just for fun...whats your favorite thing to order at Starbucks?

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I'm suuuuuuuuuper boring, but I always get a triple venti, non-fat, no foam latte. During the fall, I get a random pumpkin spice latte, here & there.

Yep, I'm pretty basic!

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

Lately I've been getting the oatmeal "pairing" - steel cut oatmeal, stirred in dried fruit, nuts, brown sugar and a skinny latte. Yum. $3.

My personal fave is venti iced coffee but lately it makes me jittery!

alb · Marc Jacobs

interesting thread! i don't drink coffee, but i love chai teal lattes! my usual order (which i get three days a week before taking my sont o school) is a tall skim no water chai. mmm.

sometimes if i've already had my chai that day and i'm back meeting a friend, for example, i get a short nonfat steamer with a sugar free syrup added. that's basically just steamed nonfat milk flavored with sugar free syrup. it's yummy, has lots of protein and very few calories (or weight watchers points, if you care about those).

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I always get a non-fat, no foam, mocha. Around the holidays I get the peppermint version.

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Caramel Frap or Macc...hands down. I try, really I do. I go...I stare at the menu hard...I try to convince myself to try something else, but then I go ahead and order the same thing. My logic...why mess with success. At $4 a pop, I don't want to end up with something I don't like...

Claudia · Gucci

I like:
iced caramel macchiato
vanilla frap
caramel frap
passion shaken iced tea

Tati · Chanel

the vanilla someting Frap and caramel Frap. BUT I stay away from those as much as I can (calories).

So my treat, especially in the summer time...is iced coffee with just 2 Splenda's in it. The best!!!!

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I alternate between:

Skinny Vanilla Latte
Caramel Macchiatto
White Chocolate Mocha
Mocha

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

USUALLY
A double-tall cappuccino, on the dry side.

SWEET
A tall, iced cafe mocha with caramel syrup (the clear flavor syrup - - not the Ghirardelli goo) - Also, I prefer that this is made with cocoa powder - - again, not the Ghirardelli goo). Obviously, I have to go somewhere else for this drink.

Before Borders went to Seattle's "Best" brand coffee, they used to make the most AWESOME iced cafe mochas with caramel syrup.

jj · Kate Spade

In the winter it's a boring venti latte....but I looooooove it and never lasts as long as i would like.

In the summer I treat myself once in a while to an iced vanilla latte and once in a great while to a coffee frap - man, I love those things!!

member · Hermes

My 3 favs are:
Skinny Vanilla Latte - Hot or Iced
Non Fat Vanilla Chai Tea Latte
Iced Tea Lemonade w/black tea

Boots · Gucci

I usually get a Skinny Vanilla Latte (hot or cold.) In the winter, I love the nonfat, no whip gingerbread latte, which I count as my desert.

If you go to the Starbucks website, they list all nutritional info and will break it down by size and options. I like knowing exactly how many calories and such my drink has.

clothes_horse · Dooney & Bourke

my husband and i like to split a carmel high rise. not sure if that's a caribou coffee signature drink or if starbucks has it too... i'm a coffee shop newbie haahaa

subwolley · Kate Spade

I have a Starbucks in my work building. It's sooo tempting. Damn that Starbucks! I usually get a black ice tea sweetened. I like the Java Chips too, and in the fall I like the Carmel Apple Cider. I don't drink coffee.

Yum, I'll have to try this!

I like iced caramel macchiatos, skinny lattes (vanilla), and sometime I get the seasonal drinks.

I have to say, I like the coffee drinks at McDonald's too.

Xtina--yeah, their oatmeal is really good. And pretty healthy too--much better than other fast food breakfasts!

As far as my favorite drinks go, I love iced caramel macchiatos. And in the fall I love to get a skim chai latte and dip a pumpkin scone in it. SOOOO good.

rlutz · Chanel

I am very boring....just a mild blend with 1 sweet and low and a drop of skim milk

jah · Dooney & Bourke

Black Tea Full Fat Latte, no sugar, no syrup.

Black Iced Tea, No Sweet.

fairywings · Dooney & Bourke

I get the nonfat mocha latte if I need caffeine, it's chocolatel-y coffee. Sometimes I get just a regular cup of light and sweet coffee with raspberry syrup so it's pink coffee! And my new favorite drink from Starbucks is the Green Tea Latte...it's cold and sweet and so good.
