EATS: Starbucks ~ Greenbelt 3

For our first trip at the Greenbelt, we stopped by to get some drinks at Starbucks.

I got a Strawberry and Cream Frappuccino (No coffee, 'cuz I don't like it with coffee) while my mom and my sister got a Chocolate Chip Frappucino.

We also got our drinks with a Chocolate Glazed Doughnut (for me) and a Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie (for my sister).

It looked more high-quality in my phone. Sorry!

My frappuccino tasted really good at the start, until I found out that it didn't fully mix, so the strawberry syrup stayed to the bottom of my glass, leaving me with a less-fruity (and therefore less awesome) taste once I got to the middle of my drink. It was practically just milk and a faint taste of berry when I was at the middle. I got a great *burst* of fruit and milk goodness at the start of my drink, but not when I was halfway. Kinda like winter?

Strawberry to the left :D

For the doughnut, it tasted really creamy, but there wasn't enough chocolate. Or I'm just a hardcore chocolate lover. Who knows?

This is literally my second (if not my first) trip to Starbucks. So don't judge me as I judge their ambience.

The place was really comfy and gives off a nice, relaxed vibe to it. Christmas music was still playing (as this was experienced about two days before Christmas eve), and the smell of butter croissants baking in their kitchen delightfully gave me a grin on my face that was wiped off the exact time the strawberry syrup was wiped off out of my Frappuccino. The staff was very welcoming! Even the security guard occasionally comes in to the building and says "good morning"! No joke!

There Aren't Any Starbucks In Sweden (If there are though, they're really rare). They Have Their Own Chain Off Coffeehouses Called "Espresso House".

EATS: More Hemköp Pastries! {Bon Voyage, Stephanie!}

So another good friend of mine, Stephanie will go back to Canada after over one year of staying here in Stockholm. Long story short, she treated us with pastries from Hemköp, that supermarket I had two posts on.

Click here to see more of my thoughts about Hemköp's doughnuts, or here for my thoughts about their Danish Pastry. I am not getting paid by Hemköp, even though most of my "EATS" post comes from them. 

So we bought a chocolate muffin for me, a kind of carrot cake for Patricia, a soda for Linh and three doughnuts for Stephanie.

The muffin was tasteless, I admit. Can you see those little chunks / squares of chocolate above the muffin? Yeah, they were the only things that were good... The doughnuts seemed to be freshly baked, but in my opinion, the doughnuts should have been freshly baked and hot. (My sister ate one of the doughnuts, Stephanie had two... I can't exactly remember). Most of the pastries were priced at SEK 9, but I think the doughnuts were 3 for SEK 15 or SEK 25. 

Thank you Stephanie! I wish you a great life in Canada! As one of my favorite Youtubers Joey Graceffa would say it, may the odds be ever in your favor, goodbye!!
