I stopped into the Starbucks in Paso Robles (sorry not so local) and they had recvd the Valencia Orange Cake today. I purchased it for $1.95 which I thought was a very good price. I loved the flavor and taste. It was a little too oily however as it contained 16g of fat and was a total of 290 calories. Definitely a treat I will purchase again just not healthy enough to consume regularly.

Enjoy!

stopped at campbell location since I was there, and they didn't have it--they

said it was up to each manager to order them if they thought they would sell.

Please someone tell me you found one in sunnyvale, mtn view, lost altos area!!!

I stopped at the Cupertino location at Wolfe and Homestead.

They did not have it today, but knew about it and actually had samples of it in

the back for the staff last week. They weren’t sure when it would get in, but

hopefully soon. If any of you are in the area, stop by and ask for it. The

more we bug them, the more likely they will be to get it!

I bought a few of them this morning at the Starbucks at De Anza and

Bollinger in Cupertino (by Trader Joe's).

I found them to be fairly tasty, but quite eggy and moist. My kids (6

and 2) weren't very impressed.

We were given one last week as a free sample, and my husband and I thought it

was very good. My two sons (4 year old is our celiac) were not overly impressed

and actually didn't eat more than a bite each. I thought it was very moist, but

it does see like more of a grown up type of cake. We tried to go yesterday

morning to support the first day of sales, and they were already sold out at the

Brentwood Starbucks. I didn't try any other stores because I had a 4 year old

and an almost 2 year old with me and didn't have the energy to trek all over

town looking for them. I'll definetly buy it again - I thought it was delicious

and a great price. Hope you can find it soon. I'll be curious to hear what you

think about it!

They have it at the Menlo Park Starbucks on Santa Cruz Ave, but they didn't have the wrappers on them. Also, they may have used the same tongs that they use for all baked goods to take it out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girl at Starbucks in Palo Alto tried to use the tongs to give me the one

sample cake (there should only be one on display unwrapped) and I asked her

about wrapped ones, and she got them out of a box right then for me (still

wrapped). You might mention to the Menlo Park manager that the treats are

wrapped for a reason and they shouldn't unwrap more than the display one....

I tried it. I don't really care for it because I'm not a big fruit cake fan, but

I wanted to see. The Starbucks by my work in the financial district had them in

a separate basket, all in their wrappers. That's really dumb that some places

are unwrapping them.

Found them at Mtn. View location at Cuesta and Miramonte! So happy this

morning!
