Breakfast Babble: ED’s own little space on the interwebs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up for the day. We judge things too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in people.
When news came out that Starbucks would finally be opening in India all those years back, I was genuinely happy about it.
Having had coffee from Starbucks before while travelling out of the country, I had a good experience with them for the most part and felt that they would be a good addition for us coffee enthusiasts in India.
But after having gone at the various Delhi outlets over the years, I will fully and wholly take back my words and declare that Starbucks is totally worthless.
From the overpriced coffee, I mean over 250 rupees for a freaking medium-sized coffee to their just bad desserts and average sandwiches, everything are things I can get for much less at a smaller establishment and for a better quality.

The thing that really irritates though is the kind of drop in quality that I saw in Starbucks India, I mean, believe me, the coffee is nowhere as good as it was in New York or even Hong Kong.
Starbucks coffee is just plain bad, and I can get much better at the local Sagar Ratna than going all the way to Starbucks.
Also, something I am unable to understand is the kind of hype that I see people still give to Starbucks just because of the status brownie points it gives you.
I mean, a lot of the times it just feels that people want to utter the sentence ‘let’s go to Starbucks’ as if it will give them a very cool and hip image, when it really doesn’t warrant that.
At this point, Starbucks is just something that is too over-hyped and people really need to calm down of their excitement over it.
