A lackluster U.S. economy in the second quarter upended one impressive streak for coffee king Starbucks (SBUX) - Get Report .

Starbucks reported that same-store sales for the fiscal third quarter ended June 26 rose 4%, snapping a 25-quarter stretch of 5% growth or greater. Results also marked a steep slowdown from 7% same-store sales growth delivered in the preceding quarter.

On a call with analysts Thursday evening, Starbucks Founder and CEO Howard Schultz called the slowdown in the U.S. an "anomaly."

"The challenges across the current restaurant landscape have become increasingly intense over the last few quarters, finally impacting the high-end players and even top global brands like Starbucks," pointed out Deutsche Bank analyst Brett Levy in a note on Friday. 

The company may not be fully out the woods just yet either. Wrote RBC Capital Markets analyst David Palmer, "We remain confident [Starbucks'] Americas same-store sales growth will return to 5% in the fiscal fourth quarter, but difficult comparisons could mean a chance of another sub-5% comparable store sales [result] as early as the December quarter."

Starbucks' shares are currently down in 1% in pre-market trading to $57.

But the disappointment for Starbucks didn't stop with the U.S -- it pretty much extended everywhere else, too.

Net sales rose 7% from the prior year to $5.2 billion, falling shy of Wall Street estimates for $5.34 billion. Earnings, adjusted for one-time items, gained 17% year over year to 49 cents a share. The result was in line with analyst forecasts. By region, same-store sales in Starbucks Americas delivered a 4% same-store sales increase, below estimates for a 5.6% improvement.

Starbucks' latest results didn't exactly stand tall.

Europe notched a 1% same-store sales drop likely due to reduced tourism in key markets such as France in the wake of several high-profile terrorism incidents. Wall Street saw sales for Starbucks Europe rising 2.4%. Even China, where Starbucks continues to aggressively open new stores and expand its offerings, came up short relative to Wall Street expectations. Same-store sales in China increased 3%, shy of forecasts for a 4.4% gain.

Starbucks narrowed its full-year sales forecast to growth of 10% from over 10% previously. The company reiterated its full-year earnings forecast of $1.88 to $1.89 a share, excluding one-time items.  

Shares of Starbucks fell as much as 3% in pre-market trading on Friday. 

The dreary tone to Starbucks latest earnings mirrored that of rival Dunkin Brands Group (DNKN) - Get Report , which reported earlier on Thursday and missed analysts' sales expectations across the board.

At Dunkin' U.S., same-store sales rose 0.5%, falling shy of estimates for a 0.9% increase. Same-store sales for the division rose 2% in the first quarter. At Baskin-Robbins U.S. sales increased 0.6%. Wall Street estimated a 3.4% increase.

Meanwhile, Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins, respectively, saw 3.1% and 6.6% same-store sales drops overseas during the quarter. Both results badly missed analysts' expectations.
