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.
