What do you order every time you set foot in a Starbucks or drive on up to the window? Lay it out here!! Do you have an old standby favorite or are you constantly jumping on the bandwagon of new coffees?
My standby choice is a regular vanilla caramel latte. My new twist is the skinny vanilla latte! The skinny ones are a healthy way to do coffee... nonfat milk, sugar free syrup. Do you have a special only-your-way favorite?

=D I don't even justify a daily Starbucks run any more. When I worked full time, I could definitely justify it, I spent an average of $20 a week just on coffee. I worked a lot of overtime though which translated to staying up to 4+ hours late some days, or coming in on Sat or Sat and Sun. Without the coffee, I don't know if I'd have managed it without falling asleep at work. I also figured that only $20 a week 'wasted' on something just for me wasn't a big deal, I didn't have any kids at the time and my ex worked full time too.

My favourite is the gingerbread lattes that they do around Christmas. I get so excited when I hear that they're in again and so disappointed come the New Year when they disappear! They're gorgeous!
Lately however I've switched from my off-season caramel macchiato to the cinnamon dolce latte. They're like a cinnamon bun in a cup of coffee. Very sweet, but very yummy!

My favourite drink at Starbucks is their peppermint hot chocolate. I find their coffee way too strong, so I tend to avoid it, but I do like the taste of those peppermint hot chocolate. They are as good as a drink with coffee added.
I do love coffee though. When I want coffee, I go to The Second Cup.

No, I don't have a special drink that I request (that is super unique). However I LOVE their skinny lattes because they only have ninety calories. I like their chai tea. Many of their drinks are very good, I don't think I have had a bad drink there. I'll have to say my "old standby" is the chai latte, but I love their skinny latte, too.

I LOVE the skinny lattes =P I see so many people say they dislike Starbucks or that you cannot tell the difference, I definitely can. I like to see how they change with the times and offer drinks which are an indulgence without having to pay the price with fat and calories. The first Starbucks went up at Pike Place Market in 1971... 3 years before I was born. I didn't realize that until I saw a sign when I was getting coffee last week.

Bah! LOL! My favorite part about coffee is the 'lead'... and apparently it's helpful to you if you work out regularly. I did drink some decaf for a little while when I was pregnant and I suppose I would if I HAD to avoid caffeine. I like caffeine though!

I have two drinks that I love. I usually switch between them. I love the Mocha Latte and the Caramel Macchiato. Both of those drinks really get me going. Sometimes, I might get an extra shot if I really want an extra boost.

I usually have a light frappuccino. What flavour just depends on what I fancy that day. I prfer the cold coffee drinks to hot because I can not drink very hot drinks so have to wait for them to cool a bit first. I also find cold ones more refreshing especially during the summer or after I have been shopping.

In regular drinks I don't have favorite since I want to try it almost all flavors. But I really dislike the Caramel since it is already too sweet. What I like in Starbucks is that in every christmas season they are having the season drinks and I really like the peppermint mocha. That is my favorite in Christmas season.

I just went to Starbucks yesterday and tried something new. I tried the Mint Mocha Chip Frapuchino. Oh my goodness! It was wonderful!
That is my new favorite drink!
