Starbucks has recently been moving towards a breakfast menu with healthier options, no doubt in an effort to boost lagging sales. In September,they added 6 menu items including a Baked Berry Stella, Apple Bran Muffin, Chewy Fruit & Nut Bar, Multigrain Roll with Spreads, Power Protein Plate with a cage-free hard-boiled egg, cheese, apples, grapes, and a whole-wheat bagel, and an Oatmeal cup with choice of dried Fruit, Nut Medley or Brown Sugar (they have been reviewed at Slashfood, which found the Fruit & Nut bar to be "the crown jewel of Starbucks' new offerings").

But, what I have been anticipating is the launch of the Starbucks Piadini breakfast sandwich, which will reportedly come on September 30, according to MarketWatch.

The Italian inspired, square-shaped, doughy, Starbucks Piadini sandwiches will feature artisan bread filled with either sausage, egg and cheese or portobello mushroom stuffed with spinach, creamy feta and ricotta cheese. They will cost $3.25."

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Piadini because I smell a food war brewing: Starbucks Piadini vs Dunkin Donuts Egg White Sandwiches - which tastes better and which has better nutrition facts ... coming tomorrow.
