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?

Starbucks and (PRODUCT)RED have joined up to donate funds to the Global Fund. With each purchase of Starbucks’ holiday drinks (peppermint mocha twist, gingersnap latte, or espresso truffle), Starbucks donates a nickel to save lives in Africa. When making your purchase at Starbucks locations, look for the big red ( ) and take a picture [...]

This might be the first for me – seeing a shutdown Starbucks location. Like McDonalds in its heyday, once a location opened, it’d be there forever. Not so anymore. This is the location inside the Hokua luxury condo planned for closure along with four other SBUX locations in Hawaii. Technorati Tags: coffee, Hawaii, Starbucks

Now that Barack Obama has left the Aloha State, how about starting up some vacation packages modeled after Barack’s stay? If I were a local tour guide, I’d do something like this… Day 1. Pick up visitors from the airport then cart them off to Keehi Lagoon Beach Park. Allow visitors to make impromptu speeches [...]

Starbucks will be giving away free Vivanno drinks this weekend to those with registered Starbucks cards. On July 25 and 26, you can taste a healthy dose of Orange Mango Banana or Banana Chocolate and see if the Vivannos stand a chance against its former Jamba Juice sibling. I guess you’ll have to pay for [...]

For the longest time, I thought Starbucks and Jamba Juice were conjoined twins. You usually see one right next to the other. That’s why I was confused to hear of Starbucks’ latest Vivanno fruit drinks. Why bother with a Jamba-like creation when the real deal was usually a few doors away? I asked this question [...]

No, it’s not a car, but Starbucks’ new nutritious blended fruit drinks launching today. The Vivanno Nourishing Blends feature flavors like the Orange Mango Banana and Banana Chocolate and contain at least one serving of fruit. And yes, you can customize these drinks like adding a shot of espresso. Not sure if I’ll try this [...]

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, [...]

Free WiFi access at Starbucks might be available starting tomorrow. With a registered Starbucks card, the proposed plan provides 2 hours of free wireless access per day. Enough time to have an off-site work meeting! Technorati Tags: Starbucks

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 [...]

It’s only week 2 of the recent Starbucks Pick of the Week music promotion, and already it’s off to a shaky start in Hawaii. I found the first Pick, the Counting Crows’ Washington Square, but that’s all. I haven’t been able to find the pick for week 2 at two Starbucks locations. I went on [...]

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

Okay, so I didn’t think of Starbucks new Splash Sticks. That honor supposedly goes to Seattle Stix Chick, and people are reportedly loving them. Love them or hate them, they’re here. My idea piggy backs off of the Splash Stick after drinking some Splash Stuck Pikes Place roast the other morning. What do you do [...]

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 [...]
