Starbucks Breakfast: Doomed from the Get Go

The best I can tell, the people dissing the Starbucks breakfast sandwiches have not actually eaten one. I had my first in Philadelphia last weekend. It was really good. It was not an Egg McMuffin (which I appreciate for being the healthiest widely available breakfast sandwich, but the spongy muffin and American "cheese" are far from good). I had the ham, egg and cheese version. The Black Forest ham and cheddar cheese were both really good, as was the slightly oversized English muffin. There was nothing special about the egg part, but neither was their anything objectionable about it. It was by far the best breakfast fast food offering I've ever had of the bread/egg/meat/cheese variety.

The people who complain about appearance of the sandwiches remind me of the time a friend of mine was invited to judge the baked goods competition at the state fair. A number of the people on the panel with her wanted to hand out ribbons based on appearance alone without actually tasting the baked goods. Same concept.

Starbucks was in need of more non-sweet breakfast selections. They hit this one out of the ball park. I can't wait until they're in all locations.

Frankly, I'd be happy not to run into any of the grousers in Starbucks.

This is hands down, one of the dumbest articles I have EVER read. If you want to be serious about what you eat, you are NOT going to go to Starbucks. Of course their quality is not good! Their coffee is great because it's convenient and quick, not because it's quality. Find something better to criticize. Criticizing ANYTHING at Starbucks is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Starbucks Breakfast: Doomed from the Get Go

I live in Vancouver BC Canada. The Starbucks down the raod is selling the breakfast sandwiches. I *Love* it. There is another place where i go in the morning "Tim Hortons" (Canadian icon) to get a quick bit to eat + a coffee. I can say now, the Starbucks breakfast sandwiches OWN. There are hands down the best. Im hooked.
