    Yeah. I got Starbucks today and I was thinking while waiting for my drink, there are so much more drinks than it tells you on the menu. So I decided to make this thread for recommendations.

    {Trust me every time I go..I stand for a good few minutes looking at the menu and have no idea what I want}

    Today I got the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha. It was even better than the Peppermint Mocha I usually get. I really love White Chocolate so I decided to get it since it was -13 today and snowed all day :(

    I always get some kind of double chocolate chip thing that doesn't have coffee in it. I'll look it up next time I go.

    Venti Wet Coffee Frappachino Light ^^ That is what I normally get but Toffee Nut Lattes at Christmas are awesome xD I was quite shocked when I went to the US how limited the menu was.

    As I am also not allowed to have too much caffeine I usually get an Iced Chai Tea Latte that I refer to as the "largest size." If I pay that much for coffee & have to wait in line for that long I think they can figure out what the largest size is... ;)

    On rare occasions I go crazy & get a short of espresso with whipped cream to drink before my Chai... ;) I know it's not good for me, but neither is anything I do that's fun. :)

    Also, I usually try to buy my Chai from a more locally owned shop if I can but since Juno's, my former favorite cafe closed, I am forced to visit Starbucks in the morning as the other coffee shop doesn't seem to open till 9am or so... *sigh*

    I usually like getting White Chocolate Mocha, I absolutely HATE the taste of coffee and this mocha taste just like hot white chocolate.

    During the summer I like getting their Double Choco Chip Frap.

    Yup I looked it up and this is what I got

    "A frappuccino can be coffee based or simply milk based. The fact that you got a mocha frappuccino means it is one of the coffee based ones that they offer so here you go:
    They use the mocha syrup (its thicker more like a sauce actually)... and blend it with ice and their "coffee base" which consists of cold coffee and a dairy base (milks, creams - they pre-make this in batches) So.
    1- they measure out the coffee-dairy base
    2- add the pumps of mocha (which you can customize)
    3- add ice
    Put all this in a blender until it comes out to a smooth consistency
    Then add some chocolate syrup and whipped cream on top."

    Yeah the white chocolate mocha is good but I agree with 689593. The Strawberries and Cream is beast.

    I always get the double chocolate chip when I go there. I've had a few other things from there, but for the most part, paying 4 dollars for a drink isn't something I can do everyday. Plus I can't stand the taste of coffee >.<

    I understand that...the reason I cannot have Starbucks is that the nearest one is in Bangkok which is 11 hours drive from here...a bit far to go for a cup of joe :yup: So I bought some Moccona gold blend and drink that at home :arf:
