Speaking of the virtues of Starbucks..

Coffee
I stop drinking instant coffee since the day I tasted my first cup of brewed coffee from Starbucks. It is my first cup of coffee when I moved to this city, and that’s represent something to me. Until now even though Starbucks came out a lots of flavor, fresh brewed, no sugar, long black Starbucks coffee still my first choice.

Art/Design
I studied art, indirectly Starbucks introduced me to Vincent Van Gogh and Edward Hopper.
Haha, I used to had 2 coffee mugs bought from Starbucks with their artwork on it, which are Vincent van Gogh: Cafe terrace on the place du forum, and Edward Hopper: Nighthawks.
Try to study about their logo design, I’m sure it will inspire you as it did to me.
Is too bad I’ve lost one of the mugs, till now I’m still using the “Nighthawks” mug, makes my coffee taste better

Atmosphere
I wanted to say environment, but I more prefer that Starbucks create an atmosphere, if you go for the right Starbucks, you will enjoy the coffee shop instead of feeling having coffee in a fast food restaurant.

To be frank, Malaysia’s Starbucks, when come to “coffee shop”, it might be a bit commercial, quality control still have some rooms to improve, but when come to “high-tech hang out place”, top choice!
It is my favorite place which able to enjoy both relax+blog at the same time~

There are few BEST Starbucks Coffee Shop to me so far that I’ve visited.
USJ Taipan and Penang Gurney Hotel, the two Starbucks coffee shops provided me a fast Wifi which allowed me to blog joyfully, kind service, good interactive with the waiter/waitress, and of cause a cup of nice black coffee

New ideas never stop~

Brilliant ideas!! I have to give compliment to that~
Apple and Starbucks started their rollout of the Starbucks WiFi Music Store in select cities. Although it is not happen in Malayisia yet, but I’m really looking forward for that!!
Starbucks never stop providing fresh ideas and new flavor to their customer~

Improving the outlets, since I’ve nothing much to complain about the coffee (I love it ~)

Hopefully Starbucks can have some new food on their menu, off the top of my head, “When Spicy meets Coffee”, as I tasted, coffee and curry are quite harmony in certain way, well, if it doesn’t work out, at least Starbucks still have ice teas as backup :p

If spaces is not an issue, I wish Starbucks coffee shop able to provide variety of enjoyment,
Coffee section, as usual, but mainly focus on relax, reading, casual hang out~

Music section, sometime I felt it is kinda annoying with the backgroud music when I tried to read, maybe there will be a music section live live band show, Jazz performer, even a pianist which play live music on a small stage~

IT section for bloggers, where people can sit together on a round table, host some gathering~
All slot, charger, cable, wireless device,bluetooth shared printer will be available in this section, purely design for IT geeks who love Starbucks :p

That will be a dream place for me to hang out!
