Praying for The Louisiana People and ALL who are in the path of Hurricane Ida....Stay Safe and Strong! As for Starbucks....Have never had anything from there. heard is was very pricey and I only have a coffee or two in the mornings and I like mine instant and strong! Rest of the day is water! Gave up soda years ago! Best Move Ever......Cheers From Ohio
I enjoyed this video, but I especially enjoyed your shoutout to those in Louisiana and the gulf coast regarding hurricane Ida. They’re going through a horrible time right now, so that was very nice of you to have them in your thoughts as they are in our thoughts here in South Florida and everywhere else in this country. That was very kind of you!! 😎👍👍👍👍
Everyone I know who is truly a coffee lover avoids the hyper-sweet, high-calorie Starbucks drinks. Certainly Starbucks was smart to create a bunch of drink recipes and learn to execute them with great precision (so the drink tastes exactly the same as the last time you got it). But more flavorful and stronger coffee drinks can be had elsewhere - and without all the sugar syrup, fruit flavorings, etc. It IS possible to order basic espresso drinks at Starbucks (without the flavorings and sugar), but Starbucks cafes mostly attract people looking for the sweet drinks.
Just watched this video and was reminded of your video of visiting Five Guys last year. In both cases, you remarked about how expensive the food was. I find this impressive in that I admire your frugality. Being careful with money is very important and many young people do not pay enough attention to this. très impressionnant.
My heart is out to Louisian and New Orleans right now. They're about to be pounded with a brutal hurricane. I wish the best for all of the people and animals in that area. Stay strong and go north!!!
Very beautiful view where you are. Not many people walking around. Starbucks, to me, is paying too much for a drink I can make at home. But, now you can say you have tried it. Thanks for taking us along with you. ✌️😎
When I go to Starbucks, usually after grocery shopping on Sunday morning, I'll get a blond roast, just coffee. Every single time they ask me what I want in it. I want some coffee, not a dessert! I mostly get it because it's convenient for me. And great to see you out and about Marie, I really enjoy your videos of your life in France. And tell Remy, nice work on the "Pepe Le Pew" moustache.
I'm glad that you are interested in all things American, and thank you for your concern about the approaching hurricane. But the traditional French diet is superior in all ways (except calorie count) to the standard American diet. Stick with French Roast.
Ma famille vient du pays cajun en Louisiane. Nous sommes forts, nous avons deja combattu des ouragans. nous avons ceci. Merci beaucoup pour vos gentils mots et pensees. Mon francais cest horrible s'il vous plait pardonnez ca!
LOVE seeing the CITY and you OUTSIDE. Like you most people have one or two favorites fancy drinks at Starbucks, and are careful to spend not too much money (it's more of an indulgence). We still drink a LOT of COFFEE at home (whatever brand that happens to be). Jesus Bless you and your family.
In the Seattle area, the headquarters of Starbucks, a grande (16 ounce/437 ml) Pumpkin Spice Latte goes for around USD 6.00 including sales tax. I didn't see the drinks you ordered on the menu. Of course, I'm a bad person to ask as I am not a coffee drinker. This is unusual in the area as most people drink coffee. Some people will buy at least one or two coffees a day.
First of all, thank you for the kind words of support for the people of Louisianna. Mississippi is also in the direct line of fire as well. As for Starbucks, yuk...
The display cases look the same in the US. And it's not surprising that you thought the drinks were too sweet... I think the whole world uses less sugar than America! 😅 But it looked like a beautiful day to be out and about! 🤗💖👌🏻
No it is not worth it.. just stay home and drink your preferred coffee! it will be cheaper. Love the video, in the middle of a hurricane now I still have power to watch Miss Marie.......:-)
Love your channel and I hope to visit France one day. Looks beautiful. One question though, why did your friend smell the straw before he tried his drink? 😉
"Tour" is a difficult city to find anything about. When a good friend was staying there, I tried to google things about the city, but ended up having to change how I worded my search; every time. You would think that after the first time I would have learned. 😂 As a tourist, I would go to a local coffee shop. That is what I do here. Thank you for the video. I am glad you got out for a bit.
As an old guy, the only thing I like at Starbucks is Pike Place with cream. As I recall, medium is around $2.65. I only buy it when I'm on the road. It's convenient, better than hotel coffee, and good on the highway, especially in cold weather.
