I suggest avoiding their pastries. I always see fruit flies/little bugs flying around that stuff when I go there...(this is including several different locations)

I have observed this as well... though I'm still printing out a coupon!
The one by me seems better if you go through the drive through - then they get em out of a glass cabinet that closes near the window, and not the big display that the bugs get in. Maybe not a ton better... but seems better.

I've seen this before too. Is it really THAT hard to keep small animals out of the food?
No need to waste paper money on cell phone bills, I'm printing FTW!

Not sure if anyone else had this issue, but I was having trouble clicking on the "Get Coupon" link on the Starbucks site in Safari from my iPhone. Instead of typing out that ugly jpg filename (painstaking on the touchscreen), I've made it tiny.

Not bad, my friend used to close at his starbucks at midnight and would come home with dozens of pastries every night since they got fresh ones every morning. Almost a good thing that stopped as I could have gained a lot of weight

They're supposed to be donating those leftover pastries to local shelters so that the homeless people can be gaining that weight.

Just wait until the Trenta size goes live later this summer...ask for light or no ice to maximize the amount of iced coffe you get (since it's chilled anyway).

They donate to food pantries and shelters in my area. very nutritious.
Bump again for the East Coast folks so they can start hitting Starbucks at 4 AM for the 24 hour stores. (Why are the ONLY 24 hour Starbucks in SoCal in Moreno Valley, Lake Elsinore, and Riverside???)

Around 8 years ago, i used to work at dunkin donuts, when i close down the store at the end of my shift, i'm suppose to throw away all the donuts, bagels, and other pastries, it's amazing how much we throw away. Soon, i started taking some donuts and bagels home, my brothers used to love eating it all the time. Even after some of the food home so it wont go to waste, it still fills up around 2 or 3 black trash bags each night. Man, i miss free loading on unhealthy food...
I'm going to print out this coupon, the starbucks around my way usually have only 2 flies at most. I'll give the pastry to someone i hate, like my sister in law.
medium half-calf for me and a banana nut bread - cheap for me...
Nice to see out of 10 folks, only 2 (myself being one of them) using a coupon. The other guy order two coffees but only had one coupon - should have printed two.
Supposedly (I guess there's an app) you can just show the coupon from your iPhone.

Yup - I once asked why (it was about 8-10 years ago - don't know if policy changed now) and it was company policy. You could not give them away or the franchise would get fined from HQ.
I would stop by with a soccer team on tuesdays nights after practice last few years. The local store would give us donuts with any drink purchase...

Hmm I always thought the donuts I bought at dunkin donuts were day old anyways. They always taste stale or like they been sitting a long time.
Seeing all these posts about bugs... makes me not want to go anymore.. I can honestly say I've never paid attention enough to catch the anything in the glass case...

Yea they are little fruit flies or something. I seen them in the mall location and store locations.

Got a chocolate croissant with a peppermint hot chocolate. I just mentioned the offer; no coupon needed. In fact, they were even openly asking people if they want a free pastry
