I get a Venti Vanilla Steamer with Caramel syrup and whipped cream

Fave snack...Blueberry scone

*edited to add: I also love their Hot Chocolate and Chai Tea Lattes. I also like their new Spring Fruit Cobbler***

midwesterngirl 08-10-2003 01:39 PM

OUlioness01 08-10-2003 02:53 PM

Boo to corporate coffee shops!

tinydancer 08-10-2003 03:06 PM

I would still like to know who had the bright idea to call the "small" size "tall"!!!!:confused:

Thrillhouse 08-10-2003 04:06 PM

I like starbucks inside of book stores where you can grap some magazines and have a cappucino and read for a few hours:D

steelepike 08-10-2003 04:34 PM

NOOOOOOOOO

Starbucks are now everywhere including GC.

I thought we had a treaty with them not to invade this great land of no starbucks.

midwesterngirl 08-10-2003 04:46 PM

We have a Starbucks in our local Target store.It is easier to get in and out of it than the actual Starbucks drive thru shop less than two miles down the street from it.

LeslieAGD 08-10-2003 04:49 PM

Generally I have a Grande Coffee Frappuccino with Whip Cream. If it's a bad/long/tiring day, I'll have a Venti or I'll have my Frappuccino with Caramel :)

Too bad Starbucks doesn't have a drive thru!

i was no fan of starbucks till my friend introduced me to the...
drumroll... chai tea latte. it's my secret addiction and it's so good.

CatStarESP4 08-10-2003 05:06 PM

My favorite drinks are:
Latte/cappuccino with Irish Creme, Hazelnut, Vanilla or Raspberry
Mocha
Mocha Malt Frappuccino
Mocha Coconut Frappuccino
Chai Latte
Chai Creme Frappuccino
Passion Tea Lemonade
Espresso Con Panna
Chocolate Malt Frappuccino
Tazo Citrus With or Without Cream

I almost always request the tall size, but occasionally I will ask for the grande. I haven't been brave enough to order the venti size. However, if I have the Espresso Con Panna, I get the Doppio (Double) size.

For my espresso (or coffee) based drinks, I request that they be decaffeinated.

Also, for the lattes, cappuccinos and chai, I request organic milk. If they don't have it, I get these drinks with skim milk!

My favorite Starbucks drink is their Venti Chocolate Brownie Frappachino.

It is absolutely delicious!!

Unregistered- 08-10-2003 05:47 PM

UH-Manoa has a Starbucks on campus, which is right by my office in fact....

Ditto on the Venti Chocolate Brownie Frappucino. I also like their Oreo Cookie Frappucinos too!

When I'm not in the mood for either of the above I'll have an Iced Tazo Chai w/ 2% milk.

A lot of ppl don't like corporate giants like Starbucks, but I couldn't function without it!

Knowledge1922 08-10-2003 06:13 PM

Grande Traditional Roast

Tea Biscuit or Fruit Cobbler

the one near my parents house has a drive thru! the only one i've ever seen with one!

i either get a caramel macchiato (sp?) or a vanilla latte. and depending how tired i am or how long of a day i have i get either a grande or venti. there's one in the marriott next to the building i work in so i tend to stop in there a lot of my way to work!

nice!! add another point for UH on my list of grad school choices :) I'm such a Starbucks addict...


I almost always get a grande chai made with soy milk... or a caramel macchiato.

SparkliiQTMTSU 08-10-2003 08:09 PM

OMG the caramel frappacino is the best I used to get it like everyday when my friend was a manger there but now hes moved off to FL and I cant afford my regular starbucks fix!


Nichole

rainbowbrightCS 08-10-2003 08:10 PM

sad to say, I can't have caffenine. It gives me migranes. So no coffee for me. :o

EagleChick19 08-10-2003 11:08 PM

Grande Coconut or Chocolate Brownie Frappucino

RedefinedDiva 08-11-2003 12:27 AM

I'll take a Grande Tazo Chai Creme Frappacino, hold the whipped creme. I'm watching my calories and fat grams. ;)

I am ADDICTED to chai!! I even bought the concentrate to make it at home. How can chai be legal?! It takes control of me. When my spirits are down, chai picks me up. :D It's that good!

UKDaisy 08-11-2003 12:51 AM

OMG I freaking love Starbucks! I always get the Venti White Choc. Mocha. Awesome to drink, but bad on weight watcher points.

kappaloo 08-11-2003 12:56 AM

I like the iced caffe latte's

I really enjoyed the caramel apple cider - but it made me break out into hives, so I tend to stay away from it.

Tell me about it...I was the 3rd person in line when they opened a year ago! We're super excited because they're opening a Jamba Juice next door soon!

where have you been?! :p out of the 15 starbucks in jacksonville, there are two with a drive thru. i heard it sucks cause it is always insanely busy. there is also one in gainesville about 15 min. away from university of florida.



and shine, i know i know. there a lot of downfalls of working for a corporate coffee shop. it is disgusting how much money they made in 2002.

i like anything without coffee. me, a starbucks employee HATES coffee.

ladyj39 08-11-2003 02:23 AM

MMmmm..I just had a grande caramel macchiatto today. I also like their peach blackberry scones. I try to limit myself to one visit every week because I'm trying to save money!

I work down the street from a 7-11, so I usually buy a cup for $1. Not the greatest coffee, but it's cheap! Plus, I'm trying to cut back on caffeine...

sigmanuzk 08-11-2003 03:38 AM

Venti Non-fat Iced caramel machiatto, Venti Black Iced tea unsweetened.

Espresso Brownie Bar.

We have that too. I love their overpriced scones, period!

Lady Pi Phi 08-11-2003 09:14 AM

I don't like Starbucks. I hate their coffee. I rarely go, and if I do, I'll order the Venti Tazo Chai. It's really good, and the only thing I like from Starbucks.

If I want a coffee, I'll grab me a Timmie's coffee...Yumm :)

In Michigan, where we're obviously not cool enough to have drive-thru's.

Article in Today's Washington Post on Starbucks

MattUMASSD 08-11-2003 10:26 AM

Iced Grande Skim Caramel Macchiato
Grande Chai Latte

I enjoy the Maple Scones. I think Starbucks is one of the fastest growing companies in history. I think starbucks opens 2 new stores everyday.

sigmanuzk 08-12-2003 01:58 AM

We have a drive-thru starbucks.

I've seen zucchini loafs, but not with carrot. I once tried their low fat oat and fruit scone thinking it wouldn't be as bad and I would be saving calories. After taking a bite out of the dry pastry, I decided I'll take more calories anyday! :D I love scones! Too bad they are so bad for you!

josh8o 08-12-2003 03:59 AM

i used to think starbucks is cool....but now i am hooked on the coffee bean. it is the shit.

PandaOnProzac 08-12-2003 06:00 AM

I'm just really shocked at how coffee places are filled with teens. I'm not talking about seniors plugging through SAT books but those young teens drinking coffee at an early age.

STICK TO SODA KIDS!

PandaOnProzac 08-12-2003 06:01 AM

Oh yeah forgot to list: mocha fraps

I'm not really into Starbucks( I work at a local Coffee Shop), But If I needed something to get going for my classes, I get a large cup of Breakfast Blend at the starbuck section of the snack shop at School.

angelic1 08-12-2003 02:33 PM
