Favorite Starbucks Drink!

[EEKappa]

Vente skinny cinnamon dolce latte, no whip.

One of my Kappa friends worked at Starbucks when she was interviewing after she relocated, and swears that the most often ordered drink is a vanilla latte.

You can actually still order it.

About the orange syrup, that's discountinued as well. Possibly back for the summer, but haven't heard anything yet.

I do. Then they repeat my order with the Starbucks word. I'm just like, whatever.

This thread SUCKS because I gave up Frappacinos for Lent. I like the Caramel and the Cinnamon. But I actually like the Caramel or Vanilla ones you can get in the bottle better than the ones you buy at the store. You can swill them quickly and get a massive buzz.

And the ones in the bottle are probably a LOT better for you - a grande caramel frappuchino is 380 calories and 15g of fat! Mind you, if you don't do the whipped cream the fat content drops like a lead balloon!

Nonfat chai. I'm a moron when it comes to ordering, so I just get something simple.

LOL. I think their nomenclature is stupid, but I also think that their prices are beyond ridiculous.

Of course, I don't like coffee that much to begin with, and when I do drink it, I want cream and sugar and that's it -- no foam, no espresso, no syrups. I go in a Starbucks maybe once a year, and I order hot chocolate.

Yeah, I'm boring.

At the store I worked at in a Seattle suburb, by far the most popular drink was the tall nonfat vanilla latte.

And my friend was in Portland, OR, so maybe it's a Pacific Northwest preference?

Preferences certainly vary by region. In L.A. they drink cappuccinos instead of lattes, for instance. But what's weird about a vanilla latte?

Non-fat chai latte will do the trick every time

EFF starbucks and their nomenclature. i love the dunkin donuts commercial jingle... "is it french, is it italian... is it fritalian" i have no freaking idea what half their menu is, and im surely not going to order regular coffee and pay more than necessary.

i do remember when they sold "short" which is what, 8 oz? who drinks 8 oz of coffee? well, if they sold it, i surely would - i cant even finish a tall anymore.

but my Starbucks drink of choice is:
Caramel Macchiato (which i cant stomach anymore, too sweet and milky)
Pumpkin Spice Latte (same as above)
Passion Fruit Tazo (i like it a little better iced, but do drink it hot, currently drinking it now. since i found out you can buy it at the supermarket, im not paying $4 for iced tea i can make at home)

there was this one Frappuchino i liked back then but i dont think they make it anymore (maybe it was banana?). and also, our meal plan dollars in college could be spent on Starbucks, so i could order whatever the heck i wanted - it was great!

my drink now is a tall Americano, a bit of half-and-half and 2 Splenda. but it also made me violently ill yesterday so... i may have to ixnay that!

p.s. theres this new Honey Latte... that ish is GROSS!

I like chai lattes, too, though I'll often just buy some Oregon Chai at Costco or the supermarket and just microwave it

I may have a new favorite.

Today I had the Iced Honey Latte with skim milk. DELICIOUS!!!

That's my favorite too...

By the way, it makes me happy to see another San Antonio person on here! I'm sure there are a few, I just haven't met them.

What?!? I've tried ordering it more than once at more than one location and they tell me it's not offered. That's why I started ordering the White Chocolate Mocha; it was recommended as the next nearest thing. They're holding out on me!
