this was great! i loved it, but my family who don't really like sweet things for breakfast said it was just "good". i took it to work the next morning and all of my coworkers loved it! loved all the topping, it was the best part!

I quickly made this coffee cake yesterday morning for company, using ingredients that were in the house (save for the chopped pecans, which I picked up at the supermarket the day before). Both friends are rather discerning about food, and they both raved about the cake. One asked for a second serving, while the other commented that it was prepared just the way she likes it...with loads of crumbly topping! Just make sure to set the butter out the night before for ease of use. I will make this again and again.

I have never had this or any other cake/pastry at Starbucks, so I can't really compare it, but it was a simple recipe for coffee cake. I would probably suggest starting w/less butter for the topping and gradually add more as needed for the correct consistency...mine came out a little too "wet" because I put it al in at once, then again, I also melted the butter, maybe that's what the problem was? The cake wasn't very thick either, maybe use a smaller pan next time so it's not so flat. But the taste was great, and I love the topping, kinda crunchy, I only had chopped walnuts.
