Drinks at Starbucks

by gigi on August 27, 2007

John and I went for coffee at the Starbucks near our work the other day. By “coffee”, we just mean drinks…seeing that neither of us are big coffee drinkers. :)

All summer, I’ve been drinking the summer special drink of blueberry white tea lemonade. I normally get my iced drinks at Starbucks with half syrup and easy/light ice. I find that the full syrup drinks are a bit too sweet with me. The lemonade and blueberry syrup make for a nice and refreshing summer drink.

John decided to have the green tea latte. If you can get over the green colour, it actually tastes quite good! It comes with a shot of melon syrup which is hard to pick out at first but adds an interesting twist to the drink.

The thing I like the most about Starbucks is their seasonal drinks. Although they tend to be on the pricey side for a coffee or tea, it is a nice indulgence on a summer day.

Details:
Starbucks is located basically on every other block in the Lower Mainland.  You shouldn’t have trouble finding one but the one I went to was at the corner of Kingsway and Boundary in Vancouver.  :)

I’m going to have to go ahead and comment on the green tea latte. I usually love green tea whether it’s just the tea itself, in ice cream form, or done up as a milky bubble tea. But the last time I had this drink from Starbucks, I could only endure half a cup. Maybe it’s an acquired taste…

Green tea latte is one drink that Blenz gets right. They use a good matcha powder. As memory servers I think i found it consistently better than the Starbucks variety.

Thanks for the suggestion, Dan! I will have to order that the next time I am at Blenz.
