Starbucks international I am not the greatest fan of the black stuff but on occasion I do like to grab a coffee when I'm out and about to warm me up or give me a boost. Starbucks is certainly not my first choice of coffeehouse yet it would appear that there is one on every corner. Here in my new home in Santiago, Chile I find myself passing this beacon of capitalism everyday merely two blocks from my doorstep. I try and avoid it but laziness and the lure of free Wi-Fi is enough to drag me in now and then. Fortunately upon checking the prices I usually come to my senses and walk straight back out again. The current price for the cheapest coffee on offer; a ...  Read the complete review

i'll start by saying i used to work in a coffee shop and was a barista for a few years myself so i'm very critical of coffee shops. starbucks is a nice place to go for a treat if you've had a hectic day shopping and need to perk yourself up. i tend to go to starbucks because i like their blend of coffee, i find Costa coffee is a bit too strong and slightly bitter, where as starbucks is smoother, albeit , a little weaker, so if if you like a smooth,sweet coffee go to starbucks, the food on display is pricey and the sandwiches, i dont find that appetising as i always have a bit of a dilemma when trying to pick something to eat while ...  Read the complete review

Starbucks coffee is not the ideal place to go for a normal cup of coffee. However, this is not a bad thing. I first started going to Starbucks as soon as I became a student, I usually have iced mochas or vanilla fraps.

The reason I go to starbucks, is firstly the vast choice of all the different types of drinks you can get. On a freezing cold day you can get a lovely steaming ...  Read the complete review

starbucks coffee house is a really nice place to sit and enjoy a drink whilst you are out shopping. its comfortable and stylish. they offer a wide variety of drinks so its not just coffee which some people may think.you can also buy snacks such as sanwiches and cakes which are of a high standard. the only problem with this shop are that the prices are quite high and in my opinion quite overpriced however the chocolate frapacinos are absolutely gorgeous but you have to get it with extra cream and chocolate sprinkles. they also sell lovely chocolate chip shortcakes which are really nice they melt in your mouth. if you are very fond of the coffee they sell it in packets so  Read the complete review

I never got the starbucks crush that everyone else seemed to get, maybe that was because i'm not a great coffee fan but the other half is. So one day whilst out shopping he dragged me in and I had a toffee hot chocolate...YUM!! This was absolutely beautiful, never tasted anything like it and I was finally won over by it, also in the summer the have frappuccinos in different flavours which is nice to go in and have a seat and a nice cold refreshing drink. On top of this you can also buy sandwiches, rolls, biscuits, cakes etc. so you can grab something to eat whilst you chill out. It can be quite pricey though so it's not somewhere I go that often and the queues are always  Read the complete review
