They say you can tell a lot about a person from their Instagram. What they like. Who they hang out with. What’s really important to their life. “Your Instagram is all pictures of food.” It’s true. My profile flaunts picture after picture of food. Some pictures of my dog. The occasional scenery. No faces and… Continue reading If we were having coffee…
Starbucks is really rolling out the sweet drinks this spring. Recently they had a similar drink the Smoked Butterscotch Latte, which really felt like a test market for this drink. (You can see my review on that drink here) And that was followed by a very limited run of the Cherry Blossom Frappuccino, a very… Continue reading Starbucks Caramelized Honey Latte
Spring is almost here! The flowers are starting to bloom. Outside my office door the cherry tree is in bloom giving off it’s sweet perfume. Starbucks in Japan has traditionally served a Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Frappuccino at this time every year. But this drink has never been available in American stores, until now. For a… Continue reading Starbucks Cherry Blossom Frappuccino
Thai tea is a secret indulgence of mine. When I was a little girl my dad would sneak me a few sips of Thai tea once in awhile on long car rides home and tell me that it was too strong for me to have a whole bottle…
Starbucks smoked butterscotch latte sounds so sexy. The Starbucks website describes this drink as “Notes of smoked butterscotch and a dash of spice intermingle with our full-bodied espresso, giving your morning latte a sophisticated new twist.” We’ve seen something similar to this drink before. Coffee Bean Tea Leaf offered a salted butterscotch latte last year (… Continue reading Starbucks Smoked Butterscotch Latte

I have always loved the green tea Frappuccino and the matcha lattes that Starbucks offers. And I was really excited when Starbucks acquired Teavana and subsequently their… Continue reading Starbucks Citrus Green Tea Latte
Yay my first official post of the year! In all transparency, I recently got a full time job. It’s been a struggle transitioning from unemployment to working forty hours a week. And so I’ve been neglecting to blog. I’ve been neglecting to write, to sing, to cook, to exercise. It’s amazing how fast time flashes… Continue reading Starbucks Sparkling Passion Tango Tea
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,600 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 27 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the… Continue reading 2015 in review
I was introduced to Speculoos Cookie Butter in college. I had never heard of Speculoos before and I thought that it was the brand of the cookie butter. But actually Speculoos is a kind of Belgian cookie that is crunchy, caramelized, and similar in taste to gingerbread. And Speculoos Cookie Butter is absolutely amazing. My… Continue reading Coffee Bean Tea Leaf Cookie Butter Latte
Starbucks’ newest holiday drink this year is the Teavana Gingerbread Tea Latte. I’m not going to lie, I had a mini panic attack this year when I didn’t see my favorite gingerbread latte on any of the Starbucks holiday drink advertising. And I was relieved and excited to see that gingerbread is back on the… Continue reading Starbucks Gingerbread Tea Latte
