I'm not the biggest fan of my hometown, really. One thing that gladdens me though, is though we have tons of Starbucks around town, Everyone prefers a more local coffee shop called Heine Brothers. They have a larger selection and a cooler atmosphere. Me, I just get my NN (Nantucket Nectars) there because I'm not a coffee fan despite trying it a few times. But the reason I'm proud is that they don't choose the big name over the nicer place which is usually what is done here.

Starbucks!!
I don't like coffee, so when I go I almost always get the Hot Chocolate. It is the BEST!! I also like the Caramel Apple Cider. It is nice on a cool fall day. So is the Chai Tea.

zntke711-
Yep I definitely have plenty of energy after sipping one of my sugar/caffeine concoctions! I had to start limiting my consumption because I was a full-fledged Starbuck's addict for a while there. I knew it was out-of hand when all these $4 charges from Starbuck's started showing up on my credit card bill - if I didn't have any cash on me (which I never do) I would just charge it! When I actually saw on paper how many times I went there, I decided to slow down. But I haven't had one in about a month now, so maybe I should go...

I am a Double Expresso Mochchino Latte Vendi. Yeah, I dont like to blink either. When I am really super tired, (got like 2 hours of sleep) and have to be up for like 24 more, I turn to Starbucks. That and a coke about 4 hours later will have me on my game for another 12 hours. Hey, its either that or bathtub crank. I prefer the Vendi. (Although the efferct is roughly the same.)

When Starbucks opened on campus in August...I was doing backflips. I was one of the first ppl in line so I got a drink and a scone on the house!
My favorite's the Caramel Mocha Frappucino (Grande b/c Venti's too big) with Whipped Cream. It's enough sugar and caffeine to keep me wired for the day. I've already filled up 3 frequent customer cards and we've only been in school for a month!

caramel or smores mochas are the best! Anything with expresso is a close second though

yesterday i went in and got a caramel apple cider and it was sooo good!! Today i went in and got the iced white chocolate mocha. That was pretty good too! Next time i go in there i want to get a vanilla steamer. I looked on the menu and they do have steamed milk and also steamed cider.
Dont you all think their desserts look good too? Today i bought a lemon bar since i went on my lunch break. It was really good, but not something i would get very often!
I think im becoming a starbucks-a-holic!! I dont want to go in there everyday because pretty soon the people that work there will recognize me!

Have any of you tried the holiday drinks they have in there like the Eggnog Latte or the Gingerbread Latte. I like regular eggnog and love gingerbread but i dont know if i would like it in a latte. Just wanted some of your opinions before i try it for myself!

It seems like you guys are speaking Greek, no pun intended. There's a zillion Starbucks around here but I've never been to one. What does all this stuff mean? Vendi, Latte, Grande, steamer...sheesh

small =tall
medium=grande
venti=large
a lattte is a drink with expresso, an eggnog latte consists of expresso, eggnog and whipped cream i think
a milk steamer is just steamed milk and they can add vanilla, caramel or whatever flavor you want to it. You should stop in and try something, even if you arent a coffee lover. I hate coffee but love mocha frappuccinos

Okay, I know this was supposed to be about non-coffee drinks, but I just have to say that there is nothing in the world that is greater than a soy mocha from Starbucks. One sip of that in the morning and suddenly I remember why life is worth living. It's that good.
