Coffee


I have been a regular on Starbucks for so long. I love their Sumatra coffee the best and their Ice-shaken. Their food selection is not bad and varies depending on which country you are in. In those years I would go to Starbucks minimum once per week, and during which I would also go to other coffee shops.. I think it was the fact the Starbucks grew on me! But then I realized.. this isn't the best coffee in the world!! Really!

Around 3-4 years back.. I started going to other cafes more and more, and going to starbucks less and less.... I realized that I loved their drinks more than Starbucks's!!!
Second cup have amazing coffee selection, and a yummy green tea latte! So does coffee bean and tea leaf.. plus their super wide range of herbal teas! Those two coffee shops are growing on me heehee


I will explore and write more about the coffee shops that I like.. so stay tuned ;-)

Try Tully's its the best.. ( I think you can find it in the U.S (West Coast) and Japan. They both were established in Seattle (The mother of "fast-coffee" shops) and they are really competing with Starbucks especially on the cold drinks category. So.. if you passed by some Tully's place.. just get inside and try some of their drinks!
