I love the low-fat cranberry and orange muffins. And the low-fat lemonberry.

Everyone should try the new low-fat chocolate chip banana cake. It's divine.

Does this mean they iced the banana loaf? I haven't gotten anything baked from Starbucks since those espresso brownies changed for the worse and then disappeared.

Marlene, we still have both banana loaf and espresso brownies. I think it depends on the store.

Hee, glad to know I'm not the only geek with seasonal orders. I can't drink coffee, but that doesn't keep me away.

Summer: Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino
Winter: Hot Chocolate (sometimes with whipped cream, usually only if they offer)

I refuse to buy the food, though. That $1.25 cookie is 50 cents at the grocery store next door.

Ahhh! I LOVED THE ESPRESSO BROWNIES.

My usual drink at Starbucks is a vanilla creme (hot) or just chocolate milk with extra whipped cream. I'm not a coffee person.

I am not a big fan of Starbucks. Mainly because I find their products so overpriced. Not to mention thqat theer coffee is quite strong for my tastes. I do love Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Yenta, I like Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate, but I don't like to get it there because they use styrofoam cups- and unlike Starbucks, they don't let you choose to use your own cup instead.

I don't know how much Dunkin Donuts coffee is, but my Starbucks regular is $1.79. I don't mind paying that.

My current drink is an iced grande vanilla non-fat chai.

Siamese dream, how hard is the drive thru? I work at a Starbucks and am considering switching to a different store, but working the drive thru worries me.

I don't know. I'm very new, so I haven't actually had to work the drive thru yet. I always hear people complaining about it, but I'd imagine that it's not hard per se, it just takes some time getting used to it.

I love me some:

Iced Passion Tea
Double Chocolate Chip Frap
Winter-Peppermint Hot Chocolate

And basically every cookie/cake/loaf/brownie known to man they make. It's sad, I can't help it...

No way. The calorie count on the frozen drinks are as bad as McDonalds folks.
I like to get Cappucino at a cafe called Cafe Mozart.
No calories! Heaven. Skim milk, a touch of Cinnamon.

I like the chocolate chip cookies and the toffee bars, but I refuse to go to Starbucks now because they discontinued the Chantico, and any place that would stop serving melted chocolate in a cup does not deserve my patronage.

For about three years, I would always get a caramel frap. However, I got rather adventurous last Christmas and tried the eggnog and gingerbread lattes, both of which were splendid. However, my absolute favorite is the cinnamon dolce latte. Its a shame its was only seasonal, and I really hope they bring it back. And concerning the banana frap- try a banana caramel. Its wonderful, provided you like banana.

Exactly how many calories are in the frappuccinos? Specifically the mocha, caramel, and java chips. And the lights.
