Starbucks McMuffin?

[elswinger]

I haven't been to a Starbucks in awhile (for no reson other than Tully's makes great milshakes and I now make my own coffee at work) so this is news to me:

Starbucks servers breakfast

Are any of the Seattle outlets serving these sandwiches and are they any good (compared to McDonalds, not a Tom Douglas-type restaurant).

As long as I can remember there have been sandwiches at Starbucks. [shrug]

The Sbux I frequent, at 4th and Seneca, has been serving the breakfast sandwiches for some time. I've had them a couple of times and they're very good, especially compared to Mickey D's. Apparently they're pre-made somewhere else and then put in their display case. If you order one, they nuke it for you. 3 or 4 different varieties as I recall. They're not cheap (can't recall the exact price) but they are tasty and substantial.

WS (admiral across from metropolitan market) has them too. haven't had them...but heard positive reports from others.

I haven't eaten one but I worked with a guy from Jan 2004 - June 2004 who ate one almost every working day for breakfast. I think they were about $4 each or so.

They didn't look horrible or anything - I just don't love precooked eggs so I never got one.

Stopped in to get my quarterly coffee drink the other day and discovered that the 'Bucks at 23rd and Jackson now serves Top Pot donuts. I really don't know whether that makes me happy or sad...

Guy behind the counter says they've had them since mid-January and they're selling well.

Nice to hear that at least one SBUX has given up the inedible Schwartz Bros. pastries. I never understood why so many people would pay $2 for a croissant that was obviously 2 days old.

They still have all the other crap, but they've added three Top Pot donuts.

Top Pot Doughnuts are the only decent food item at Starbucks.

The hot breakfast sandwiches have just been introduced here in the DC area. I tried the "Florentine" and the one with ham and cheddar. Both were crispy on the outside, and warmed inside and most suprisingly the egg wasn't overcooked.

They were reasonably edible, not something I would go out of my way for, but if I needed something fast they're a decent option. They're not as well-contained as an egg McMuffin so be warned if you're scarfing it in the car.

Bumping up this thread - Starbucks' test of breakfast sandwiches must have been successful because several local stores are adding them to the menu and there have been several mentions in the news both TV and radio.

Some of the stores that have drive-thru service have signs up that say they will be open at 5 a.m. (obviously for commuters) for drive-thru breakfast service.

There is a sign next to the freeway (14) indicating the off-ramp to take to get to the Palmdale store that is just off the freeway. They don't miss a trick!
