    i feel like every time i go into sBucks they have something new - and i guess for a customer like myself it doesn't help since i'm not a food person and i usually stick to my drink of choice, but i think that for a lot of others, variety is a good thing. i actually saw someone order the piadini thing this AM and i've seen people order the oatmeal in the past so it's all a good thing for them. it's generating some additional revenue i think. i just hope that it's enough to offset the cost of getting these new foods into the store.

    I'm a person for which all this new stuff is completely lost upon. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to drinks. I stick to the same two things always at Starbucks: tall black coffee or tall cafe au lait w/ a flavoring.

    Meh, I like some things they offer, but most things are over priced. Usually when I like something, they stop offering it like the lemon cream cheese muffins!

    Got a coupon for the oatmeal - tried it, can you say instant @ it's worst! No texture,no flavor and no taste. Skip it...

    I thought the bran muffin was pretty good. And the banana chocolate chip bread is AWESOME.

    @Womenfest the oatmeal wasn't good? I was going to get it tomorrow but after hearing your advice I will definately skip it. You might like Quaker Oat's Strawberry Oatmeal. Smiling

    some of their stuff is okay but my mom used to work at starbucks and got to bring home the leftover food after work and I got sick of all of it lol though it's been a while and I haven't tried any of the new stuff but most of it doesn't seem too intriguing

    I actually just ate the Sausage Piadini this morning and it wasn't bad. It's not the best breakfast sandwhich in the world, but I liked it better than their other sandwhiches.

    The chocolate vivanno is like drinking chalk. It's okay, but not great.
    And I haaate mango, so I'm not even going to attempt the other.