Tours looks beautiful. I haven’t been to Starbucks for years. They used to have one in Cardiff in Wales that was inside a large book shop (which has now closed). It was good to spend time there, reading magazines and books and drinking coffee. But there are a lot of coffee shops in the UK that aren’t Starbucks - Costa Coffee is one I go to quite often. They have over 2,500 coffee shops in the UK.
Y'all nailed it, too expensive and too much sugar. I bet a cup of coffee at a local Cafe would be 10x better. Glad you were able to get out for a little bit. Pray for LA and MS.
I used to get caramel frappucino and white chocolate mocha, but I haven't been to Starbucks in years. As you said, it is rather expensive, and even though it was a nice treat every now and then, I found it unnecessary to drink Starbucks every day. Actually I am not a coffee drinker so I'm not missing out on much.
I've never liked Starbucks coffee; in fact I hate it. It tastes like coffee made with battery acid. It's either super acidic or super sweet depending on what you buy. French cafes and restaurants have the best tasting expresso I've ever had and I drink a lot of coffee (usually 3 cups a day).
The only time I go to Starbucks is when I'm bored and can't think of anything to do. I get a Venti, Java Chip Frappuccino with a double hit of espresso. By the time I get that finished I more then likely started on several projects and have enough energy to last way into the night. They are very sweet and pricey but they are packed full of energy and it's sometimes difficult to stop talking, even if there's no one is around. The straws there look different then ours but yours would work much better in a Java Chip then ours does. Thank you for a very cool video and a quick look around France!
Thanks for your honest opinion. In my area there are very few Starbuck outlets. I do, however, buy Starbuck coffee at my local supermarket. I find the cost comparable to Dunkin Donuts which is probably the most popular coffee in our part of the country. The dark roast coffees are my favorite. They are the only type of coffee I drink at home. Cheers, Steve
Bonjour d'Australie Marie! Je suis vraiment heureux de vous entendre et votre ami parler en francais! C'est tellement agreable! Et la ville a l'air tres jolie! :) Mmmm I am not a big fan of Starbucks. However, for a Large size drink in Australia, I believe the prices range from AUD $5.50 - 8.50 (EUR 3.40 - 5.30) depending on what it is. A plain coffee (un cafe au lait ou un cafe noir) is less expensive ($5.50) while a specialty coffee, like yours, would be $8.50 A bientot! :)
HELLO0O0O0O0O0O0 MISS MARIE🤗 Just give me a regular strong ☕ coffee and I'm fine👍 I'm not into flavor's.. On the go I usually stop at dunkin doughnuts👍👍 Nothing wrong with treating yourself once in awhile when Mr. Frenchtastic takes ya on a date😁 Take care🌻🌻🌻🌻
I’m from Florida, USA. And I totally agree with you. Way too much money for prepackaged snacks and the coffee isn’t worth the money either. Plus everything is way too sweet for my taste. I have friends in Louisiana, just north of Lake Pontchartrain. I’m praying for their safety and for everyone else in the path of that awful storm.
M - Don't waste your time or money visiting American chain outlets. Their only advantages are convenience and (usually) consistency. Take us to popular local establishments!
Recently I’ve been thinking about the La Marseillaise, national anthem of France 🇫🇷 the text “Qu'un sang impur Abreuve nos sillons !” Means killing someone and let the blood water our furrows .? Isn’t that violent text. And “Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !” Is just as violent it means cut the throat of your sons your women . But it’s a nice anthem 👍I love the song and the music , so powerful . But France isn’t at war . But the anthem makes you want to go to war 🤣 I think it was made when the declaration of war by France against Austria in 1792 by a person called Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle. Thanks Marie for showing us around and visit Starbucks 😍👍🙏
Another complaint I have vis-a-vis Ameican junk food places in France is that the first time I was in Paris and went to the visit the Louvre I saw the McDonalds. I was so upset at this abomination being put inside instead of a French eating establishment. To this day I still dumbstruck that there is no French cafe there to eat at.
Hey girl I like you guys reactions so much because of your honesty. Personally I think star bucks is ridiculous high and their coffee’s not that great some of their drinks are ok but not for me
Not much of a coffee drinker, but it is Black Rifle Coffee Company for me at home, or a local coffee shop. Not big on the chain coffee shops like Starbucks, Caribou coffee, or Dunkin'.
