Initially, Starbucks will start with three menu options; Belgian waffles, topped with blueberries, powdered sugar and syrup, baked French toast and quiche made with cage free eggs in spinach and Swiss and bacon and Swiss options.
The 78 Starbucks locations selected for the test run will be serving the brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 8am to 2pm.
