GTKY - Coffee Shop Order

miss.sally

Tell me, what’s your favorite order from a coffee shop? And which one do you visit the most? 

Y’all this place is too dead. Pleassssssse lets pick things up!!

At the moment I’m drinking a lot of pumpkin spice everything. Whether it’s a latte or a chai. So good. 

Usually I'm a Starbucks drinker but I do have an espresso machine at home so I make myself lattes if I’ve been a few too many times in a week. 

I also have a pour-over that makes the BEST coffee, so I use that when I don’t want a latte. This morning I made coffee and put some Starbucks pumpkin creamer in it. It’s delish.

Cake pop Not a coffee drinker here!

I also don’t drink coffee. When not pregnant I get Rock it Pops (energy drink) from Aroma Joes which is my favorite place. When pregnant I get hot chocolate.

I'm obsessed with the new pumpkin cold brew at starbucks @miss.sally

God, I love coffee! Right now, I've been drinking some TJ's cold brew mixed with chocolate milk in the mornings. I also love the pumpkin cream cold brew at Starbucks... way better than the PSL! My go to hot drink is the Flat White.

Right now I'm digging hazelnut mochas so much!

In the summer I get an iced cold brew with sugar free chocolate macadamia nut and coconut milk and it is amazing!

@chichiphin @mrsvp614 I need to get my butt to starbucks to try those. I've heard they're good!

@miss.sally @chichiphin @mrsvp614 I'm also obsessed with the nitro cold brews with sweet cream at starbucks. I haven't tried it with pumpkin cream yet, but I'm sure I'd love that too. For my daily coffee it's just black, dark/bold roast coffee with a little whole milk. I hate weak coffee!

Anything pumpkin or chai right now like @miss.sally. I like sweet coffee so usually my go to is some sort of mocha. A hot peppermint mocha from Starbucks is my absolute favorite in the winter. 

babyfox320

For the non coffee people, my favorite fall drink is a Chai Tea Latte BUT substitute the milk for apple juice. Its AMAZING.

@mommytimesfour, sounds like we have similar taste. Straight coffee makes me jittery, but I’m a chai fiend and will always do pumpkin spice. 

miss.sally

I actually haven’t tried the pumpkin cream cold brew yet! I should do that.

Ah, I don't like cold brew. I just don't get why people like it 🤔 it tastes really sour to me and it also gives me migraines. But to each their own!

I drink plain old lattes, no sweetener or syrup. And I like a medium roast. Not a massive fan of Starbucks coffee, but man were they a lifesaver for diaper changes when my toddler was teeny. They will always have a place in my heart for being the only coffee shop/restaurant in Boston that reliably had  baby changing facilities.

At home, I have an Aeropress which is my favorite coffee maker ever. It's so easy and quick and it makes my coffee just the way I like it 😊

I like pour over, americanos, or cold brew with a splash of cream. I don't generally like sweet coffee drinks, but I will make an exception for my daily egg nog latte once the holiday season hits. There's a coffee stand I usually hit on my way to work.

@babyfox320 Ooo I will have to try that apple juice trick! I love a chai--that's what I will get when I got to Starbucks, which isn't very often though bc there's not one near me.

So I have different orders depending on where I go. There's a place called REVE I go to, and I will usually get a kombucha there bc they have it on tap. And I also go to a place called Steep House, which is a tea shop, not a coffeeshop, and I get a thai tea bubble tea. (Well, that's what I got last time--I always get a bubble tea, but now I am SOLD on that flavor: I could drink 12 of them in a row.)

On a typical day, I'm usually just drinking black coffee... but love to treat myself to either a pumpkin spice latte (from Starbucks, or any other coffee shop that offers them)  or, the Campfire mocha from Caribou.  DH likes to make fun of me for the PSL thing.. as soon as fall rolls around, he knows I HAVE to stop and get one.  I'm finally beginning to stomach coffee again, which is nice.

Wawa - Pre-pregnancy: Hazelnut coffee w/ french vanilla creamer.

Now I have heavily stopped drinking coffee in general, but if I grab something from Wawa, it's mostly decaf with a dash of flavored (Hazelnut/Pumpkin Spice), and french vanilla creamer. I've had one pumpkin spice latte (decaf) from Starbucks which was soooo good.

