Not Your Kuwait Starbucks

All the Starbucks in Seattle – there is one on every corner, and sometimes on TWO corners of the same crossroads – are tarted up for Christmas. They have special Christmas blend coffees, they have Peppermint Mocha and Gingerbread Latte, and they have all these adorable Christmas theme cups, and hot cups, for your home and for your car:

  1. Peppermint Mocha, now that is something i would like to try. I think they have it in Dubai.

    I soooo love that “Pass the cheer” slogan 😀

  3. Peppermint mocha definitely gets your attention, MP! I like it, but I can only drink a small; it is very strong.

    DV – I always ask – in Kuwait – if they can fix me a peppermint mocha or gingerbread latte just to see if maybe they can, but they always look at me sadly and say it isn’t possible. Some of the seasonal drinks really are fun. They could call it Winter drinks, or holiday drinks. And of course, you get your four shots.

  7. Ummm, Creme Brulee . . . ummmmm. Sounds heavenly! Have you tried the CoffeeMate Vanilla Caramel in your coffee? It is good, too. Hope all is well with you, Ananyah.
