  What I Ordered: Starbucks Signature Hot ChocolateRating: 5/5Recommend?: A thousand times yes.Description: This is like the best Hot Chocolate to ever exist. Fuck Costa, fuck McDonalds, at Starbucks you’ve got your cream, your powdered chocolate on top, your rich, creamy chocolatey goodness. Seriously, I’m a huge tea drinker myself, but whenever I go to Starbucks this is basically the only thing I drink because it’s so fucking good. Also, in the winter, when it’s cold and you need warming up, you’re thirsty and you want something to hit the spot, this is what you want. It’s beautiful. Never have I tasted a finer chocolatey beverage. Mmmmm.

did you take all the pictures of the starbucks drinks and stuff?

For the most part, no. All images were found on google. However, the photos tagged with #Photo: username were taken by that user.

My Order: Tall Java Chip Frap (whipped cream) Rating: 5/5 Recommend: Yes! Quick Description: A delicious mocha drink with whipped cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup. (Mocha: chocolate + espresso + milk). You taste the chocolate (although I wish it was stronger) and you taste the coffee in a perfect mix. It’s really refreshing and not heavy, definitely my favorite after the Green Tea Frap.

What I Ordered: Iced Vanilla LatteRating: 3/5Recommend?: Yes, for those who need caffeine and like the taste of coffee.Description: Occasionally in the summer I want a cold coffee drink that’s not a frappuccino. I don’t know if I’m the only one, but sometimes I feel like they put to much ice in frappuccinos, like it’s a snow cone or something. Sometimes you got to get back to basics. An iced vanilla latte is for someone who’s in the mood for a simple, cold coffee with a hint of vanilla.Cons: It’s not sweetened. You have to put your own sugar (which doesn’t dissolve well in cold drinks).It’s almost not worth it to buy this drink at Starbucks when you can also get it at McDonald’s for a lot cheaper. (The customer service usually sucks at McDonald’s though).

Order: Tall Vanilla Bean Frappucino Rating: 3/5 Recommend: No Description: If you really like vanilla, you might like this, but it tasted too watered down for me, plus when it melted, the vanilla base gave off this weird odor. It was thinner than a vanilla milkshake, almost like a slushee. I really feel that the coffee based Frappucinos are better than the non-coffee based ones (having also tried the Strawberries and Creme one.)

What I ordered: Caramel Coffee Frappuccino with Whipped cream and caramel sauce on top Rating: 4/5 Recommend?: Yes! Quick Description: The coffee flavour is really strong, but the milk and the sweetness of the caramel mean that it’s not too overpowering. Perfect if you have a bit of a sweet tooth but still want your coffee fix. Only problem that I find is that towards the end it gets a bit sickly. It’s definitely worth a try though and because it’s cold it’s perfect for a summers day! It’s absolutely delicious!

Order: Tall Caramel light Frappuccino made with sugar free caramel syrup Rating: 5/5 Recommend: Yes, especially for those who love frappucinos but are watching their calories—the tall one only has 110 calories, which is way less than the regular caramel version. Quick Description: A good blend of coffee and caramel, cold and refreshing, and a good pick me up. I do not normally like coffee, but I love it this way. The regular caramel frappucino comes with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. Tastes almost the same as the regular version, perhaps a little different from the sugar free caramel base.

I'm going to starbucks tonight with some friends & I'll submit a review on whatever I order :D :D

Awesome, thanks!

Also, just a notification: This isn’t just a frap blog, all coffees & teas are welcome!

PERSONAL OPINION ON THE CINNAMON DOLCE FRAPPUCCINO What I Ordered: Cinnamon Dolce Frappuccino (it should come with whipped cream) Rating: 5/5 Recommend?: Hell yes Description: This frapp is for people who love coffee and who love cinnamon (which is me). This is personally my favorite. I would describe this drink as the heavenly combination that is dark-roasted coffee, blended with spicy and sweet cinnamon syrup, topped with creamy whipped-cream and yummy cinnamon dolce topping. Other info: It may or may not be on the menu, but it used to be and they have a hot latte drink of the same name. If you order it, they’ll make it for you!

PERSONAL OPINION ON THE GREEN TEA FRAPPUCCINO What I Ordered: Tall Green Tea Frap (whipped cream) Rating: 5/5 Recommend?: Yes! Description: Unf. I am in love with the green tea frap. It’s a creamy/milkshak-y/delicious/green tea-licious pile of goodness in a cup. Granted, it’s a little different each time because every person makes it differently. Sometimes it’s a little on the sweet side, sometimes it’s more on the tea side (which i love.) This is my FAVORITE frap. You must try it.