I agree! Some friends of ours traveled to Italy and was there for almost a month. They said the coffee was so good that they just couldn't think about drinking any coffee in the States! They found a distributor in Ohio (they live in Michigan) and it was the same wonderful coffee they had while overseas! And he's learned how to brew coffee as well as any barrista!
In my opinion Starbucks makes spectacularly awful and overpriced coffee drinks. For mass produced coffee I personally prefer Lavazza. I am pleased you were able to get out and enjoy some time together. Nice to kind of get back to somewhat "normal" after being robbed of close to two years of our lives. Take good care, Marie! Hoping the week treats you very well.
Brandon! Thank you SO much for your paypal donation!! 😭🥺I'm really grateful!! Yes, yesterday really felt weird to be able to walk and take a coffee like this... but it was so nice! I'm so happy to think it's back to normal again.
I am a plain coffee drinker, Little bit if milk and sugar, for the price of two plain coffee's there, at starbucks, I can buy a 2 lb can, 711g of coffee, that I like and make, about 30 pots, of 12 cup pot. Now I do go crazy sometimes and buy a pound of Jamaica Blue mountain coffee. About $65. to $100. a US LB. It is so good.
For the price and taste, I only shopped in Starbucks one time in 1995. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I would never care to do again. Coffee is so much cheaper and better tasting at home.
Bonjour Marie! I cannot stand the flavor of coffee (I do like the aroma,) so I've never had more than a sip or 2 of different types just to try them. I've never had an actual cup, mug, glass, or whatever of coffee in my life. As such, I'm not a Starbucks person. I have tried some of their other drinks, and some of their foods. Meh. Other places do each of the other drinks and foods that Starbucks carries better than Starbucks does, so why bother? I'm glad that you got to go out and gave this a shot, and shared with us. Prayers for the people in the path of the Hurricane. Pensées et prières! ~Be Blessed
I have friends who love this, Mary not for me, I think its just a brand and not a good one, on another note - great to see you out and about...........🦄🦄🦄
I only go to Starbucks around Christmas time for the Peppermint Mocha or their Peppermint Hot Chocolate. Sweet and minty is good. I've been all around the world having been in the Military for 20 years, and I will say before you go to the States to visit be prepared for foods to be richer, sweeter, and larger portions than you are used to. When Christmas season comes try the Peppermint Mocha or their Peppermint Hot Chocolate.
Just a comment on your sugar comment... back in 1979, I had a horrible toothache. I had no insurance and no money, so I called the office of a dentist father of a friend of mine. He said come on in. It was a very very long drive, and when I got there he said we need to put you in college! Schools and I have never been good friends, but I figured it was requisite. He did all the tooth work I needed and sent me to a prestigious private college! Back to the point, I haven't had to see a dentist since 1979!
The only thing worth getting at Starbucks as far as I am concerned is a Mocha Frappuccino and I gild the lily by getting a couple shots of espresso thrown in. 2 of those a day and I am good to go. Granted 30 of those a month and I'll probably be dead soon but hey life's trying to kill me anyway. Great video Marie.
They just set a Starbucks up in Colmar centre..what a waste of time, when there are so many great cafes in the centre…i don’t think they will be there long!
I don't drink alot of star bucks but I do often have fancy drinks like that in Canada at Tim Hortons and it is my understanding and what I do is eat some of the topping then I stir the rest into the drink it makes the drink taste better. You also won't have wasted all that creamy and chocolatey goodness at the end. Just a suggestion for if you ever try another drink like that again. Weather its hot or cold.
I prefer good, strong, black, coffee. I've found that the quality of the actual coffee at Starbuck's is garbage. They just cover it up with sugar, flavored syrup, and, whipped cream. I've found, the best way to get good coffee, is to buy quality roasted beans,grind it yourself, and, make it at home.
Aloha Marie 🤙🤙🤙 Truth be told, I'm not a fan of Starbucks anymore. There are smaller local coffee shops that are better & cheaper in price! Now a days "Boba" is the current drink to get!
