For me, $50 is 10 breakfasts - a large coffee, a lowfat scone and a container of yogurt
There are better coffeehouses out there, and I can buy the same food/coffee cheaper elsewhere , but with a Starbucks on every corner, it's convenient which is something I prefer on my way into work in the morning.
Thanks to the OP for posting this - buy 10 breakfasts, get 2 free
