My cousin was at the World a few weeks ago, and visited the Main Street Starbucks. FWIW, he said that the Starbucks logo was very subtle, and the Bakery still had lots of goodies to offer. And now it also has good coffee. 
I'm off to visit the World myself - I'm leaving tomorrow! I'm not much on trip reports and seldom take pictures anymore, but I'll give a brief recap of my visit when I return.

This is true, but most of them are Starbucks products.My cousin was at the World a few weeks ago, and visited the Main Street Starbucks. FWIW, he said that the Starbucks logo was very subtle, and the Bakery still had lots of goodies to offer. And now it also has good coffee.
The cupcakes in the bottom left corner of the top photo are the only non-Starbucks products (possibly the brownies next to them too, not totally sure). I'm happy that we can get good coffee but was surprised and disappointed by what they did to the food selection.
Totally agree with you about the coffee being good though.

Outside companies and sponsorships come and go over time. It's just the state of business today. I wouldn't worry about it too much tho, it's a pretty small thing in the grand scheme. Now if they'd only sponsor an attraction .. Maybe JIYI, so people could stay awake ..

How do the Starbucks cookies and breads and things compare to "Disney" breads and cookies?
It had been many, many years since I had anything from the Main Street Bakery. Last Disney bread I had was a cinnamon bun from Gaston's Tavern and I was very underwhelmed. Think grocery store cinnamon loaf bread with a thin splattering of icing on top.

I am thrilled to have a Starbucks on Main St. (and Epcot)- as I can finally get a decent breakfast sandwich at the parks! \o/
And I love my frappachino too.

Starbucks is an evil huge corporation, it doesn't belong in a small family company like Disney that has never previously allowed other big businesses into their parks.This is true, but most of them are Starbucks products.

I love the Starbuck's treats. my favorite is the lemon loaf with the white icing on top. Always moist and sweet. And I also just tried to cake pop trio on my last trip. Well, my little cousin snatched my chocolate cake pop but the white cake and the white lemon (the pink and yellow ones shown in the picture) were fantastic.
I have to admit that as much as I love treats, I didn't get to eat a lot at the bakery. You get really full with those dining plans and the snacks I use always end up being popcorn and fries, lol.

Really? I'm pretty sure I didn't say that in my post, but ooooooookay.For the record, I'm a fan of Starbucks in the parks and have defended the decision to bring them to Disney in every other thread about the topic. I was just surprised at the food selection.

Doesn't everyone realize that Disney is saving everyone from one of the worst Theme Park curses that ever existed. Don't let this out, but, I have heard that occasionally, if you look really carefully you will see (excuse me) obese people in the parks. They are universally hated and looked upon as pond scum. If you don't want to be one of those unfortunate objects of scorn and ridicule, stay away from those damn Cinnamon Rolls. Disney did that for your own good.You lie.
The long gone Cinnamon Roll was a BIG THING, a belly full.

And replacement Gourmet Hot Dogs and Cheeseburgers. Because it is healthy to dump cheese noodles and other crud atop of a meal already loaded in saturated fat. I'd take my Cinnamon Roll any day.

Am I the only one who remembers before Nestle took over everything (another big company) for coffee around the resort with its Nescafe, the coffee was Hills Bros.? They apparently had a relationship that went all the way back to Disneyland. It was good coffee.
As for companies coming in to WDW, there has always been some mixture of that. Carnation and other companies sponsored things like the ice cream parlor for years.
So, as long as it is done well, and keeps the theme, it can work; and was in keeping with what Walt Disney himself did.
I just want to make sure that they do it well, and keep with the theme.

And I can't imagine a future without Starbucks. Or Skinny Peppermint Mochas.

Me either.
I remember that and look what a cursory search found - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hills-Bros-...eyland-Walt-Disney-World-Resort-/181236749165
Also, remember the controversy when they went with Duncan Hills coffee?

Just to clarify, we are made because there is Starbucks signage missing. Prior to this opening, we were complaining that there would be Starbucks signage.
