More often than not, I start my day with a perfect cup of brewed coffee and something delicious to eat. Where else do I find myself having that perfect morning combination than at Starbucks. There are three Starbucks stores near my office, two along Roxas Boulevard (UN), and one at Robinsons Manila. I often visit the latter. But now, there's one more which opened recently.

Right now Starbucks Philippines opened a new heritage concept store at the J.P. Laurel Building along Roxas Boulevard, near the Diamond Hotel and the Ramon Magsaysay Building. It has a distinct 70's architectural look, which features and serves great tribute to former Philippine President Jose P. Laurel. It opens as early as 6:30am during weekdays and 7:30am during weekends, and closes at 1:30 am on Fridays and Saturdays and 12 am during the rest of the week.

Besides this exciting store opening, starting September 13, Starbucks will have these new yummy breakfast treats in their stores in Metro Manila and in stores nationwide. The first two will be
