I kind of like the caramel light frappucinno
or the green tea latteMy favorite indie cafe has this awesome vanilla latte that tastes like toasted marshmallows
mmmmstarbucks makes me poor in the summertime.
did you know that in Thailand they have starbucks?
The price of a frappucino is roughly equivalent to a fast food meal for a family of 4?Extra charge for whipped cream will buy you 2 plates of pad thai.

Even without the caffeine this picks me up when I'm dragging. I can't quite grasp the correct description order. It seems like whatever I ask for, they rearrange the words!
I'm very excited because we are getting a Starbucks about 3 miles away - and it's a drivethrough. We suffer from a severe drought of coffee and donut shops. It's a puzzle to me.
My latest craze has been a shop called Teavana - you can guess what they sell. I swear it's addictive stuff - they mix exactly what you want (current favourite is Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls and Rooibos Peach) and it's priced on the order of saffron. Soooo expensive. Soooo good.

yummy. I'm a tea snob too. I love to go to chinese tea shops. i like green teas the best. I love Lung Ching "Dragon Well"
I think if you like jasmine tea, you might like the Lung Ching. give it a try. it almost has honey aromas. It's not briny or bitter like a lot of other green teas.
happy you're getting a new franchise near you. you're going to be poor this summer also!

Mmmm, so good!
Yes, it's a pick-me-up even without the caffeine. It's a treat. It's comfort.

Hi Phillipa,
I bet they could do something like that for you. You just have to ask. they might make it with decaf espresso, though, not coffee.This sounds like an easy one to make at home, too.

Chai Tea Latte - no water/no foam
My husband used to joke that perhaps I could arrange to get an intravenous hookup at our local Starbucks!!
EXPENSIVE though.

Wow, I wonder if they do those here in the UK Starbucks?? I've never heard of them to be honest!
I normally go for a small black coffee and then add in some cold milk from one of those stations.
Starbucks here in the UK is actually pretty average in terms of prices. But don't forget that we're living in 'rip-off' Britain!! *Everything* is expensive here, and we pay tax on things like starbucks.....
But then, my pdoc appointment yesterday was completely free! Oh well.

I don't know really. I only went once, and that was on Babblefest. I let Auntie Mel suggest something. I loved it, but I don't know it's my favourite.