Hahaha this was funny. First, I am NOT a coffee drinker so I have that bias, but I have always thought that Starbucks was overrated. I think people just buy into stuff way to easily now a days. It's like the story of the Emperors New Clothes. In case you don't know that one, it's where this Emperor hires this really famous clothes designer to fashion him new clothes. So this guy told the Emperor that he had the finest cloth there ever was and that the cloth was invisible to anyone who was immoral and unfit to serve the Kingdom. So of course everyone hearing this said nothing when they saw that the Emperor was naked. Until he took a walk down the street and a small child asked why the Emperor was naked. This is how I see Starbuck, someone said "Oh you have to go to this coffee place, the coffee there is Amazing!!! and so everyone just began to accept that the coffee at Starbuck was really good, because no one wanted to be the first to admit that they were paying $6.00 for a cup of coffee you could make at home for $0.75.
There's gotta be somewhere in Paris you could get a nice cheap Vietnamese ice coffee. They usually have dairy in it though if that's an issue. Maybe you could find a vegan vegetalien ice coffee?
I"m NOT really a coffee drinker ......but really enjoyed the hour or so I used to spend at my local Starbucks , to sit and kibitz with my friends about sports and world affairs ....It wasn;t as much about the coffee [ which is good tho ] , as about the socialization ..
If I ever get to France I will never go near a Starbucks. I can get that here in Toronto, Canada whenever I want. I would be going to the real cafés. A friend of mine who lives in France says Starbuck's coffee is "eau de chausettes". :)
Personally I would much rather have coffee in a French cafe then a Starbucks so it really depends on the person's background. We can't get a French cafe here so we rely on things like Starbucks. And you made a very good choice not to go with the food because they're not known for the food they're known for their fancy coffee drinks.
The coffe i drink 10 cups every day ! the best tasting one for me is the french roast i m not kidding it s the best on the planet i m a trucker ! i know coffee !! LoL coffee is good for you !
At least they got your names on the cups right,I tell them my name is John they write Jake or Josh on the cup.. The French standard for cakes & Pastry is believed to be nothing less than perfect,Starbucks food is not only overpriced it's days old,tasteless and stale. You can find better coffee at most mid west America truck stops,truck stop diner food is good tasting will clog the arteries 🍗🍩☕
Greetings from Scotland! Wise choice to stay away from the food there Marie! I think their drinks/food is very overpriced and full of sugary taste. I prefer COSTA Coffee (free advert there!) In France, good old fashioned "normal" coffee with hot milk is my absolute favourite drink! Add a pain au chocolat or a croissant and life cannot get better! My favourite pastime is to sit outside any Cafe and watch the world go by with a coffee and a pastry. Preferably without the noisy car entertainment! 💥💥💥 Thank you for letting me spend some time in France with you (virtually) again Marie! I will be visiting as soon as it is practical to do so! Have a great week! --------------- Salutations d'Ecosse! Choix judicieux de rester à l'écart de la nourriture là-bas Marie! Je pense que leurs boissons / nourriture sont très chères et pleines de goût sucré. Je préfère le COSTA Coffee (annonce gratuite là-bas !) En France, le bon café "normal" à l'ancienne avec du lait chaud est ma boisson préférée ! Ajoutez un pain au chocolat ou un croissant et la vie ne peut pas s'améliorer ! Mon passe-temps préféré est de m'asseoir à l'extérieur de n'importe quel café et de regarder le monde passer avec un café et une pâtisserie. De préférence sans le divertissement bruyant de la voiture ! 💥💥💥 Merci de m'avoir permis de passer à nouveau du temps en France avec toi (virtuellement) Marie ! Je visiterai dès qu'il sera pratique de le faire! Passe une bonne semaine!
+frenchtastic77 *Espresso and cappuccino are a Northern Italian thing transplanted to California, USA,* where Alfred Peet, a master roaster from the Netherlands, set up a coffee roastery in Berkeley. Fun fact: Starbucks Corporation's (Seattle, WA, USA) founders apprenticed under Peet.
Hi Marie, nice to see you out enjoying the day. I am not a fan of Starbucks. To expensive and the company is not a supporter of our police and military. I wouldn't spend a dime there
I can not tell you how much it cost for a cup of Starbucks near where I live, because I do not drink coffee. But if you want my thoughts on what you should do. Buy the beans that you like and make your own coffee along with what ever you would like, to add in it, and save yourself a lot of money over time.
