I haven’t had a single good Starbucks experience. The biggest thing for me is that they aren’t even cheaper than a local shop. I’m sacrificing quality for what, the “convenience” of using an app to order?
There was a point in time where their breakfast egg muffin sandwich type things were imo, pretty darn tasty, and reasonably priced.
… That was around a decade ago, iirc.
I’ve not been to an SBUX in a long time, but that decade ago, they were actually making them or at least heating them in a toaster oven, not microwave, at least when I was physically inside the store.
The only food item I moderately liked there was the sous vide egg bites, and even those have gone through enshittification now, costing more and tasting worse.

In perhaps undue fairness to Starbucks:
