Coffee Connections: How Starbucks brewed love stories

By | What's New at Starbucks? | No Comments

Coffee Connections: How Starbucks brewed love stories 

Every day as Starbucks serves up the best-tasting coffee, wonderful moments and stories also brew within its stores as people from different walks of life gather and enjoy a good cup of coffee in the company of friends and family.

As Starbucks houses moments of human connection, it also becomes a witness to the deepest kind of connection – love. This Valentine’s Day, discover different kinds of love, some as heart-warming as a hot cup of coffee, some as sweet as your favorite desserts, and others that are stronger than any shot of espresso. 

Sweeter the second time around

Bringing out distinct flavors for your perfect brew sometimes takes time. Just like the perfect cup, sometimes love also needs a little time to brew to make it much sweeter.

Amelia & MarvinIn 2005, Amelia and Marvin ended an almost 2-year relationship. Amelia started focusing on her work, family and ministry service, spending most of her time at a local Starbucks. One day, she was surprised to find Marvin waiting for her inside the store. Despite being apart for more than a year, they both admitted that their feelings for each other remained the same. From that moment on, they rekindled their romance, tied the knot and even had their pre-nuptial shoot at the place where their love story started anew – Starbucks. 

Unbreakable coffee connections

Coffee links us together in its own special way. It’s over sips of cold brews or slurps of blended Frappuccinos® that people make many memorable moments. For three lovely couples, the connections they made at Starbucks grew strong enough to withstand even the farthest of distances.Jaedel & JamesJaedel and James had been miles apart in the beginning. He lived in California while she stayed in Laguna, but when they finally met they knew it was something special. Jaedel was a mother of two, and as James embraced her children into his life, they bonded over Starbucks family dates. Eventually, the pair got married and had a child of their own and as their family grew, they continued to share even more family dates at the store.Franz & JenniferAnother love story rooted in coffee and tested by distance is that of Starbucks Store Manager and former partner (employee), Franz and Jennifer, who met in Starbucks Las Piñas where he was a seasonal hire and she was a shift supervisor. They had already felt a spark as they talked about growing up in the same city and province. Unfortunately, both were transferred to different stores and grew farther apart as she worked overseas. Realizing he had found true love and was not about to let her go, Franz continued to pursue Jennifer on social media. Just recently, the pair started a new chapter in their lives as they officially became husband and wife.

 A coffee journey simply well-brewed

Paula & JosephPaula and Joseph share a story with a sweet and uncomplicated beginning. After being introduced to each other by friends, Joseph began to woo Paula. Every day, he would pick her up from work and take her to the nearest Starbucks store to talk and get to know each other. Now, years later, they are happily married and have started a family and their own Starbucks traditions, spending Christmas and New Year at the store where it all began.Rhoalyn & GeoFor Rhoalyn and Geo, Starbucks didn’t just hold the memories of yesterday but also the plans of tomorrow. As frequent customers at the branch in Alpap-Leviste, the pair had spent many days imagining their lives together, sitting down and planning for the future. It was in this space that many of their milestones began as dreams and slowly turned into realities.

These romances are just some of the hundreds of stories that occur within hundreds of Starbucks stores every day. So the next time you find yourself at Starbucks, stop, sit and watch as different stories of love and beautiful moments unravel around you.

 About Starbucks Philippines

December 4, 1997, the Philippines had its first taste of the Starbucks Experience with its very first branch at the 6750 Ayala Building in Makati City. Starbucks has since won the hearts of the Filipinos. The opening of the 6750 Ayala store marked an important milestone in our history – the Philippines became the third market to open outside North America. The tradition of warm hospitality, constant need for connection, and love for coffee – these are the qualities that make Starbucks Coffee and the Filipino people a great culture fit.

Srilankrew

By | Sri Lanka | One Comment

So happy to Escape @rustansph @rafenewyork with #srilankrew #nisekrew #morokrew This is our third year of travelling together 🙂

Our one and only 🙂 precious drone shot by Chut @chutster  Thank you Chut for capturing this moment – in our home in Tea Country @amayalangdale !! Thinking always about Sri Lanka and how beautiful they have maintained their country. You go to the tourist sights and it’s not commercialized with vendors. You go to tea country and it’s so full of nature – no billboards, no pollution. Missing #srilankrew but looking forward to our next adventure #srilankainstyl

 There are families that travel and bond….there are friends that travel and bond…and become family according to Buddha right Tin @tincmoreno ? #srilankrew#srilankainstyle #h2hquotes

Thank you to the “flaneur” of the group – the mastermind of our beautiful trip to Sri Lanka #srilankrew What an exotic and amazing country to visit  #h2hpeopleSrilankrew (8) So happy Tina @tinatimeofficial made it this time! She was at #Nisekrew but missed #Morokrew. She almost missed #Srilankrew but she made it!! She’s the ultimate jetsetter going all over the world for as fast as 24 hours per trip. She’s so much fun and so energetic – glad she’s with us  #h2hpeopleSrilankrew (11) Super love  this #nisekrew#morokrew #srilankrew Kai @kaisterprimo We both LOVE snacks 🙂 we LOVE our @harlanholden caminos, we both take photos of everything we eat and …… she buys everything i sell 🙂  She not only buys what I sell but she buys everything!! haha!!  I just follow her so i feel like I’m shopping too 🙂 #h2hpeopleSrilankrew (12) Our #srilankrew group is so diverse – each one has a contribution 🙂 Raj @7tri7 is our “sounds” guy and provides music  for our road trips, our celebrations and even meals. Super LOVE  his playlist – check it out in spotify  #h2hsongsSrilankrew (13) Super love this couple who are so easy to get along with. The gang will never be complete without them!  Steve is our in house photographer and just like me we don’t like being taken 🙂 He is such a simple, super nice and soft spoken guy. Cherina is our treasurer in the group and we all rely on her to make sure everyone is charged accordingly. She is the favorite subject of Steve because she’s so pretty and photogenic. We both LOVE flowers, we are the only 2 girls in the group that don’t drink 🙂 and I just adore her for who she is.   Srilankrew (7)Srilankrew (3) Twinning srilankrew in harlan holden caminosSrilankrew (9)Srilankrew twinningSrilankrew (2)