Oh non ! Marie et Rémy, vous buvez tous les deux votre dessert ! 🤣 Que dire ? Je suis très vieux jeu ! 🤗😎 Donnez-moi du café à la française, de l’eau chaude et la capture française et je suis prêt à partir ! 👍🥰 -------------- Oh no ! Marie and Rémy, you’re both drinking your dessert! 🤣 What can I say? I am old school ! 🤗😎 Give me some fresh French roast coffee, hot water and a French press and I'm good to go! 👍🥰
I only drink Starbucks about once a year because it is expensive. I always get a tall white chocolate mocha that costs $4.50 U.S. American dollars. I don't know how much that would be in European money.
I’ve only been to a Starbucks once, and as I like my coffee black with just a little sugar, I never saw a reason to go back. Even a plain coffee was too expensive, and was too strong and bitter for my taste. My oldest granddaughters go frequently, I’d advise them to put the money in the bank instead. I’d rather go to a no brand name bakery, and get a coffee and a small pastry or piece of pie.
I prefer to visit the smaller family-owned coffee shops that the big chain ones like Starbucks.
Yessss... and me too...
Starbucks when translated means everything is overpriced and is ok at best.
YES!
😮😮😮

I thought it was, “REALLY. You’re paying that much for coffee?”
Praying for The Louisiana People and ALL who are in the path of Hurricane Ida....Stay Safe and Strong! As for Starbucks....Have never had anything from there. heard is was very pricey and I only have a coffee or two in the mornings and I like mine instant and strong! Rest of the day is water!

Thank you for sharing your experience Marie. I'm not a fan of Starbucks but that's just me. I hope you are well and had a nice trip to Tours 😁
Your boyfriend's tasting notes are so delightfully French, it made me smile. I have to remember that one about musical notes for my own reviews.

Everybody who can please support Marie on her Patreon. Let's all help as much as we can so we can continue to enjoy her videos.
On the plus side, the view from that Starbucks is better than 99.99% of the Starbucks in the US.❤️🇫🇷
Some old guy in California absolutely adores you, Marie!
I'm glad that you are interested in all things American, and thank you for your concern about the approaching hurricane. But the traditional French diet is superior in all ways (except calorie count) to the standard American diet. Stick with French Roast.

You have a nice town Marie. Starbucks is to expensive. Stay well.
Not much of a coffee drinker, but it is Black Rifle Coffee Company for me at home, or a local coffee shop.

I have no idea how Starbucks can stay in business in France when you can get a superb coffee in any café for two euros. And fresh croissant.
I agree! Some friends of ours traveled to Italy and was there for almost a month. They said the coffee was so good that they just couldn't think about drinking any coffee in the States!

Now I do go crazy sometimes and buy a pound of Jamaica Blue mountain coffee. About $65. to $100. a US LB. It is so good.
For the price and taste, I only shopped in Starbucks one time in 1995. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I would never care to do again. Coffee is so much cheaper and better tasting at home.
Bonjour Marie! I cannot stand the flavor of coffee (I do like the aroma,) so I've never had more than a sip or 2 of different types just to try them. I've never had an actual cup, mug, glass, or whatever of coffee in my life. As such, I'm not a Starbucks person. I have tried some of their other drinks, and some of their foods. Meh. Other places do each of the other drinks and foods that Starbucks carries better than Starbucks does, so why bother? I'm glad that you got to go out and gave this a shot, and shared with us. Prayers for the people in the path of the Hurricane. Pensées et prières! ~Be Blessed
I have friends who love this, Mary not for me, I think its just a brand and not a good one, on another note - great to see you out and about...........🦄🦄🦄
I only go to Starbucks around Christmas time for the Peppermint Mocha or their Peppermint Hot Chocolate. Sweet and minty is good. I've been all around the world having been in the Military for 20 years, and I will say before you go to the States to visit be prepared for foods to be richer, sweeter, and larger portions than you are used to. When Christmas season comes try the Peppermint Mocha or their Peppermint Hot Chocolate.
I rarely ever buy coffee specialty drinks. I'd much rather have my Folger's at home, possibly chased with a little alcohol.
Just a comment on your sugar comment... back in 1979, I had a horrible toothache. I had no insurance and no money, so I called the office of a dentist father of a friend of mine. He said come on in. It was a very very long drive, and when I got there he said we need to put you in college! Schools and I have never been good friends, but I figured it was requisite. He did all the tooth work I needed and sent me to a prestigious private college! Back to the point, I haven't had to see a dentist since 1979!
Me gustaron muchos las imágenes de la ciudad, una belleza.
