There is one powerful motivator that gets all trendy workers, students, and city-goers through each busy week…and that is our almighty Starbucks. Like Gossip Girl’s Blair and Serena, the city-gal and her Starbucks are inseparable BFFs. When entering our beloved coffee haven, we feel completely relaxed and recharged by the heavenly aroma of toasty coffee beans brewing.
We can get through mostly anything with that familiar green and white coffee cup confidently in hand.
Whenever a grueling day presents itself, Starbucks is there like a faithful friend offering chocolate (the key to every heartbreak and crummy situation). Starbucks offers a luscious Cheesecake Brownie or Java Chip Frappuccino in these times to do the trick. When yearning to escape the brutally cold weather, a warm Caramel Flan Latte or White Hot Chocolate can sooth and improve the quality of your entire day. And when gorgeous spring weather finally arrives, a refreshing Orange Mango Smoothie by the Charles River is ultimate perfection!
Surprisingly, many creative coffee lovers, even dedicated “Starbuckians,” are unaware of the entire scoop on Starbucks. Move on over Victoria, because Starbucks has a secret too! A secret menu, that is.
