I don't know about you ladies, but I LOVE Starbucks & their lattes
This year, they are coming out with a NEW LATTE! LOL Can you tell I'm excited?! Chestnut Praline Latte - Now, I'm not sure what a chestnut tastes like but I'm hoping it's delicious.
Chai latte! And that chestnut one sounds delicious...

This am I had a salted carmel mocha (hold the whip). I do like the hazelnut machiatto (sp?) too. I feel like they had a drink I loved, but then they discontinued it. Do you think I can remember what it was? Of course not.
Ok, just looked it up. It was the mocha cookie crumble frap. More like desert, but YUM!
Ahh! I love the cinnamon dolce latte, but I feel like decaf makes it taste weird, or maybe I'm just imagining it since I'm a little bitter about the no caffeine thing (being extra cautious).
My DH worked at Starbucks for 6 years before becoming a nurse. My fav things before having to pay are caramel apple spice, half vanilla half hazelnut with non fat milk frappicino with cinnamon dolce powder ontop, pumpkin spice frappicino, and gingerbread latte. Now that I have to pay green tea with peach syrup or passion fruit iced tea.
I'm normally addicted to my skinny vanilla latte but ever since I read some article about what goes into a pumpkin spice latte (another one I love during fall) I got discouraged and haven't gone since
I might have to just forget about what I read and get a salted caramel or a peppermint mocha. Yum.
This is why I just avoid reading certain articles. My friend sent me an article on facebook and the MSG in pizza and its effect on fetuses and I was like NOPE. NOPE dont ruin pizza for me. But I understand, once you read it, you can't unread it. I'm sorry pumpkin spice was ruined for you this is sad.

This may be an early UO, but I prefer Caribou to Starbucks any day. However, when I DO go to starbucks, I get a Blended Chai Frappecino.
At Caribou, depending on my mood, my favorites are: White hot chocolate, White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Cooler, Wild berry smoothie, or a Ho Ho mint mocha. I know that these are all available in some version at Starbucks, but I think they are way better at Caribou.

I never know what to order there. I seriously feel like I need a barista to sit down with me and explain how to order something yummy and delicious and not bland and boring. So when I go I almost always get a caramel frap because it's on the menu and I don't have to say anything fancy. Please show me your ways!!!
I have been loving the guilt-free caramel machiatto. Guilt-free because I have declared it such. Sometimes in real normal non-preggo life, I get it with skim milk but it JUST ISN'T AS GOOD.

Caribou is my absolute favorite! I'm in Texas so I only get it when I get to visit my in laws in MN. I do love their K-Cups though! But their white chocolate mocha blows Starbucks out of the water!
I'm a pumpkin spice latte in the fall girl and love the hazelnut latte in the winter. In Japan they have new flavors all the time, the tiramisu latte was amazing and last summer they had creamy lemon frappuccino, omg they were amazing! Like sipping a lemon bar. I do like chai lattes too, the best one I had was in Australia. I got one every day we were there.
I used to love Toffee nut lattes but I think they discontinued that flavor! I also love raspberry mochas (with fewer pumps of flavor because it's tooooooo rich otherwise) and of course the pumpkin spice latte! Unfortunately, can't stomach coffee right now either :-/ sadface!
nungongju - you must live in an area where they had the test beverage available- This wasn't nationwide last year
Never expected Milwaukee of all places to be a place for a test location for starbucks. I had it after a friend in Malaysia told me about it. Apparently we had it too.
And someone said tiramisu latte!!! Waaaaaannnttt!!!
I always loved my frapps and now I tried the PSL and that is yummy!! Is it still ok to drink these when pregnant (in moderation) I'm never sure because of all the caffeine! lol

I manage a starbucks and I love coffee!! With that being said, I miss coffee!!! I get to smell it everyday but I have not had a sip since the day I found out I was pregnant. It's been rough!!

@smoretolove um, I'm not sure about where you live, but every Starbucks that I've visited still has Toffee Nut.
I don't drink coffee but I'm a big soy hot chocolate fan. However I've never found a better hot chocolate than the ones from the coffee cart at my university That coffee cart is the thing I miss most from my uni days. I've had Starbucks hot chocolates in the past but not for years. I'll have to give them another shot!

My fave is a decaf white mocha with a pump of raspberry and a shot of espresso!
