Ib4 ghey, phaggott, ect.

I went with a caramel macchiato for awhile but is a bit too sweet. I started all over and tried latte's good until the very end where you're slurping up caramel or vanilla.

Decided I need a more adult drink. Flat White with whole milk with two pumps of caramel or vanilla. It has a thick creamy texture, and just sweet enough. Two pumps should be plenty.

Cold brew (unsweetened, a little whole milk) is about all I get there. Starbucks is bad to mediocre with most of their coffee, but their cold brew is good.

If you're putting flavored syrup into your coffee, you're not drinking coffee. It's a warm snowball.

I only go to Starbucks when someone gives me a gift card. I'm drinking my way through a Christmas backlog, and a caffe latte made with coconut milk is what I'm drinking right now. No added sugar....the coconut milk is already plenty sweet enough.

You just need a better coffee shop.

Hot or iced, depending on season, grande latte / skim milk / extra shot.

Nitro with sweet cream (not too much)

Most of Starbucks is too sweet, but I love their nitro and cold brews with foam. I prefer to support local, but Starbucks is just too conveniently located and consistent with their availability of nitro.

I pick up coffee from shops about once a month. I love the dark roast almost burnt flavor of Starbucks dark roast hot coffees.
If I get anything else it's usually one of the flavored latte's.

I can't stand Community and PJ's is pretty average to me.

They used to make an amaretto latte that was awesome, but they don't carry amaretto syrup anymore.


I rarely go there, but when I do I just get a flat white or the nitro cold brew.

Black Coffee.
Prederably dark roast.

(I am a total slut for their cake-pops, however.)

I'll drink any coffee - just plain dark roast at home but coffee can be a treat or breakfast in the morning. It fills me up for a few hours at least.

4 shot espresso straight up. Everything else at Starbucks sucks. My philosophy is Starbucks started as an espresso shop. Community- hot coffee, PJ’s Cold Drip/ iced. At home I use CDM or make Vietnamese coffee, then Cuban coffee or my Moka pot for Italian.

Do yourself a favor and get a blonde espresso instead. Tastes much less like burnt a-hole hair that way.
