Starbucks introduces new sandwiches that will be available in all their stores nationwide beginning August 9. This is to answer the demands of their loyal followers who wanted to extend coffee drinking to a more dining experience. There are 7 new sandwiches available while 3 of those will be offered on selected areas only.
Starbucks became part of the lives of those from the students, yuppies and professionals. For students, which once I was before aside from hanging out at the library or in the car park to study, Starbucks was one of my options whom I wanted a cool and quiet space where I do my reports projects and reviews while having a cup of my cafe latte or mocha frappe. But now that I am part of the working class, Starbucks remains in my system as a place where sometimes I set my meetings, hang out with friends or a place where I just want to have time for myself with my warm caramel macchiato or white chocolate mocha. Being a bread inclined person, sometimes I take lunch at Starbucks having Black Forest Ham with Egg and Cheese sandwich. And with the sandwiches they offer, maybe I can have more options to choose when I dine there.
I enjoyed the Grilled Ham and 3 Cheese of Starbucks but with their ultimate grilled cheese sandwich is sinfully inviting and delicious. The fillings include sliced Hungarian sausage with six types of cheeses: Feta, Cheddar, Provolone, Gruyere, Mozzarella, and Emmenthal on a roasted garlic and Italian herbed butter bread. It is best eaten when the fillings is hot so that you enjoy the gooey-ness of melted cheese every time you bite.
For a non-red meat eater, you might find this sandwich an option especially that it is healthier because it made of chicken breast filled with pesto mayo sauce and Shiitake mushroom. But you can still get the goodness of the melted Emmenthal and cheddar cheese melted along with the other fillings inside the grilled flat bread. I enjoyed this sandwich and it is beast with the basic black or zen iced tea of Starbucks.
This sandwich was blend of sweet, salty and sour flavor due to the caramelized onion covering the juicy beef brisket, then there’s the melted Emmenthal cheese that gives the salty taste and the distinctive sour taste of Dijon mustard all filled up inside the chewy and crusty ciabatta bread.
Another healthy vegetarian sandwich made of Mediterranean vegetables marinated in Italian spices in mild chili dressing on grilled flat bread. This reminds me of ratatouille sandwich that has carrots, basil, garlic, onions, zucchini, eggplant and bell peppers and it has a sour taste because of the tomato that is the main ingredient.
I called this sandwich a semi-thanksgiving day sandwich that is made of tender roasted moist chicken breast and pickle relish mixed in mayo mustard dressing, juicy sliced tomato, tasty slices of honey ham, cheese slices and greens on toasted flat cranberry bread. Instead of the usual turkey served in Thanksgiving that was stuffed with all the goodness like the pickle, cranberry, honey and others, Starbucks uses the roasted moist chicken breast to substitute the turkey meat but still has that tender sweet and sour taste that is best with my favorite caramel macchiato.
Another healthy sandwich that is made of mouthwatering tuna salad tossed with red and green apples, roasted chopped walnuts, crunchy celery in yogurt mayo dressing topped with hard-boiled eggs, served in a warm sweet raisin walnut bread. I enjoyed the name and so it’s the taste especially it has walnuts inside it along with the sweet taste of apples blended with the sour taste of mayo dressings.
I love tuna melt especially when it is in a moist and soft cibiatta bread, but Starbucks used rye bread instead to make it more healthy because it is rich in fiber while tuna is good for the hearth and brain. Topped with creamy melted mozzarella cheese, every bite of it is heaven with a warm cup of brewed coffee on stressful afternoon.
Among the seven (7) new sandwiches, Tuna Melt on Rye Bread,Tuna Waldorf on Raisin Walnut Bread and The Clubhouse are not available on Starbucks branches in Baguio, Boracay, Bacolod, Cebu, Cagayn de Oro, Davao, Iloilo and Naga. On August 15 and 16 from 12pm to 1pm, Starbucks will giving P50 off in all their new sandwiches making it P90 each so had a chance to grab one with your favorite beverages, I suggest to Black Sesame Seed Green Tea frappe that has calming effect while you enjoy your sandwich. You can also try Starbucks latest beverages like the Mint Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Beverage that has a that sweet minty taste that cools down your stressful afternoon or the Hazelnut Mocha Frappuccino Blended Beverage that gives you that coffee kick on a lazy afternoon.
