I know Starbucks is a staple for many and shunned by others, but everyone has an order. What do you get at Starbucks?
I have 2 things depending on time of day and weather. If it’s the morning and it’s the first coffee of the day I get a Flat White with an extra shot. If it’s the afternoon and it’s nice I get a Nitro Cold Brew With Sweet Cream. If it’s cool later in the day I get a Flat White no extra shot.
Flat white or grande mocha (must be grande) if I feel like something sweeter. I like their Chai as well. I used to like Frappuccinos until I read that they had more calories than a Big Mac. Their straight coffee is horrible.
Thread creep - I’m a big fan of Caribou Dark Chocolate Mocha.
I got the strawberry frappuccino once. I was about to get on an airplane, i hadn’t had supper, and didn’t really have time to get supper, so i grabbed the drink.
It was delicious. But i couldn’t finish it, because it was so damn filling. And i was left awkwardly holding this partially-full cup for the first half hour of the flight, when i finally was able to ask the flight attendant to throw the rest away.
I was totally unsurprised to read they have a gazillion calories.
Flat white since it was introduced, previously I would flip flop between a wet cappuccino and a macchiato. I will sometimes try the new seasonal stuff, but they’re generally way too sweet.
Not Starbucks, but I just found out yesterday that a Philz opened near me There is one near my office that I would go to periodically, and have not been since the before times.
This morning got myself a Silken Splendor (drip coffee). It was every bit as good as I remembered.
