I just love the taste of their coffee!
But since 2001, when I first tasted their café mocha in a Makati (Greenbelt) branch, I’ve drank maybe just around 10 cups. And half of those happened when I was in Makati.
There are currently 3 Starbucks branches here in Cebu. They opened a new one at the IT park but I haven’t been there yet. I can count the number of times I’ve been to the other 2 branches; 4 times in Ayala, and once in SM.
Poor me! I love the coffee but… A friend of mine (whom I considered as a Henry Sy in the making) once said that the price is just insane. Yeah, really insane, and no different from the other foreign-owned coffee shops! But last Sunday, I asked my wife that we go out to Starbucks. “It’s expensive!” she exclaimed. “Are you sure?” I let out a grin. “Yeah, I miss Starbucks!”. She smiled in return and said "Me too."

Hi. I can relate to this post. I once got hooked on Starbucks going as much as 6 times a week for coffee. sometimes twice a day. Then I realized that I was spending 400 to 500 pesos on coffee and it was just too much so I quit.
I love coffee too!!!....
