I usually get the holiday drinks when I go. But when it's not around the holidays I'll get a caramel latte. I havent' gotten Starbucks in awhile though because the last 3 drinks I've gotten were terrible. I"m not sure what's going on at Starbucks but somebody doesn't know how to fix them! And they're too expensive to keep getting if I don't like them.
I'll get my 6 year old the organic vanilla milk.

During the holidays I get Peppermint Mochas. I'm going to try the White Peppermint Mocha next time...heard it was tasty. I've also gotten the Eggnog Latte and the Pumpkin Spice Latte...both good, but my Peppermint can't be beat!
When the holidays are over I usually get a Vanilla Latte or a Cinnamon Dulce w/sugar free caramel. I also make the Breakfast Blend at home every morning. |

Oh gosh.
My drink totally varies with my mood. Somtimes I'm feelin peppermint, sometimes I'm feeling caramel. I am never loyal to one drink, but I'm always loyal to the Bux! :) They are ALL so good! |

Working at Starbucks I get to try it all and let me just say if you order something and its not what you want--ask them to make you something else, if you want to try something ask them if they can make you a sample. I am sure customer service varies from place to place but they should try (dont pick a super busy time)
Now drink choices--I like the chai latte (more caffiene than coffee and at 4am I need it) on ice and this time of year you can get it with egg nog and that is a real treat. Carmel Macchiato (I should be able to spell this) is a popular choice.
For the little ones in addition to what is in the take away case they can make you homemade kid size chocolate (vanilla, white choc, etc) milk (whole, 2%, skim, soy, organic) as well as hot chocolate (made at lower temp for child), apple juice, hot apple juice, and all the cream based frappes have no caffiene. My boys like the strawberry frapp with chocolate chips or the eggnog cream frapp.
Hope this clears up some of your questions.
Love ya latte

For those who said they dont have the extra cash or are just comfy with their drinks.. you can ask the barista for a little sample. At least I do it. I work at a starbucks and if they ask, i will make them a tall sample.. on the house!
Also.. my drink is a grande 1 pump mocha nonfat no whip white chocolate mocha (iced or hot!!) |

Love the gingerbread latte and the red mitten cookie. Also gingerbread. Was there yesterday and this little red headed girl was eating the same cookie as I and she was so cute. She was licking the red off and it was all over her little face and she was so cute. I also love the eggnog latte. Hope everyone enjoys their coffee.

by smadar on Dec. 15, 2007 at 5:52 PMQuoting mykidsmommy: Every now and then when i go they forget to stir up the drink so all the flavor is at the bottom. normally i take it home and stir and they taste just fine. I only had one exprience where it was so terrible i couldn't drink it, i went through the drive through in the puring down rain so i wasn't about to get my daughter out of the car to have them fix it. I've definetly had some that are better than others.