The only thing worth getting at Starbucks as far as I am concerned is a Mocha Frappuccino
and I gild the lily by getting a couple shots of espresso thrown in. 2 of those a day and I am
good to go. Granted 30 of those a month and I'll probably be dead soon but hey life's trying to
kill me anyway. Great video Marie.
They just set a Starbucks up in Colmar centre..what a waste of time, when there are so many great cafes in the centre…i don’t think they will be there long!
Love this video Marie. That is a beautiful place and that drink looks delicious. That's my kind of a drink. I would love to visit there someday.
I usually pick-up a grande triple shot mocha coffee from the local Starbucks 2-3 times/week. It runs about $5.55 before taxes are added.
I don't drink alot of star bucks but I do often have fancy drinks like that in Canada at Tim Hortons and it is my understanding and what I do is eat some of the topping then I stir the rest into the drink it makes the drink taste better. You also won't have wasted all that creamy and chocolatey goodness at the end. Just a suggestion for if you ever try another drink like that again. Weather its hot or cold.
Strongly agree ... I can make much better at home and save a lot of money!
I agree with everyone here. Overpriced and way too sweet. Only thing I get there if I go is the iced chai tea latte. It is pretty good! :)
I prefer good, strong, black, coffee. I've found that the quality of the actual coffee at Starbuck's is garbage. They just cover it up with sugar, flavored syrup, and, whipped cream. I've found, the best way to get good coffee, is to buy quality roasted beans,grind it yourself, and, make it at home.
Aloha Marie 🤙🤙🤙
Truth be told, I'm not a fan of Starbucks anymore. There are smaller local coffee shops that are better & cheaper in price! Now a days "Boba" is the current drink to get!
The lemon loaf is worthy
Hahaha this was funny. First, I am NOT a coffee drinker so I have that bias, but I have always thought that Starbucks was overrated. I think people just buy into stuff way to easily now a days. It's like the story of the Emperors New Clothes.
In case you don't know that one, it's where this Emperor hires this really famous clothes designer to fashion him new clothes. So this guy told the Emperor that he had the finest cloth there ever was and that the cloth was invisible to anyone who was immoral and unfit to serve the Kingdom. So of course everyone hearing this said nothing when they saw that the Emperor was naked. Until he took a walk down the street and a small child asked why the Emperor was naked.
This is how I see Starbuck, someone said "Oh you have to go to this coffee place, the coffee there is Amazing!!! and so everyone just began to accept that the coffee at Starbuck was really good, because no one wanted to be the first to admit that they were paying $6.00 for a cup of coffee you could make at home for $0.75.
There's gotta be somewhere in Paris you could get a nice cheap Vietnamese ice coffee. They usually have dairy in it though if that's an issue. Maybe you could find a vegan vegetalien ice coffee?
Too sweet for me. I get the regular coffee
I"m NOT really a coffee drinker ......but really enjoyed the hour or so I used to spend at my local Starbucks , to sit and kibitz with my friends about sports and world affairs ....It wasn;t as much about the coffee [ which is good tho ] , as about the socialization ..
If I ever get to France I will never go near a Starbucks. I can get that here in Toronto, Canada whenever I want. I would be going to the real cafés. A friend of mine who lives in France says Starbuck's coffee is "eau de chausettes". :)
I usually get a dark roast plain coffee. I try to stay under 20g of sugar a day; so, most of there stuff is too high in sugar.
Je préfère boire du café à la maison. Mais j'aime le Chai Tea Latte de Starbucks.
Personally I would much rather have coffee in a French cafe then a Starbucks so it really depends on the person's background. We can't get a French cafe here so we rely on things like Starbucks. And you made a very good choice not to go with the food because they're not known for the food they're known for their fancy coffee drinks.
They are different for each culture. It will be different there than in Oregon.
The coffe i drink 10 cups every day ! the best tasting one for me is the french roast i m not kidding it s the best on the planet i m a trucker ! i know coffee !! LoL coffee is good for you !
At least they got your names on the cups right,I tell them my name is John they write Jake or Josh on the cup..
The French standard for cakes & Pastry is believed to be nothing less than perfect,Starbucks food is not only overpriced it's days old,tasteless and stale.
You can find better coffee at most mid west America truck stops,truck stop diner food is good tasting will clog the arteries 🍗🍩☕
That's not coffee, that is candy in a coffee cup. Great video still.
