it's sad how it's an expensive ingredient even though is quite normal everyday drinks

Just like rice, beer, wine, medicine, car, etc, all for the benefit of cronies.

Actually 'expensive' or not depends on the type of coffee.
Arabica is generally more expensive than Robusta but non-specialty grade Arabica is actually not expensive at all.
Even if it's specialty grade, the reason it's expensive here is because of our currency.

java chip no whipped cream always my fav.

If you start enjoying starbucks, you'll be delighted that there are many other independent cafe these days serving even better coffee with nicer ambiance, and sometimes much cheaper as well.

I love the booming coffee culture in Malaysia.

people buy starbucks as a lifestyle now
indeed 8 out of 10 people who buy starbucks will take a picture of it or at least check-in there and post it to social media
imo starbucks sells lifestyle and services instead of coffee
teeangers would love to meetup at starbucks and have a chit chat there and can stay there for hours (some also do their assignments or working stuff there)

p.s
personally i like starbucks' asian dolce latte

*sign*

how do you guys drink frappuccino ?
i tried once cause "omg frappuccino so delicious" kind of gossip
and i brought a choco chip frappuccino with whipp cream blah blah
with a tiny straw
i think that type of drinks need spoon
cause as a kiamsiap *******
i find it a waste especially since it cost rm15+++

that's starbucks for you

i also sometime passby (sorry not sometime, is EVERYDAY )
my throat get all thirsty cause is coffee

but after see the price
so i normally 1 cup per month....
or week

LOL have to research all these coffee drinks..
after my finals

the starbucks is near my university,
so it's always fill with student rushing or "studying"
but weirdly, my study power level up at Starbucks compare with library

haha either do i bro
always go starbucks to study or doing assignment when my brain stuck
indeed it open my brain again lol
i think because of the starbucks environment
they always have great interior design which make customer always feel relax
no wonder they are so successful now

of the caffeine aroma ?
but sometime if you don't buy drinks,
just use their equipment (toilet, aircon, plug hold etc etc)
the waiter waitress will keep on staring at you

i like the coffee aroma more since i am a coffee addict lol
haha ofcoz la
this is my strategies with fren
we will only buy one cup then share it and sit there for hours
or u can sit outdoor if u not buy anything

but i normally alone at starbuck
and i jio them they also will say "too expensice, dont want lah, got rm5 cafe go there lah"
and i don't really much money to DRINK DAILY

so i always kena stare
but now less

malaysia so hot still sit outside,
some more the starbuck otuside is quite compressed
inside still got table plug head can charge hp

haha jio ur girl lo
yes indoor maybe got more the coffee feeling
but u can try outside too
its not hot as u think
and its nice

Starbucks is overrated and expensive... Starbucks near my office got 20% off for staff but i've never even drank once ever since working here lel

no one want
nah, tried one time,
sweat alot

lol go find la
haha so u better stay inside
