I schedule a LOT of meetings at Starbucks, and I always get one of two drinks, venti passion iced tea, or a venti zebra hot chocolate. (Dark and white chocolate, AKA the Michael Jackson hot chocolate.)

I want to try something new today, so what is your favorite Starbucks drink? (I know some of you may like petes, tully's, seattles best, caribou, or some other local blend, but let's keep it to starbucks!)
 
Tall Capp exrta dry, 2 extra shots (It's Esspresso with froth) mmmm...

If you want to make it fun order this as a Venti (HArdest drink to make... EVER)
 
My wife works at barnes & noble as the cafe manager, which serves Starbucks Coffee....she devised her own drink and its my fav. personally....however, I do not know the name of it (other than what her co-workers call an Itsuka special) but I will find out for you all.
 
***eyes pop open*** Now you all have my attention! Starbucks... yummmm, Grande soy hazelnut latte, doubleshot. Maybe a dolce de leche for a change.

When I worked as a barista (person that makes coffee) my friends and I came op with names for Coffee with shots in it.

1 shot - Shot in the dark
2 shots - Double (wow that was hard)
3 shots - JFK
4 shots - Hammerhead
5 shots - Red Eye
6 shots - ?? (forgot this one)
7 shots - Zombie
 
rofl @ #3, be it politically correct or not...

I'm with Q, nothing they've come up within the last several years beats good ol' Mocha Frappuccino.

Although I once I had a raspberry frozen Tazo tea thing that was pretty tasty (albeit even more froo-froo than a frappuccino) but I don't seem to see it anymore ... not the same as their Raspberries & Cream thingees. Actually, I'm pretty sure that where I had that Tazo thing was at some place on Guadalupe, Icthus & Baddwin... maybe it's an Austin secret.
 
Ahhh, the Drag. Fond memories.

I'm not a coffee drinker, so about the fanciest thing I've had at Starbucks is some white chocolate cocoa thing that I don't know the name for.

Sheesh, I really need to join the 21st century, eh?

But I can definitely see Austin as being someplace to find some fancy coffee-thingy. Great town, though. On my (very) short list of favorite places.
 
I like fraps cuz I'm not much of a coffee drinker and I can get hyper really really really really easily. I usually get a Vanilla Bean Frap. It's so good and it satisfies my sweet tooth. =D

I do drink coffee, but when Baddwin and I were in Austin the coffee thing had not yet hit. Plus, I really started to drink coffee getting my Masters. 8 AM Hebrew class will make that happen.

The great things on the drag were Amy's Ice Cream and GM Steakhouse.
 
But...but...what about the Cadeau? *snort*

Yeah, I was seriously bummed when I was back in Austin and saw that the GM Steakhouse was gone. That place was an institution. Just don't ask for a Coke. :D
 
Itsuka Special = Double Tall mocha (2 pumps of mocha, one pump white chocolate) *double meaning two shots of espresso

Itsuka's Morning Drink = Tall 2 pump white chocolate mocha Misto with 2 shots of espresso...
 
I don't think there is a starbucks any where around where i live at here in east tennessee and i probably wouldn't go to one if there was,due to the fact i like my folgers with some sweetner and that is it.So i wouldn't be a very good starbucks customer unless they served just regular old coffee and i could add a couple packets of some sweetner in it, lol.
