Is It *Really * Only Wednesday?
The week after a holiday.
{{Yawn}}
Well, then.
There's only one thing to do.
Amen.
As much as I love my regular Starbucks drinks, I'm in a rut. Anyone had anything really good there lately or have a favorite you'd like to share? I've got a big, fat gift card and need some new sugggestions.
Do they have blueberry syrup? I like a caramel latte with a shot of blueberry, but have only tried it at local coffee shops.

Sarah - I think they did have blueberry at one time, but don't think they have it anymore. :( I haven't had a caramel latte in a long time. I'll have to get one!
DeleteI kind of feel like most of the drinks taste the same. So I just always get a caramel macchiato.
ReplyDeleteNicole - I agree. Sometimes they all kind of just blend together. Love a good caramel macchiato. :)
DeleteI'm a bit of a purist when it comes to coffee--I don't want any sweet, whipped cream, cinnamon, etc. I want my coffee to taste like coffee, so I always order the same thing. My 8 year old has my order memorized and it's a HUGE treat when I roll down his window and let him order it for me, lol. Venti iced coffee, cream only, no sugar, light ice.
ReplyDeleteMy husband LOVES the iced coffee. And, he would like it exactly as you described.
DeleteI really don't like any of their hot coffee varieties--even the Pike Place (which is much milder than the rest). They have two new ultra light roasts that came out a few months ago. One is Veranda blend, and I think the other one is Willow, maybe? I tried them, and they're actually a little too weak. Some people are just never happy, lol I dig their iced coffee though. The barista at my local store told me one time which blend they use (can't remember the name of it) but they don't sell it to the public. She suggested I check eBay for black market coffee, hah!
DeleteI am def checking back to see your suggestions. I feel overwhelmed, like there is this world of delicious choices and I am stuck ordering what is safe. I tried chai for the first time this morning. It wasn't bad, but not a substitute for my regular. I really, really like iced coffee... in fact i now prefer it to frappuchino. I am considering trying a mocha latte next time... 2 of my friends say it is their favorite so maybe i should give it a try?
ReplyDeleteCrystal - I LOVE Mochas. So good! I really like the iced white chocolate mocha. Especially with cinnamon dolce syrup added to it. Tastes like a liquid Snickerdoodle. :)
DeleteLove an iced caramel latte when it's warm out but my new favorite hot drink is the cinnaomon dolce latte! I'm new to your blog and LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHi, Lori! Nice to "meet" you. I've never tried the cinnamon dolce latte - I usually just add the syrup to a white mocha. I'll have to try it!
Deletemy mom introduced me to a new favorite - extra hot soy vanilla latte with no foam. not sure how you feel about soy - but it definitely gives it a nice, rich flavor.
ReplyDeleteKerri - I've never had a soy drink. I don't let my boys near it, but I'd like to try it sometime. I've never even had a regular vanilla latte - maybe I'll try that next.
DeleteThis is a very sad story, but in my first trimester I woke up one morning with a sudden aversion to all things coffee (*GASP!!*) I got hooked on iced Tazo green tea lemonade! So good! But before I was gestating I'd always get the white chocolate mocha.
ReplyDeleteHeather - Oh no! But, a green tea lemonade does sound *so* good! Yum!
Deletechai tea latte for me! with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and 1 sweet n low!! love it!
ReplyDeleteNelly - I've never thought to add vanilla to a chai latte. GREAT idea!
DeleteMy favorite drinks...
ReplyDeleteToffee Nut Latte, Chai Creme Frappuccino w/ a little bit of vanilla or if they still have pumpkin that is good in there too, Iced Passion Tea (and I take my own Stevia to sweeten it)and Strawberry Banana Smoothie - without the protein powder.
Ooooh, a chai creme frappuccino sounds SO good. I've never had a chai over ice. That sounds delicious!
