The price blows my mind when you consider a cup of Starbucks coffee with tax is approaching $5 USD and if U get *ANYTHING* on the side, a small piece of sugary cake or whatnot, you can EASILY spend $10 or more. It's the same with DD/McDonald or any fast joints. Here you get a FULL breakfast/Lunch - AND much healthier. NO CONTEST.
