Completely slipped my mind.

It slipped my mind, it must have traumatized me, lol.
[livejournal.com profile] orcabee took me to Starbucks after lunch! In America for a month and I went into a Starbucks in New York. The Horror!!!!

Just kidding, it actually wasn't that bad... just tasteless.
I drink all my coffee (except בוץ) without sugar and it just seemed to have no taste whatsoever.
I had a latte, next time I am out of options and must enter a Starbucks I'll get a different taste, maybe it'll taste better.

Again, not that bad, but really... not that good.
Israeli coffee is way better.

Starbucks lattes are ALWAYS terrible. I enjoy the caramel frappuccinos (and frequently ask for an extra shot of espresso in it for more flavor & kick) and the macchiatos.

I was dreading Starbucks, because when they came to Israel (and folded after less than six months) they used the same coffee as they do in the States, which was crappy.
Israel is a coffee drinking culture, there are lots of coffee shops all over the place that serve really good coffee and Starbucks just really isn't up to the standard in Israel.
*shrug*

I've heard Israeli coffee is incredible. My boss is actually at a conference in Israel this week and we've all begged her to bring back coffee for us :)

I prefer the smaller coffeeshops in my city that have amazing tasting coffee and wonderful desserts. Starbucks is nice to fall back on because it's everywhere, but I'd rather have my tasty mochas with funny names from my local shop (my favorite is a Sugar Daddy, which is a mocha with butterscotch and caramel shots infused)

Tell him to bring from Ilan's or Lechem Erez (Erez's Bread).
They're the best, IMO.
