When the pull of a 50% off coupon from #starbuckscanada lures you, but you make yourself do your planned Saturday “chores” first (thrift shop donations and the recycle depot)…THEN you’ve earned the much-coveted iced banana bread matcha! 🍌💚😂😂😂 #TreatYourself #SummerDrinks #Refreshing #YUM

Sorry for less social media posts lately - our good reason for that is preparing for our first in-person accreditation survey by CARF since 2017! We’ve had them every 3 years since 2005, so this is our 8th survey demonstrating commitment to high standards within our sector. 🤩👍 #Accreditation #CARF
