Do you eat a lot at Starbucks?

I ask the question because I eat at Starbucks more than the average person (or so I believe). I passed by the Insular branch and borrowed their in-store binder that contains nutritional information of every food they serve in the store.

I noted down the calorie counts of food I regularly eat / or was curious to know the calorie count of. I tend to eat their bread products, sandwiches and cookies and stay away from their cakes. So the list below is incomplete, but it might reveal some interesting nuggets for you to consider.

I thought it was a shocker at how many calories some of these "vegetarian" and "whole grain" products have relative to things which have dairy, sugar, etc.. Labels can be deceptive.

I should double check that indeed a wholewheat croissant has more calories than the ham and cheese croissant.

It's so great that calorie counts need to be published in NY chain restos.

True that. I think the rule is the resto has to have at least X number of chains (5?) before they have to publish calorie counts

hi!
do you have the nutrition break down of the Gruyere sandwich?
I asked 2 different Starbucks branches for their "calorie book" but neither had the Gruyere sandwich in their list.
