Starbucks Anyone??

Starbucks doesn't seem to be taking off in the city I live in for good reason; their coffee stinks in comparison to coffee you can buy generally. I must confess to hating Starbucks with a passion. Eh, we're spoilt, Italian immigrants brought all their wonderful coffee knowledge with them and Starbucks coffee products taste like ditchwater by comparison.

vanilla *cream* (not to be confused with vanilla bean)... the cream is made with a liquid and bean is made with a powder. AND I get carmel everywhere on the inside of the cup. it's AMAZING. you should all try it. and then you'll be hooked. fishes.

That's what my 12 year old son loves!! (I always get a couple sip.) It's really good. I didn't realize the vanilla bean was made with a powder.

Lately I've been buying those Pumpkin Spice Lattes like they were going out of style. But omg are they tasty!

Usually I just get an Americano, hot in the winter/fall/spring and cold in the summer.

(I looked up the calore count up on their website- either 450 or 470 calories in that baby) But, OMG it was fantastic. I was good and cut it in half and gave the other half to my husband. My son hates muffins, cakes, twinkies,pretty much anything like that. (He does like Krispy Kreme donuts thou)

If you have an "It's a Grind" by you, the Mocha Fraps are only 180 as opposed to the higher calorie Starbuck's kind.

aww! One day you should try it. It's so good. It's addicting, use to be addicted but it adds up!

My favorites are..
cold: chocolate brownie frap (but ughh they discontinued this one!)
hot: chantico (mmmm chocolate goodness!)

So that's what that is.... I've seen it on their menu but they're always out whenever I go. I can't wait to try it now, I'm such a fiend for hot chocolate and anything like it!

It's a really rich chocolate drink. It's comes in such a little cup, but it's seriously so rich you don't need a lot to satisfy any chocolate cravings. Can't really compare to hot chocolate, it's like liquid chocolate. If you love chocolate you'll love this!
