Preggo Starbucks tips

@cajaro what Starbucks do you work at. How long have you been working there.

I used to drink coffee and cappuccinos and was not interested in giving up caffeine, but it turns out that I don't like coffee or espresso while pregnant. I wasn't even able to drink a tall cappuccino.

It's not that it tastes bad....it's just something about it makes me feel like puking after I get about half-way through a drink. Maybe I'll try again in second trimester. I do miss it!

For all of you moms wanting to know if we are getting pumpkin scones back, we are!

PSL, salted caramel mocha & pumpkin scones, pecan tarts, Washington Apple pound cake, pumpkin cream cheese muffin & a pumpkin sugar cookie launch September 2nd.

Huh. I had a Passion Tea EVERY morning while I was pregnant with Ella. Helped with my MS for some reason.

This pregnancy however, a iced vanilla latte has saved my ass on several occasions.

lizzybean · August 2014

Sorry, just saw this thread was super old.

BUT I am actually loving the Caramel Brule frapps more than the PSL lately. Florida heat kinda takes the joy out of a delicious warm PSL. :-)

Any idea when the Caramel Brule will be back? Closer to Christmas I suppose?

foxslaw · August 2014

@lizzybean‌ yeah, it's a Christmas drink, so maybe around November? Maybe mid October because all pumpkin stuff is going away mid October.

I miss coffee this baby does not like the taste of coffee at all. It makes me so sick! I am a big coffee drinker so I'm starting to think this baby belongs just to my husband lol

Same!!! I miss my coffee, can't seem to stomach it. (My DH hates coffee too so that explains it

So excited pumpkin spice is almost here. It is just sitting in the back room. I so want to open a bottle!!!

foxslaw · August 2014

We already have had a bottle open for a week or so just for us partners. I've already had more than I care to admit. Hahah @Paleomama‌

Paleomama · August 2014

I am making them open a bottle tomorrow!!!!!

In case y'all haven't seen this already, the pumpkin spice latte is now available if you have the "secret code" which is "First PSL"

I have some distrubing news for you ladies, I saw this on my FB feed today and thought of this thread and the love for PSL

Ehhh, the pesticide stuff isn't really true. All I can really say about it is that we have our own standards & practices for how we grow/process coffee called CAFE practices. Essentially it's most of the standards of organic, without the expensive process of becoming organic (which is almost impossible for Starbucks because of the types of farms, sizes of farms, and amount of farms which we use). Becoming "certified organic" is an expensive process that the farmer would have to go through/pay for.

Thanks for posting the article because it does highlight some truths, like the fact that the Pumpkin Spice sauce is not dairy free...buuuut I'm still going to drink it. Haha

kerrigrooves · August 2014

I get a nonfat vanilla latte once in awhile - Love the peppermint mocha too.

Ive been having 1/2 caff everything so I can still get the benefits of caffine in the morning but just not as much. I brew my own decaf iced tea for the afternoons

Give me that manufactured non-healthy stuff!

I will admit that I laughed out loud when I read the phrase "toxic dose of sugar" on the first infographic of that blog post.

Just thought I'd add this it came up in my newsfeed today... I dont really care either way about PSL but I find the comparison to this food babe being called the food jenny mccarty.

Saralizley · August 2014

All of the pumpkin goodness is back at my Starbucks in Kansas City! My choice was the Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffin, but I was told the scone WILL be returning.

foxslaw · August 2014

Yep. Select stores (including mine) launched today.

tlc4mama · August 2014

Thanks to OP for sharing this! I typically get the hibiscus tea at Panera when I go. Now I know that's a no-no.

MommyOfAMiracle · August 2014

@foxslaw - I LOVE soy chai fraps, is there a lot of caffeine in those?? Please tell me they are ok to drink, and if so, how big can I get? I haven't had one in over 5 months and it's killing me slowly.

It's a chai concentrate, so there is caffeine. Not sure about the mgs, maybe @Paleomama‌ knows. I would assume you'd be fine with a tall or grande.

MommyOfAMiracle · August 2014

HA! I just looked it up and according to the Starbucks website, it only has 45mg of caffeine in a VENTI!!! I can't even begin to tell you how flipping excited I am! I'm getting one T-O-D-A-Y!

Mrs.EvilQueen · August 2014

Oh my god! Ive been drinking those passion iced tea all summer! They are my favourite. I'm so sad.

Paleomama · August 2014

@MommyOfAMiracle‌ drink you chai. I was drinking chai tea lattes when I was trying to cut caffeine. It does have caffeine but not as much as coffee. Black teas have the most caffeine out of teas. I personally try to keep my caffeine level below 200. A tall latte has 75mg of caffeine and a grande or venti latte will have 150. So your chai will have less than that. If I find an exact number I will let you know.

elephantsonpatrol · August 2014

A grande regular chai has 75mg. A grande Oprah chai has 50mg.
