Due to or for? What do you think?
Which one is correct?
"You know, Starbucks is famous (DUE TO/ FOR) its coffee, but I love its pastries."
Is there a right way that say this phrase or both can be used?
Thanks in advance.

Both are correct, but "for" fits this situation better. "Famous for/known for" are idiomatic phrases that are used much more than "famous due to/known due to". But again, they both work just fine.
I discuss the uses of "due" here:

Due to is correct here. It means "caused by."
"Due for" means something is expected - The car is due for some routine maintenance.
