If you were going to Starbucks...

What would you order....?

I love coffee but was never a huge fan of theirs. Last time I had it I was in HS, so like 7 years ago. Since I'll be beside of one today, and I'll give it another shot. This board makes me feel like I'm missing something wonderful.

Edit: spelling

Cool lime refresher! Caffeine but without the icky coffee taste.

Oh wait, you like coffee. Carry on.

Andrewsgal · September 2014

Venti pikes place 1 sweet n low light ice yum.

I had a pumpkin spice latte recently, and like other people have found, it wasn't as good as I remember it being before. If you like pumpkin/spicy drinks, though, you could give it a try.

My usual go-to is a caramel macchiato (either hot or iced). Nice rich coffee taste, not too sweet, and already mixed so you don't need to add anything to it.

If you just want a nice old fashioned coffee, though, try their Pike Place Roast.

If you want a bit of a richer taste but still a regular coffee, get an Americano.

If you want something super sweet and tasty, get a white chocolate mocha.

I also love their chai lattes, but that's tea, so only get that if you're not in a coffee mood.

Americano! Hot or iced depending on the temp outside. I get with sugar free vanilla and soy. I love americanos esp when I'm pregnant bc you have a more accurate idea of how much caffeine is in there as opposed to brewed coffee.

On a regular day I just do a grande or be to dark roast and add a splash of milk. For a treat I'll get a triple grande nonfat latte. Yum!

minerswife17 · September 2014

Seriously, all of these sound so yummy. I don't know what to get!!!

joyfullyfound · September 2014

It depends on your taste and mood. I usually get a grande soy chai latte. If I want coffee, I get a grande decaf americano with a pump of hazelnut. And obviously, there's fraps.... if its' hot out, you might want to go with one of those

raraavis28 · September 2014

If I don't have a gc, a dark roast (maybe w/ a pump of hazelnut). If I do have a gc I'll splurge....usually on whatever their seasonal drink is or a mocha...those are always delish!

Joyfully makes a good point, as you've been talking about hot weather lately. Go for a Java Chip Frappuccino! Soo good! Very unhealthy but soo good

NicoleWI · September 2014

Decaf vanilla latte. Iced or hot.

rockyrollgirl · September 2014

Depends on the weather. Hot weather I get a caramel frapp.

Cooler weather. Caramel Macchiato or White Chocolate Mocha.

Spin313 · September 2014

I'm sitting in Starbucks right now with a salted caramel hot chocolate! Yum!

My usual is a coffee frap or toffee nut frap.

zbeesma86 · September 2014

I was just there- got an iced green tea with one pump of classic.

dizzycooks · September 2014

I've found a recent love for an americano with two flavor shots (caramel or vanilla) and then a healthy dose of heavy cream on top.

dmartin726 · September 2014

Triple shot non fat latte. I find all the flavored drinks to be too much flavor for me..

vlagrl29 · September 2014

I buy their ground coffee at the store and always drink the house blend. When I use to visit them more often I would order an iced mocha during the summertime and a hot mocha during the winter. Caramel Machiatos were tasty too.

hayleydeee · September 2014

A regular cup of coffee.

But around the holidays I like their gingerbread lattes.

bumpuser8448316 · September 2014

Grande iced coffee sweetened with a splash of skim

id012 · September 2014

Passion ice tea with lemonade!

HBirdie · September 2014

Salted caramel hot chocolate! If you like coffee, get the latte version, obviously. It's sweet, though, so I get them very sparingly and usually only order a tall.

minerswife17 · September 2014

I tried the vanilla frappuccino. Pretty good. I can't wait to try some more of these ideas! Thanks ladies!! The salted caramel frap and hot choc sound delish!!

hmd · September 2014

I get the caramel macchiato (sp?). But I don't drink regular coffee.

dizzycooks · September 2014

So who's going to deliver one of these to my classroom?

meglew · September 2014

Tall no foam soy latte.

eaglesfan700 · September 2014

I don't like coffee and I rarely go to Starbucks. But there is one in our grocery store, so every so often in the fall/winter I will get a salted caramel mocha. It is delicious

ababymaybe · September 2014

Grande latte, iced if it's hot out. Boring! I don't like sweet coffee.

PrimRoseMama · September 2014

Quad Venti vanilla latte with caramel drizzle =P~

Aussie45 · September 2014

PSL is ok but I get mine with an extra shot of syrup because the Starbucks by our place sucks and they can't make anything taste decent.

Otherwise, it's a white chocolate mocha. Not a ton of coffee, but awesome flavor.

Otherwise, if I'm in the mood for something cold I grab a vanilla bean frappucino. Less ice and more milk cuts down on it being too dry at the end. It's like a deliciously overpriced milkshake

Keeptruckin · September 2014

A sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich with a peppermint mocha.

God why don't they freaking deliver by now

This would be ammmmaaazzing...

I worked at Starbucks for years so I can whip almost anything up at home. Espresso machine & all!

I buy the syrups & voila. However, I still like to get sbux out when I can.

FFThC: I get espresso bean bags & leave it open in my kitchen so it smells like coffee

The only thing I like a SBucks is peppermint hot chocolate

Salted Caramel Mochas are the shit. I get so pissy when they inevitably run out of the salt stuff 1/2 way through winter. It DOES matter, Sbucks.

My DH loves those as well and is always PISSED that 2 weeks into the season, they are out of the salt. Like they didn't see that coming the last 3 or 4 years.

eaglesfan700 · September 2014

I was still getting salted caramel mochas well into the spring. Even when they took them off the menu, they would still make them if I asked for one

sophie206 · September 2014

Warm weather: Grande iced coffee with 2 pumps of classic sweetener and room for cream!
Or
Grande iced 2 pump vanilla latte

Cold weather: Pumpkin spice latte, gingerbread latte, caramel sauce latte (not the syrup) or vanilla latte (sometimes with whip!)
