Coming to Starbucks Near You!

Filed under: Blog— by joe @ 08:34:17 am

It turns out last week's project was perfectly timed from a marketing standpoint, as Starbucks is preparing to test-market French macarons in many of their stores. To believe the reviews, the macarons are decent if not great. They are, however, very reasonably priced. Whereas macarons in Paris can cost several dollars each, Starbucks will sell you a dozen for $10. Not half bad. Be warned, however, that they'll only be on sale from December 13th until Christmas.
