Starbucks

Coming home from my sister's volleyball tournament my family and I decided to stop by Starbucks Coffee for a quick snack and a coffee. Starbucks has been known for just having coffee on their menu's with a few snacks. But now they have expanded to have their own food menu to meet the needs of hungry coffee drinker's. I have never had any experience with any of Starbucks food items before. I was very surprised of the selection and decided to go with the Bacon, Gouda Cheese and Egg Frittata on a Artisan Roll. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and was pleased with the quality of the components on the sandwich.

The 380 calories in the sandwich seemed a little high for such a small portion of food. Their were 20 grams of fat, 175 mg of cholesterol, 1050 mg of sodium, and 31 grams of Carbohydrates. I wouldn't say that this sandwich is a healthy choice for a snack. The sandwich is at a reasonable price at $3.95 with a venti coffee. The ingredients were shipped from the distribution center in Seattle, Washington, to the distribution center in North Carolina. The distance between these two locations is about 2,400 miles. With the gas price at a average of $2.75 the price to ship these items by truck would cost about 1,000 dollars. The cost to ship these items are way to high in price, and there needs to be a way around this. The quality of the ingredients are fresh and nothing is processed. This sandwich was a quality snack that I would recommend.
