Celebrate The Year of the Rat With Starbucks

Hi Huneybees,

It's a brand new year and as we enter a new year of new possibilities, Starbucks welcomes the season with comforting beverages, a refreshed breakfast menu and exclusive merchandise fit for festive celebration this Year of the Rat.

Back by popular demand, the Starbucks® Okinawa Brown Sugar Latte returns to energize you for the day ahead; the Starbucks® Pure Matcha Latte and the all-new Starbucks® Black Sesame Pure Matcha Latte with Taro Foam will mesmerize you with its rich intensity. That's what I'm sipping on as I write this post, I'm loving the combination of the slight sweetness in taro, that elevates the fragrance from the matcha latte. 

Starbucks has also added to its suite of customizable drink options with Oatly – another dairy-free alternative for all! If you are a Starbucks member, check out the free customization reward in your app. 😋

To motivate a good start to the day, Starbucks has some new additions to their breakfast sets, such as the Truffle Scrambled Egg, Chicken, Kale & Cheese Wrap or Chicken Ham, Wholemeal Bagel with Egg White, Chicken Ham & Tomato Wholemeal Bagel at $8.50 per set. Otherwise, indulge in the scrumptious Scrambled Egg & Turkey Ham Pita or Turkey Bacon, Spinach & Egg Panini for $7.50 per set. For customers who prefer a lighter meal, get your hands on the Ham & Cheese Toast for $6.50 per set.

*Each Starbucks Breakfast Set comes with a tall sized freshly brewed coffee. Starbucks Breakfast menu is carried at all outlets island wide and is available for all-day enjoyment, while stocks last. Starbucks Breakfast Sets are available till 11:30am on weekdays and 2:30pm on weekends and public

Enjoy these delights over the festive season as a refreshing breakfast or mid-day snack. Starbucks all-new Overnight Oats with Pomegranate, Apricot, Fruit & Nut Mix and assorted Yogurt Parfaits promise a smile on your face.

No matter the time of day, there is always room for dessert!

A Fresh New Beginning With Starbucks

Hi Huneybees,

GOOD MORNING HUNEYBEES! I'm feeling super refreshed this morning, writing this article as I'm sipping on my coffee at Starbucks. If you have some time before work starts, do hop on over to a Starbucks near you to try out their 2018 beverages.

What I'm having now is their new Okinawa Brown Sugar Latte with Soya Mousse. Though it is made with the famed Okinawa brown sugar (made by slow cooking pure sugarcane juice), it is not overly sweet, just nice blending in with the signature Starbucks Espresso and the silky soya mousse. The drink is finished with a swirl of brown sugar drizzle and is available in either hot or iced version.

If you prefer something of the norm, the Salted Caramel Mocha Crumble has also returned. Mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup with coffee, milk, and ice are blended and then layered with a delicious combination of whipped cream and caramel sauce. The beverage is then topped with a delightful blend of turbinado sugar and sea salt for a perfect sweet and savory taste. It is available hot, iced or as a Frappuccino® beverage to suit your mood.

And if you have time, woke up early or happen to be working at Starbucks, why not tantalize your taste buds with their refreshed breakfast menu at Starbucks. Scrumptious yet affordable, with something for everyone, these new additions are perfect for when you’re on-the-go and will surely be the best start to your day.  

Say good morning to new breakfast options like the Four Cheese Toast, Speculoos Banana Toast, Peanut Butter & Jelly Toast – perfectly paired with a cup of freshly brewed coffee at $6.50 per set*.

Otherwise, indulge in a heartier start to the day and opt for the new Scrambled Egg, Sausage, Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Bowl or Breakfast Ham & Cheese Panwich or old favorites like the Rosemary Chicken with Emmental Cheese Croissant, Egg White, Roasted Pepper & Mushroom Wrap, Turkey Ham, Egg White & Cheddar Sandwich or Turkey Bacon, Tomato & Egg Croissant Bun, accompanied with brewed coffee for only $7.50*. If you prefer a lighter bite, take your pick from our range of other ala carte breakfast items including pancakes, bagels, croissants, oatmeal and yogurt parfaits.

*Each Starbucks Breakfast Set comes with a tall-sized freshly brewed coffee. Starbucks breakfast menu is carried at all outlets islandwide and is available for all-day enjoyment, while stocks last. The new Starbucks Breakfast Sets are available from store opening to 11:30am on weekdays and 2:30pm on weekends and public holidays.

Ok, time for me to go back to my work and check my emails. 

Have a great day my Huneybees!
