Location: 4 King Street West (W. of Yonge), Toronto
Meal: late night coffee
My thoughts:
I'm sure that most of you have had a taste of Starbucks, and if not, then you are at the very least familiar with the name. So you may be wondering why I decided to blog about such a household name coffee chain? I normally only ever order Starbucks' coffee, and so tea and cupcakes were rather out of the ordinary for me, and I thought I'd blog about it and show off some pretty pictures :) Also, if you noticed the date, I did not stay overnight at Starbucks, lol. I simply had tea on October 14 and a coworker bought their cupcakes the next day, so I thought I'd group the entries together to keep everything organized.
Okay. On to the good stuff (literally). I forget the name of the tea that I had - I will have to check into a Starbucks the next opportunity I get to find out the name. It was mild in taste with a fruity note. Decaffeinated, so it is perfect to have in the evening and to warm you up from the blistering fall cold that has hit Toronto. Here's a pic of it (the one on the left was my drink).
On a different note, if you are ever in the downtown core looking for a coffee joint, I would recommend this Starbucks location. I used to frequent this location in my student days. I personally find this place super cozy, and I love the fact that it is spacious with ample windows so that you can witness all the hustle-bustle of Toronto without being a part of it.
Now for cupcakes. There were three flavours, but I only had the red velvet. I have always loved that flavour, so I may be biased. It wasn't overly sweet (points on that front!), bite-sized (perfect for those watching their waistline) and uber cute :) I have a pic of my cupcake, half-consumed unfortunately. It was much prettier in its original unadulterated state.
I was told the other cupcakes were very sweet, but good. The first of the next two photos shows a peanut butter cupcake (we were all surprised that they would even sell such a thing, given how many people out there are anaphylatic). My coworker said it tastes like a "more expensive, bready version of a Reese's Pieces", lol. The next one is carrot cake with vanilla icing.
