The coupon came by email ... free pastry this morning until 10:30!
With purchase of a drink. No prob. My usual Americano is only about $2.00. :drinker:

Starbucks is promoting "Real food. Simply delicious". :flowerforyou:

BUTT (is where it goes!), there are a lot of fricken calories, fat & sugar in those "healthy" treats!

For example, here's the breakdown of my cinnamon chip scone w/icing:

470 cal, 69 carbs, 19 fat, prot 6, sugar 27, sodium 460. YIKES!!!! :sad:

    DOUBLE YIKES!!
    Good thing I don't care for Starbucks anyway. Will order a smoothie to be sociable in a group-but I don't do caffeine nor coffee and the two time I've tried some of the yummy looking treats, I was really disappointed-they look better than they taste! :drinker:

    They are putting out better food options, and I heard their spinach, feta egg wrap is deliciousness and not that bad in stats.

    Oh man! I used to work for Starbucks and boy, did I pack on the pounds during that stint. Cinnamon Chip Scones were my favorite AM pastry.

    What made it worse, is that if we didn't sell the AM pastries by noon, we would trash them...or they would go home with the employees (me). Yeah. Not the best situation to be in. Especially making your own drinks and adding as much syrups and whip cream as you want. :sick:
