Sperg about your Starbucks orders

[Valstrax]

It's practically a shared female experience to go to Starbucks at least once, so tell us what your favorite drinks are, the more detailed the receipt the better! Or maybe you prefer Second Cup or Tim Hortons, I dunno.

I almost always go for a frappuccino, or a latte during the colder seasons. I'm a fucking slut for their Sugar Cookie Oat Latte, but I haven't tried the frappuccino version yet. I'll probably update this when I do, I hope it's good!

Update: Ordered it, it's good but I think I prefer the hot version.

I just tried the ice sugar cookie latte this weekend! really liked it, its super sweet but i love when my coffee taste like candy so

my go to order is an iced chai latte with oat milk, and during the fall i'll get it with the pumpkin cold foam which makes it fucking slap tbh.
if i want a warm drink my go to is the caramel apple spice, its literally just steamed apple juice with cinnamon and caramel but its so good and comfy, probably my favorite starbucks drink ever.

also the brown sugar shaken espresso is also very good, i highly recommend that one as well
what can i say im a white girl through and through

Any recommendations for non-caffeinated drinks? Caffeine fucks me up. I accidentally ordered a refresher once, not knowing that "refresher" is a new trendy thing where you add caffeine to fruit juice. I'm just glad I didn't make the same mistake at a Panera and down their 390 mg of caffeine lemonade.

You can go for the 'Creme' frappuccinos, which iirc have no coffee in them or you can just ask if you can keep out the caffeine in a refresher. Honestly I had no idea they did, the Dragon Drink is one of my favourite non-coffee beverages there (and still is). I recommend the above with the Caramel Apple Spice though, that sounds good.

I like all the creme frappuccinos especially the caramel and the cake pops are really good. There are a couple of Starbucks near me that all unfortunately suck and will always be out of random things. I saw them completely run out of cups in the middle of the day once.

Iirc, the refreshers only contain caffeine if you order it with lemonade, which seems to be the standard. But I could be wrong on that. I’ve had them ask my ex boyfriend if he wanted his caffeinated or not before.
They also have hot chocolate, and bottled waters if you just feel like buying something.

Starbucks is the most worth it when they have their seasonal flavors out right now, imo.
It’s a treat for me, not an everyday thing. But it’s rather inexpensive compared to what some people indulge in.
I like the gingerbread, pumpkin spice, and peppermint mocha flavors. The cranberry bliss bars are pretty good.

I have so many cute family-owned coffee shops in my area so I will always choose them first, but I have a weakness for Starbucks canned coffees.
Delicious little sugar bomb, especially in a glass with ice!


I also like their Honey Citrus Mint tea aka Medicine Ball tea, it's also easy to replicate at home if you have the ingredients to do so. It's especially nice if you're feeling under the weather.

My favorite is the java chip frappuccino (RIP). I’m definitely a “I like my sugar with coffee and cream” person so I usually go for the frilly drinks. Add an extra espresso shot and it’s good to go. I would sometimes ask for a banana to be blended in. Another favorite add-on is raspberry syrup (also RIP, although it made a brief appearance a few months ago)

Since we’re now in winter / Christmas season, the white chocolate peppermint mocha, extra hot is my current order

Pumpkin spice latte is based, don't let a bunch of retards (men) shame you out of trying it.

I always get a Maple Hazel by Costa when the season comes around.

Just noticed they have the Butter Pecan Cookie flavoured latte out, which sounds divine, will be getting that next.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Iced black coffee or iced matcha. Wanted to try those spicy refreshers last year, but my local one ran out of it. It's just tajin in fruit juice and tea, so whatever. If they have them, I also get a danish. They almost never have them.

It’s been a long time but I loved pumpkin spice lattes. The first thing I ever got was a chai latte, though and I thought it was the best thing ever at the time. It’s a good memory, I was by myself at the air port with a book, I felt so grown up.

I won't lie, I've had my fair bit of Pumpkin Spice Frappuccinos during the fall... as in that was primarily what I ordered because they taste delicious.

Bumping the thread because I just remembered this one secret menu item that I really liked back in the summer: The Dragonfruit Glow-Up! Just order a Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher with peach juice blend, ask to have it blended and finish it off with vanilla sweet cream cold foam. It's hard to explain, but it really tastes good.

I ordered 5 dead bees, preferably their cause of death being swatted. from my local Starbucks. I did not get said bees. I told the manager and I got a fine.

chai latte

What does it actually taste like? I somehow never managed to try it and see boxes of the stuff in the tea section at stores.

It's not just cinnamon tea, is it?

No, and I’m sure the Starbucks kind is a bastardized version anyway but it mostly tasted like cardamom to me.

It's got a bunch of masala spices in it, it's not good unless it's got milk and sugar IMO and then it's grand. Starbucks uses a chai flavored sugar syrup for the chai latte drink, but you can also get a chai teabag hot tea from them and try it. They use Twinings. The Twinings Ultra Chai teabag is the best one and you can buy it as the supermarket.

...huh. I don't remember feeling energized from the strawberry-dragonfruit, though.

I rarely go to Dunkin' Donuts fwiw, had no idea that's what "refreshers" are. They even have "energy" ones, which sounds like what you're talking about.

Really bizarre ngl.

 

[Soup Sammiches]

Do they sell tea and is it Yorkshire Gold and do they ACTUALLY boil the water first?... I'm not sure this is the right kind of sperg but here we are.

Pumpkin spice latte is pretty good. Had it for the first time recently. Mine was with almond milk and decaf. The iced matcha latte on the other hand, kinda sucks. It tastes so plain to my taste buds, I don't know why. I guess that's how it's supposed to be.

I haven't tried the different varieties of matcha drinks yet. I'm thinking of trying vanilla protein matcha or banana protein matcha. They sound a lot better to drink based off of flavor.