Greetings from Scotland! Wise choice to stay away from the food there Marie! I think their drinks/food is very overpriced and full of sugary taste. I prefer COSTA Coffee (free advert there!) In France, good old fashioned "normal" coffee with hot milk is my absolute favourite drink! Add a pain au chocolat or a croissant and life cannot get better! My favourite pastime is to sit outside any Cafe and watch the world go by with a coffee and a pastry. Preferably without the noisy car entertainment! 💥💥💥 Thank you for letting me spend some time in France with you (virtually) again Marie! I will be visiting as soon as it is practical to do so! Have a great week!

Salutations d'Ecosse! Choix judicieux de rester à l'écart de la nourriture là-bas Marie! Je pense que leurs boissons / nourriture sont très chères et pleines de goût sucré. Je préfère le COSTA Coffee (annonce gratuite là-bas !) En France, le bon café "normal" à l'ancienne avec du lait chaud est ma boisson préférée ! Ajoutez un pain au chocolat ou un croissant et la vie ne peut pas s'améliorer ! Mon passe-temps préféré est de m'asseoir à l'extérieur de n'importe quel café et de regarder le monde passer avec un café et une pâtisserie. De préférence sans le divertissement bruyant de la voiture ! 💥💥💥 Merci de m'avoir permis de passer à nouveau du temps en France avec toi (virtuellement) Marie ! Je visiterai dès qu'il sera pratique de le faire! Passe une bonne semaine!
I had 1 cup of Starbucks, and I found out who and what the owners were, and that was my last.
Chi-tea late cold way better than any coffee.
+frenchtastic77 *Espresso and cappuccino are a Northern Italian thing transplanted to California, USA,* where Alfred Peet, a master roaster from the Netherlands, set up a coffee roastery in Berkeley. Fun fact: Starbucks Corporation's (Seattle, WA, USA) founders apprenticed under Peet.
Hi Marie, nice to see you out enjoying the day. I am not a fan of Starbucks. To expensive and the company is not a supporter of our police and military. I wouldn't spend a dime there
I like the monster brand better than starbucks. It's a little cheaper and taste better imo. My go to drink is the loca moca.
You need to come to the United States and try dunking donuts coffee much better than Starbucks and less expensive
I can not tell you how much it cost for a cup of Starbucks near where I live, because I do not drink coffee. But if you want my thoughts on what you should do. Buy the beans that you like and make your own coffee along with what ever you would like, to add in it, and save yourself a lot of money over time.
Oh non ! Marie et Rémy, vous buvez tous les deux votre dessert ! 🤣 Que dire ? Je suis très vieux jeu ! 🤗😎 Donnez-moi du café à la française, de l’eau chaude et la capture française et je suis prêt à partir ! 👍🥰

Oh no ! Marie and Rémy, you’re both drinking your dessert! 🤣 What can I say? I am old school ! 🤗😎 Give me some fresh French roast coffee, hot water and a French press and I'm good to go! 👍🥰
I just get a tall coffee when I go and add the sugar and half and half to taste. Much cheaper than all those add on flavors they have.
Yep !!! Way to sweet and Salty !! Like Most of our American food products way to much of everything !!!
We went back to the UK for a week and we couldn’t get a decent cup of coffee anywhere.,nowhere seriously. We are spoilt with our Spanish coffee.
I only drink Starbucks about once a year because it is expensive. I always get a tall white chocolate mocha that costs $4.50 U.S. American dollars. I don't know how much that would be in European money.
An American company that uses Italian language to order, visited in France by Marie and her husband 🤭
I’ve only been to a Starbucks once, and as I like my coffee black with just a little sugar, I never saw a reason to go back. Even a plain coffee was too expensive, and was too strong and bitter for my taste. My oldest granddaughters go frequently, I’d advise them to put the money in the bank instead. I’d rather go to a no brand name bakery, and get a coffee and a small pastry or piece of pie.
I don't much care for Star Bucks either . Too expensive for my taste . I prefer a straight espresso shot and star bucks cost too much .
Marie,t'es "so funny",qute jamais "ma" chérie!!! On like!!! 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ca sonne très mal... Oups!!! 😇
I live near Seattle, home of Starbucks. It isn't even worth it here.
They have excellent ice coffee at dunking donuts
