Through a Starbucks drive thru and haven't been thru one it seems for a very long time.. in Calgary, a selection of breakfast sandwiches now grace the menu..
The menu is hard to read.. I don't recall reading the selections of muffins or beverages to be very clear at all this morning.

FWIW, Starbucks is offering an extra $5 on your Starbucks gift card when you recharge your gift card with $25 by 1/31/12, using a Visa card.

The $5.00 Visa promotional credit for the reload of at least $25.00 has to be done online before the day of January 31, 2012 and will be applied the week of February 6, 2012. The time frame for the credit to be applied was specified towards the bottom of the promotional email, but it was in small print. Please note the offer is only valid for 1 credit of $5.00 per account.
Unfortunately, you will not get a confirmation that it was applied. If you would like to verify that it did go through, you can give us a call at 1-800-782-7282 Monday through Friday from 5AM to 8PM (PST) that following Monday, 02/09/2012. The other option would be to review your transaction detail online. Thank you for your time.

I tried Starbucks Blonde for the first time in COS a few weeks ago. Very mild. I could drink about 5 cups throughout the day.
Glad to see there are a few Dunkin fans here. Having lived in the Northeast for many years, you see Dunkin Donuts everywhere.
Lately, thanks to my Canadian friends like A.M., I've been popping into Tim Hortons.
I've made notes in my planner with all the places mentioned here. Lots of micro beaneries I never heard of. Awesome! Thanks guys/gals.

I also agree, but I lived in DD land for many years and grew very fond of their coffee. When I am in Chicago, I typically run to a Dunkin for java.
AM, yes you are right. 5 of ANY coffee beverage a day from Starbucks is getting pricey.
I posted this in another thread somewhere (maybe earlier in this one - can't remember), but years ago, the trick of the trade was to get a large coffee from McDonalds in the morning. They used to set out coffee pots on the counter. You just stopped in to a Micky D's as you traveled around during the day and refilled it for free. It was called the Micky D's bottomless cup. Those days are gone. Pots are now behind the counter again.
