STARBUCKS and YOU

Hi:)
How's your eating today?

Can you find any similarity between these movies?

The Devil Wears PRADA, I am SAM, and The Terminal

STARBUCKS appears on those movies!
In The Devil Wears PLADA, Miranda(Meryl Streep) who is Andy(Anne Hathaway)'s boss loves drinking skimmed Latte. The main charactor Sam(Sean Penn) is working at starbucks. There are starbucks as well where Victor(Tom Hanks) staying at the airport.
AND you'll find starbucks in the movie in another movie...

Have you ever been to starbucks? I hope you say YES because I've been working at starbucks for 4years. I am kind of "starbucks holic";) I
So I'm going to introduce something about starbucks which might be new for you today.


Do you have YOUR drink?

In starbucks, you can alter drink to suit your own preference. We call it "CUSTOMIZE" the drink. If you love whip cream, you can add whip cream on top of your drinks, or add espresso shot into your drink if you want to make it bitter. I'll tell you secrets of customize.
There are many kinds of customize which you can try it for FREE!!

*alter syrup
You can change syrup from original recipe to something you like.
For example, we put vanilla syrup to frappuccino, but you can change it to your own. caramel, almond, mocha, hazelnuts, mocha, white chocolate, chai...
I'll tell you some drink which I recommend. "White chocolate Frappuccino" In order to try this drink, order "caramel frappuccino" and ONLY you need to say is "change caramel syrup to white chocolate syrup, please" that's it! If you want something sweet, you'll love it.

*add sauce
You can add caramel or chocolate sauce on the top of your drink. Almost everyone dosen't know it that it is free customize as well. You can try it to ANY drink; Coffee, Latte, mocha, frapccino, tea etc... If you make cafe latte a bit sweeter, you can add caramel sauce on it. You'll feel something different.

*4 types of milk
Do you know you can customize MILK itself? may be you'll say "Yes of course!"
So...how about frappccino? "What? is it possible?" I can hear your voice like that.
YES!! We'll serve your frappuccino if you want to change the base of milk. We have four kinds of milk; original milk, low-fat milk, non-fat milk and soy milk(only soy milk cost 50yen though) Many people change milk to non-fat milk inorder to save calories. In case of fruppccino, many girls worry about the carolies, I can say that it's quite high, but if you change it to non-fat milk, you can reduce the carolies little bit. It's a good news for you, isn't it?


Have you ever seen the BLACK APRON?
Which colore does partners (we call "partner" to the stuffs) usually wear?
Most of you might visualize someone who wears GREEN APRON.
Do you know a few partner wears the black one? Someone who wears black apron is the specialist of COFFEE BEANS. If you work at starbucks, there are test for you about knowledge of coffee at once a year. In this test, you'll be asked the origin of coffee and the knowledge of starbucks coffee beans. Those who wears the black apron are successful candidates of this test. So, if you find someone who wears BLACK APRON, you can ask anything about COFFEE.

Usually, there are one black apron's partner for each store, but there is an ONLY store which every partner wears the black apron.

You can find this store at Shinjuku and if you go there, you'll meet someone you know...ME;)
I actually work at this store. Now you wonder if I passed the exam or not...Unfortunately, I acutually haven't took this test, but every partners who are working at this store can proudly serve a cup of coffee. If you go to this store, you can enjoy COFFEE which called "Coffee Press service"

We have kind of "bar" which serves only coffee and you can enjoy chatting with us. To be honest, I am the person who couldn't drink coffee until I started working at starbucks. however, I can drink it now. So don't worry about trying this coffee service even if you don't drink coffee usually. It's gonna be fun:)

Wanna try? Come to our store!!