@babyfox320 - Now I just want plain apple juice....haha

chichiphin

lol @lusineg I'll have to try it. I didn't know they had that flavor. 

Malidocious

@treetop19 Same with me!  Black coffee is my go-to. I'll do an extra shot of espresso sometimes.  I love mochas, too; and I really dig pumpkin spice chai tea lattes.  Mmmm... but usually, just straight black.  And I'm gross because I'll let it sit and get to room temperature and then I'll chug it.  

stac4056

@stassischroeder @Malidocious @treetop19 same with the black coffee because I prefer my sugar intake to be in food form!!  
I did have to go try the pumpkin cream per your requests, because pregnant I'm like Ariana - I hear it, I want it, I get it, especially if it's sweet. I've been trying to stick to tea to minimize caffeine while pregnant, so I'm a little hyper now, but it was worth it. I am an iced coffee year round girl, hot drinks always upset my stomach. 

-susan-

I love coffee and love finding really good coffee beans. Mmmmm. There's a local roaster near me and my favorites are espresso over ice or a plain latte. But... I love a light roast with milk. That's my go-to. I kinda hate dark roast! Lol sorry. 

Also, as a New Englander, I love some dunks... but would never say to to a cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks 🤷🏼‍♀️

momoftoddlers

Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha (I’m not a pumpkin girl).

Dunkin Iced Caramel Latte (But sadly, iced coffee makes me instantly sick this pregnancy) 

And my all time favorite is a Toasted Marshmallow Iced Latte from our local place.

I never drank coffee until grad school and since then I’ve been hooked.

I order a dark roast coffee or americano, cream no sugar.  Interested in this pumpkin spice cold brew!  I crave coffee every day and have a cup or two but sadly it doesn’t taste quite as good to me lately as when non pregnant.  Still drinking it though 🤷🏻‍♀️

mrsvp614

@miss.sally @stassischroeder The PSL is too sweet for me and ends up tasting like a candle half way through. But the cold brew is still very much coffee, with just the pumpkin cream on top, so it's just a hint and it's awesome! Although, I've had it three times and it was made very differently each time. The last time seemed like the right way, because the first was all blended together. 

miss.sally

@mrsvp614 I usually ask for half the pumps of pumpkin because I agree, super sweet!! 

I got the pumpkin cream cream cold brew today because everyone kept talking about it. I wish I hadn’t because now I’m gonna want them ALL THE DANG TIME. so freaking good you guys. 

Malidocious

Oh I'm feeling tempted to go try this pumpkin cream cold brew... it's hotter than balls out today!

kantobean

Lately it’s just regular coffee with cream. So weird—with my first pregnancy, I had major coffee aversion. Could not drink it until the day after I gave birth! This pregnancy I am loving coffee. The smell of it makes me so happy. I limit myself to one cup a day, sometimes half-caff. 

silverhope

Iced Grande Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks. If I’m not feeling like coffee I get a Passion Iced Tea, unsweetened, no lemonade. 

projectalice

If I'm watching my caffeine then I go for a London Fog. If I'm wanting actual coffee then I get an iced mocha with half an half, plus caramel sauce (not syrup) mixed in, and drizzle on the whip cream. I liked the espresso whip cream when they had it. 

dunder_mifflin

Daily I drink regular drip coffee either black or with almond milk daily. But I love me a specialty coffee once/week and PSL season is upon us so I’ll be having some yummy treats soon! When I’m not pregnant I do love ordering a cortado and in the summer I’m all about the iced coffees and iced americanos. A coffee shop by me makes an awesome cortado but I only got to try it once since I moved into my new house when I was pregnant and didn’t know at the time! I’m sure this place will be my best friend during Mat leave 

stacey6689

I love me some Starbucks and I have one literally 5 mins from my place which is both good and bad lol Right now I am all about the Pumpkin Lattes. During the summer, I was big on the vanilla sweet cream cold brew. Now that I have read through this thread I have to try the cold brew with the pumpkin cream. Oh and starbucks has my absolute favorite bagel which is the sprouted grain bagel. I can't wait for the holiday drinks to come back so I can indulge in my caramel brulee latte. 

miss.sally

I tried the blueberry black tea today at Starbucks because I wasn’t feeling coffee and it was surprisingly delicious and overly sweet! It’s a good summer drink.
