I know this is not the best explanation, but I'd say it's in between. it's like a mix between a latte, coffee, and hot chocolate.. it's creamier, to me at least. I was never a huge fan of the strong taste of espresso drinks so the one shot tastes much better to me
We also made Wolfpack Mochas at the place I worked at.. think regular mocha except with white chocolate and cinnamon added in.. perfect taste for fall weather. : )

yea, i'm spending about $15/week at Starbucks. and if i go on the weekends i'm spending even more. i get it nearly every day on the way to work. and if i don't get it in the morning, i'm getting it around lunch time.
hi, i'm jaime, and i'm addicted to expensive coffee products.10/1/2009 9:27:30 AM |

I just got a weird craving for coffee...maybe because it's cold out and I'm up earlier this morning.
and I really want it to be time for the gingerbread latte's to come out! Ohhh, I want that now! 10/1/2009 9:31:07 AM |
thumper All American 21574 Posts user info edit post |
i've never tried the gingerbread latte. i've never had a peppermint mocha latte either. i think the pumpkin is the only "specialty" latte i've ever had, mainly because they're all so sugary and fattening that i have always forced myself to stay away.
but lately i just don't care 10/1/2009 9:32:14 AM |

I tried the pumpkin spice latte last year and it was so nasty I thought it could hold me over until the gingerbread one came out but no 10/1/2009 9:34:02 AM |

Pumpkin spice is pretty good, at least to me, but I'd rather have a few others there. My girlfriend loves the stuff though--she was counting down the days 'til it was available again recently. 10/1/2009 12:05:39 PM |

Fuck Starbucks for being so overpriced. $3-4 for a drink is outrageous.
I am not into coffee, but tea and hot chocolate. And I can and do make much better tea and hot chocolate at home every day than I have had there a few times ever.
So, fuck them again. 10/1/2009 7:19:35 PM |

oh in case anyone wants a free Tall coffee....all Starbucks are doing a taste test in-store to see if you can taste the difference between their fresh brewed coffee and their new VIA instant coffee. do the taste test - and get a free Tall coffee 10/4/2009 11:17:30 AM |

thumper, I was only suggesting you get sugar free vanilla, not sugar free all 3 sometimes brown sugar is a seasonal flavor though 10/4/2009 11:21:05 AM |
thumper All American 21574 Posts user info edit post |
hahah nooooooooo i'm not getting the full sugar syrups. the only way i justify my daily trips to starbucks is because my drinks are always less than 150 calories except for days like friday when i do this:

well cinnamon is such a strong flavor you can get much less and be ok for calories I think. brown sugar is one you can go half-and-half on as well (if not less than half the normal amount) 10/4/2009 11:24:52 AM |

Cookout does indeed have a coffee milkshake. It's their "Cappuccino" shake, but tastes like a little bit of coffee in an overall vanilla shake. But it's still awesome. 10/15/2009 8:31:56 AM |
