There are no Starbucks where I live so the best I can do is post pictures of my favourite SC beverage here in the CORe and vent my frustration. This is my favourite frap: Dark Mocha Chip Frappucino, in all its Tahiti brown glory...
Post your favourites, or just share your hate :p |

I know but still, for some strange reason, I find myself craving this particular frappuccino all the time now that I'm in Brazil :D |

| Going to starbucks for good coffee, is like going to mcdonalds for a gourmet burger. |

Starbucks is that typical American house coffee and we don't want any of that ty corporate Yank here, nor anywhere else in the world.
In fact, we did a case study in a marketing class last week on Starbucks and why it failed so miserably but succeeded at being so awfully in the local market. |

Given the somewhat huge amount of (good) local cafes here serving coffee- not a coffee flavoured milkshake with a funny name the locals think sounds a 'bit queer'
It was never going to succeed :p
Bit like trying to sell spaghetti to the Italians by telling them "they're doing it wrong" by the equivalent of a cultural backwater. Krispy Kreme is getting shuffled out feet first for much the same reasons, no one goes to them when you can find a pastry shop in most metropolitan suburbs. |

I did a 700 km round trip to get this meal.
Ok, so i didnt do it just for the coffee and burger king, i drove a friend to the Vienna airport and since we made a day out of it i noticed this in the city...since none were available where i live at the time, i of course had to have it :D |

I like Starbucks, because I love iced coffee and have yet to find a place that does that better.
Yeah, they're a huge chain, but it's a nice place to sit, chat with friends, and have a coffee. They've managed to maintain a pretty decent vibe despite all the expansion. |
