Starbucks Via instant coffee gets lukewarm reviews in New York debut

I'm with the NY Starbux devotees. I hate to see S'bux join the likes of Nescafe.

Since its launch in 2009, the VIA Ready Brew line has brought in over $100 million in global sales, according to SymphonyIRI. And, according to Nielson, Starbucks spent a whopping $17 million supporting the launch.

I like the Top Pot Doughnuts served through Starbucks.



And look who bought two boxes of Top Pot Doughnuts


Note: The location in this pic is not a Starbucks coffeeshop but a branch of Top Pot Doughnut. Top Put Doughnut is served in the Philippines through Starbucks.

Past report

Starbucks Philippines Celebrates the Arrival of Top Pot Doughnuts

This April 12, 2010 Starbucks will be offering Top Pot Doughnuts in select Starbucks Coffee outlets in the Philippines.

Top Pot is a family owned business started by two brothers Mark and Michael Klebeck. Starbucks hand selected Top Pot back in 2005 to carry their doughnuts in the Starbucks pastry cases of stores throughout western Washington. Starbucks is pleased to offer its customers a unique, old style hand-forged doughnut.

Top Pot and Starbucks share a commitment to providing highest levels of quality and taste. Top Pot’s signature “hand-forged” doughnuts are made using very little automation in order to give each doughnut a hand crafted taste and look that is a perfect pairing for Starbucks® hand crafted beverages and coffee.

Aside from being locally-owned (thus, patronizing it will help our country's economy), there's a lot to love about Bo's Coffee.
1) Good baristas - well-trained and accomodating
2) Ambience - generally quiet (on the days I go there) and laid back. Good place to catch up with friends.
>> There are too many Apple fans showing off their latest gadgets @ Starbucks - the crowd is too much for me.
3) The Coffee - all-time fave Mocha Frappe and my newly discovered Espresso Crumble with a shot of Hazelnut. COFFEE HEAVEN!

Favorite Bo's Branch : Bo's in Fully Booked Ayala Terraces. They even responded to our suggestion of putting up a wi-fi spot in the area. Very good!

totally agree with you... Espresso Crumble is my new best thing to drink if I had too much of froccino oreo

as for the baristas, wi-fi accomodation and the ambience, I appreciate Bo's in Capitol.. pampered au ko didto.. I can even leave my things there.. that's why I don't leave the place without a big tip

As for Starbucks, I patronize them as well coz of their Praline Mocha wid Espresso for 3 years now and also can't get enough of their pastries
