ShbrtAlley, I don't know if that question was directed at me, but if so, I don't know off the top of my head. Here is a link that will help you out a lot, though:

Huh, that's actually interesting. I don't really like whipped cream on my frappuccino, but I just don't bother telling them not to add it. The fact that whipped cream adds 130 calories is motivation to speak up next time!

I love caramel frappuccinos, and the chocolate cream cheese muffins!

I usually get a grande raspberry mocha frappachino. They are to die for!

I avoid Starbucks. I don't like my coffee served in cardboard.

Tall Non-fat Caramel Macchiato. Always.

Anyone else love to give fake names at the counter? I'm partial to Logainne and Svetlana.

It wasn't directed specifically at you, Siamese, but thank you!

I don't like coffee. I like the frappachino cremes there, especially the strawberries and cream. The vanilla bean one I had was gross.

Grande iced marble mocha machiatto (sp?) with extra chocolate. =)

not directed at anyone here, but isn't it funny when people are like "omg i love coffee sooooo much i'm a total starbucks addict!" and you're like, okay, what kind do you like? and they say one of those intricate word combinations of whatever starbucks concoction, and you just look at them like, you know that's about 2% coffee and 98% sugar, right? i've encountered this a lot with fellow college aged youngsters but it was mostly in high school when there was a starbucks across the street. that was a problem for me. anyway when i'm in school in ny, i try to go to independent cafes, because they need me and probably aren't evil and useally have darn good coffee. but when i'm home in ft worth, it's starbucks or nothing, and in that case i order a tall americano no room, or in the summer, tall iced americano no room with a shot of hazelnut. i do realize that this is slightly hypocritical, because if "tall iced americano no room with a shot of hazelnut" isn't a bull**** intricate name, i don't know what is. at least it's yummy.

It's the other way around for me:
I always say "I don't like coffee... but I LOVE Starbucks!"

Favourites: summer - Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino
winter - White Chocolate Mocha

Latte, extra shot with LOTS of cinammon on top. And it's always best when Taylor serves it.

I searched and searched and searched and this is the thread that would best fit.

Long story short- my synagogue sent me a 5$ gift card to Starbucks.
First of all, I think I've gotten 1 thing there my whole entire life. Second, there isn't a Starbucks really near by. And most of all, what the heck can you get for 5$!?!
I want to trade my card in and get the 5$. haha

Just thought I'd vent a little.

only $5, now that's silly....that's one drink and some cents left over....They could have at least done $10

Café Mocha...usually Venti with whip. Sometimes I feel like being healthy, so I get Grande, no whip.

I love me some Starbucks! =]

iced grande skim no whip mocha on weekends.

iced grande skim latte on weekdays.

lovelyspotlight, they sent a 5$ card to all the college students so doing 10$ would really be a lot of money.

Do they have a cinnamon bun or something for 5$? lol
If I'm going to have some calories, it's going to be on food- not a drink.

[lovelyspotlight]

Posted: 1/21/07 at 1:19pm

Ah, no wonder I was a bit confused. Elphaba commented about sending $10, not me. =]

Thing is, about the food thing, Starbucks food is just as sickeningly sweet as a majority of their drinks. So, when I go to Starbucks, it is not, by any means, for actual substance. Although they might try selling sandwiches there. Might be a hit. Might not.

Edit: yes, they have cinnamon buns. And I think they're like $1.60 or something. So you can get a couple! Updated On: 1/21/07 at 01:19 PM

lovelyspotlight, I appologize. I guess I read the wrong name when I read about the 10$

[Elphaba]

Posted: 1/21/07 at 1:23pm

they have some great desserts sweet, gingerbread, a cinnamon scone that I love, a cranberry thing that's great, etc...and those you could get a couple of

Starbucks does sell sandwiches. At least in all of the Starbucks I've been to in NY, LA, Seattle, London, Dusseldorf and Paris. The sandwiches in Europe are particularly good, especially in Paris. And before anyone gets on me about going to Starbucks in Europe, I go to them there because they are smoke free havens in a land where people light up like Christmas trees.

Oh God. I can't believe I started this thread considering my current opinion of that company.

Posted: 1/21/07 at 1:30pm

Right now I'm loving the new(ish) cinnamon dolce latte

Other than that, I usually get a mocha cappucino with hazelnut and whip.

[Elphaba]

Posted: 1/21/07 at 1:30pm

could you possibly mean moi, when you say "by anyone", hehe

I bought a sandwich in a Starbucks in Long Beach near my sisters place, and it was horrible......maybe just a bad day, but as I recall it was more than $5

SweetQ- What kind of drinks do you like? Do you like coffee? Tea? Fruity? Hot? Cold? I'm a barista so I feel like I could help point you in the right direction. LOL.

My favorite drinks though are all made up...

Frozen- Cream Frappucino, half banana, half strawberry, one pump coconut, and a splash of tangerine lime.

Hot- Double grande, 2 pump vanilla, nonfat, 2 pump white mocha, with cinnamon and nutmeg powder blended into the espresso. Tastes like a better version of the Cinnamon Dolce Latte.

Also great is melon green tea lemonade or valencia passion tea lemonade (unfortunately they just discontinued valencia).
