When I had my first taste of the Starbucks frap back in 2003, I admit I became addicted to it. A sheer desire in me wanted to taste all the drinks they offer, but in 2007, I realized that I was doing myself more harm than good when I read that coffee mixes not only have lots of sugar, its dairy contents can also contribute to weight gain. So in August of 2007, I said goodbye to Starbucks. This was the last thing I ordered: a cup of mocha frapuccino and one cinnamon roll.
The cinnamon roll actually was a last decision for me, at that time I was with my sister and we planned to stay in the store, so I thought I should order something else aside for the drink. Of all the breads and cakes for sale, this seemed to be reasonable - 55 pesos (a little over 1USD) for one cinnamon roll. It was big, soft, and yes, very delicious! I loved it a lot. Sadly, I already bid goodbye to Starbucks, so even this bread, I can no longer order.

You know, I am not a big Starbucks fan. I love coffee, but theres doesn't really do it for me : ). Great picture.
This made my mouth water....the best cinnamon bun I have ever had is called "cinnabun"....a chain here in America....
Why oh why do I torture myself so. I love your site.
I like the other cinnamon roll at Starbucks. It's reminiscent of Cinnzeo's cinnamon rolls, which I truly miss.
Why have you given up Starbucks?
