Dunkin' Donuts One-Ups Starbucks With New Special
Responding to the economic hardship, breakfast chain Dunkin' Donuts has come out with its version of a recession deal.

A Whole Latte Beautiful Art
This past weekend, my friends and I found ourselves waiting in line for some tasty coffee. When our orders came up, we each had some cutesy latte art — hearts, leaves, etc. — and it got me wondering about latte art in general.
Latte Art: Love It or Hate It?
As Starbucks's dominance slips, I hope more people will turn to local coffee shops for their daily caffeine fix. The number one thing I love about my neighborhood cafe, Murano, is that the cappuccinos come with a pretty foam heart. In my opinion, the best coffee drinks are made with love, and latte art of any kind demonstrates a true passion for coffee-making.

Consumers are bouncing back from a harried 2008 with the firm resolve to refocus, rejuvenate, and restore their well-being.

Should Coffeehouses Do Something About Drink Loopholes?
At some Starbucks and other coffeehouses across the country, there are worse things brewing than bitter coffee — namely, nasty disputes over customized coffee drinks.
A recent article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune points out that customized drinks at Starbucks often cost less than specialty drinks.

'Wich of the Week: Pecan Pumpkin Cakewich

Inspired by carrot cake with cranberries folded in, this sweet sandwich would make a great dessert or an afternoon snack with cider.

Learning that North Korea got its first-ever fast food restaurant left me pondering our country's fast food culture. While American fast food isn't without its caveats, there is one thing that I can certainly appreciate: the convenience of the drive-thru window! From Starbucks lattes to Kentucky Fried Chicken, commuters on the go can order just about any kind of food imaginable.
Next Up at Starbucks: Value Meals
Feeling the sting from other chains such as McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, a desperate Starbucks announced last week that it will soon be introducing value meals of its own. The chain plans to launch value pairings in all its company-owned US stores on March 3. Although regular prices for food and drink items vary by store location, Starbucks claims the pairings will provide customers with an average savings of as much as $1.20.
Taste Test: Starbucks Tazo Tea Infusions
Despite hard times, coffee chain Starbucks continues to try new tactics. Two weeks ago, I introduced you to the company's tea lattes, its latest beverage to hit counters nationwide. But if lattes aren't your thing, Starbucks is hoping you'll reach for its new Tea Infusions instead, which are available in two flavors: Tazo Berry Chai and Tazo Apple Chai.
