tauruslady Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 A starbucks thread?!?! genius:naughty: I do love Starbucks, though for a very long time I thought they didn't serve tea:blush-anim-cl: and since tea is like water in my family, I rarely went there. Coffee is something that I do have a good bit, but I still can't make up my mind about if I like it or not...its just one of those things, if the smell calls to me, I'll have a coffee, if not...I just drink it and feel really confused... but I do love the atmosphere in Starbucks.

I love a nice warm cappachino(sp.?) or a hot chocolate:wub2: though when we were on holiday I was craving a hot chocolate and as soon as I got it I spilt it all over the floor! It was very embarrassing, and very irritating, not even having a sip and seeing it swirl all aroud the floor:doh: so, yeah that sort of ruined the typical Starbucks atmosphere:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsyfartsy17 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ah, Starbucks...one of the very few chains that I approve of. If I've got money, then I get a venti blended mocha frappuccino with extra whipped cream and an espresso shot. Then I go over to the counter and add loads of vanilla, chocolate, and nutmeg powder. If I'm trying to save money (or have very little, or am trying to be healthier) then I get a grande black iced tea, unsweetened with extra syrup (because I love that black tea flavor) and then go to the counter and add two packets of Splenda and the absolutely tiniest little bit of half and half to make it creamy. My friends always make fun of me when we go because I'm shy around strangers and mumble a lot. The barrista never hears my name right, so it's always "Black tea for Faith!" or "Mocha frap for Janie!":naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mika-fan1001 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ow I love Starbucks!! growing up with American movies and tv-shows so I always had this thing of walking down the street with the Starbucks cup, or just sitting in there with it, and everytime I go abroad I do that:blush-anim-cl: aww hahah I always get a cinnamon frapaccino --- YUM! ....and you know cinnamon makes you beautiful! ive nvr had that! is it good? ah, I love Starbucks I know: capitalism, globalisation and all that, but I'm sorry, I love it. One of my best friends lives in NYC (and I'm in Ireland ) and we made up this idea that Starbucks should start something like the flue powder thing in Harry Potter, where you can go into a portal in any Starbucks in the world and be transported to any other Starbucks in the world. how cool would that be? It's the way of the future im sorry, ignore me hahah nice ------------------------------------------------------------------------- i recomend anyone who likes ice tea to get a Passion Ice Tea Lemonade *sweetened* it is great! at least here anyway.lol. and i dont like all ice teas! im quite picky!

kk448 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Starbucks and Illy coffee are my favourite. Tim Horton's is third. Sorry fellow Canadians... My cousin works at Tim Horton's, but she lives in a different state. I had never heard of it until then...I don't think they have them around where I live.

JackViolet Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Starbucks used to be cool 4 years ago. Now any self-respecting cool person goes to quirky indie coffeeshops. I have a 24-hr Starbucks across from where I live though... it's pretty convenient. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really useful for when I want coffee at 3 am. Which I actually do sometimes. My roommate used to go there to work on papers. Am I allowed to post about other coffee shops I like here? 'Cause I don't really go to Starbucks much... when I do though, I usually order a skinny soy vanilla latte. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 My default is a nonfat iced latte. There's something about that first sip of a nice, iced latte...mmm. Rarely, I'll switch it up and order a caramel macchiato. Generally if I'm having a bitchy day. It's comfort food in a paper cup. I only order chai lattes between November 15th and January 5th. I'm weird like that. Oh, and Starbucks' Berry Blossom White Tea will be forever associated in my mind with How Much Do You Love Me. I was drinking two of those per day last October when that first HMDYLM vid from France surfaced and I started listening to it repeatedly - and now the song and the beverage will be forever linked. Starbucks and Illy coffee are my favourite. Tim Horton's is third. Sorry fellow Canadians...[ 'Sokay, Starbucks bevvies beat Timmy's, IMHO. But you have to admit that Timmy's lunch sandwiches are fabulous. (Not the breakfast sandwiches though. Eww!) Starbucks used to be cool 4 years ago. Now any self-respecting cool person goes to quirky indie coffeeshops. How about quirky indie tea houses that showcase local indie bands who play bongos and pan flutes? There's one of those near where I work. Going there always makes me want to get dreds and don a "legalize it" t-shirt. It's all about Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf There's one of those in LA right near the Roosevelt Hotel, down from Hollywood & Highland. We don't have them here. Must go there when I get to Los Angeles-land.
