned Starbucks [...]

Last summer, Starbucks went fruity with their drink lineup. There was orange in June, raspberry in July, and blueberry in August. According to Starbucks Gossip, the summer of ’08 will feature a zingier array of drinks: Mint Chip Frappuccino with Chocolate Whipped Cream Blended Lemonade or Blended Green Tea Lemonade with Fresh Lemon Zest Double [...]

To appease the greenness that is the motherly (again?) Coco Bean, I found a way to reuse my Starbucks Splash Stick. Give them to your kids and let them have fun with it. You see, a sippy cup of water isn’t complete without its own Splash Stick. Technorati Tags: coffee, Starbucks

I’m no Coffee Master and know nothing of coffee smell, slurping, or geography of my palate, but I do know Starbucks new Pikes Place Roast is easy to drink. This freshly roasted and brewed coffee is not bitter or overwhelming, but it also ain’t Heaven in a cup you know? It’s simply a good cup [...]

Hmmm, Starbucks has a big secret and they’re not willing to tell until next week. Wonder what’s up? Looks like the coffee giant is taking a page out of Apple’s playbook with hints and innuendos but not much details with upcoming announcements. And the news will be announced on a Tuesday (4/8/08) no less! For [...]

But just don’t go up to a Starbucks counter and clumsily say you’d like a mock-e-ah-toe. Say macchiato like you mean it! Technorati Tags: caffeine, [...]

Can it be? Has Windward Mall risen from its deathtrap status, gotten a pulse, and now renovated with the addition of Borders and finally, a Starbucks? How things have changed! The Borders is kinda small, maybe smaller than the Pearlridge one. And like the Pearlridge Borders and the renovated Waikele Borders, the Starbucks “inside” of [...]

Slate has an article about Starbucks and its relationship with the Internet. I had read some of the included references before but never heard of a “ghetto latte.” I might have to try this since the Starbucks Oracle rates me and my drinks as “clueless.” Who else asks for a blueberry mocha?

Addictions are powerful so why should you have to change your addictions based on geography? Of course you shouldn’t, and that’s what Starbucks and McDonald’s understands. These giants are global and peddle their addictive wares to you anywhere. Need a caramel macchiato while in Hong Kong? Don’t worry, Starbucks got your covered. For 32-Hong Kong [...]

Starbucks started the summer with orange then went raspberry. Finishing up the summer flavors is now blueberries. Their newest machinations are a Blueberries and Creme Frappuccino and a Shaken Blueberry White Iced Tea. Missing from the lineup is a latte-based blueberry drink. I asked if they could make a blueberry mocha upon which the cashier [...]

The other day I get an email from Starbucks announcing their new summer drink, a raspberry mocha. Hey, a good combination – raspberry and chocolate! Just like the chocolatey, fruity goodness. So I finally made it to a Starbucks to try out this new drink with high expectations. At first sip, my impression was yuck! [...]
