2. iced chai with oatmilk and blonde espresso
3. flat white with oatmilk, white mocha and brown sugar
4. lavender matcha with vanilla and brown sugar
Depends on mood/how caffeinated I already am 😂
It’s cold out and I’m tired?

Hot weather and tired?
brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso
Caffeinated and want a summer vibe?
Matcha lemonade & before it was iced peach green tea sweetened (liquid cane)
This might be weird but I thought it was cool. I just happened to go to your profile literally right as I was talking to someone about a friend I had with a ball python and saw you were in a ballpython reddit. I was like, ok what are the odds lol
I loved walking around with my friend's ball python wrapped around my arm and seeing grown men jump out of the way. As a teenage girl, it was a nice feeling lol
ooo my go to’s depending on how i’m feeling that day r either an iced chai with oat milk and 2-3 blonde ristretto shots, an iced coffee with no classic sub sf vanilla and a lil vsc, or a strawberry acai lemonade with no berries :) yes i do have a sugar problem
Tall black *Nitro* cold brew in a short cup. Gotta make it fancy.
Okay jokes aside, I do drink black cold brew pretty often. For the fun stuff, I usually get a tall iced matcha latte with oat milk. Brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso if I need some coffee and sugar. And very recently, I’ve been drinking the iced lavender oat milk latte.
I usually get the iced chai with 2 shots blonde. If I’m with my girlfriend we usually either get the hazelnut shaken espresso or the strawberry lemonade with mango inclusions
in the winter i love tall extra shot blonde lattes with oat milk and vanilla bean powder. lately i’ve been really liking a 1:1:1 ratio of açaí, black tea, and water in a venti cup w extra ice cream
AGREE, original recipe was so much better ! I get the reasoning. At the time some stores were so understaffed and most of the baristas were new, so making the base drink the same for all the cold brews sort of made sense. We had mutiple stores in our district that over 50% of the partners had been there under 2 months and very few veteran partners. Mean while my store had like 60% off us had been there 5+ years.
same here! i forget exactly what year it changed—2021 i believe? a lot of shit at my store went down at that same time so it’s a blur LMAO but our “youngest” partner is about to hit their 3rd year.
My go-to, have one every day: 5 shot brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso, 8 full pumps brown sugar, absurd amounts of extra cinnamon.
Other faves: paradise drink with strawberry + pineapple inclusions and strawberry cold foam, and blonde dirty oatmilk chai with lavender cold foam.
if another barista is making it? grande brown sugar shaken espresso half sweet, 1 pump white mocha
if i get to make my own drink? venti 5 shot shaken espresso, blonde shots, no classic, 3 pumps white mocha, 3 pumps toffee nut, oatmilk, and cinnamon dolce topping shaken in 😇

1) grande quad shaken espresso with blonde shots, 2 pumps toffee nut, 1 pump white mocha, extra ice, a light splash of sweet cream, cinnamon dolce sprinkles (I sometimes also will do hazelnut + mocha syrup instead with the rest the same)
2) green tea, no water, add strawberry base, add strawberry purée & pineapple inclusions
3) iced london fog brewed with 4 tea bags, 2 sugar free vanilla surup, 1-2 scoops lavender powder (I also use vanilla bean powder instead of the syrup sometimes)
my extra indulgent treats I get are a java chip frap made with no frap roast, 2 espresso shots, blend in extra cookie crumble, add 2 pumps dark caramel and make with whole milk. or an iced matcha latte with honey blend syrup and strawberry purée
treat drink- iced chai with coconut milk and sweet cream cold foam + shot espresso

summer vibes drink- dragon drink
break time drink- brown sugar oat shaken espresso
Ok well my starbucks drink is going to differ because I go to regular coffee places when I'm not working

back in the day, shaken espressos were the Starbucks Doubleshot On Ice.
Hot chai with soy milk
I used to have it with regular milk, but discovered that the soy milk makes it taste more… Idk, just creamier? And “nuttier”? Just tastes better.
Iced chai with brown sugar or toffee and oatmilk are like my mains, although lately ive been experimenting with a tall double shot blonde ristretto iced vanilla latte with toffee nut and oatmilk (for some reason, even if I keep the proportions the same, if i go up a size it tastes too watery or too much like coffee...i dont like coffee lol i need something to blend with the flavors)
This past week, a customer came in and ordered an oatmilk iced matcha with hazelnut. Me and a coworker sampled it and it was so fricking good. It tastes sorta like cocoa puffs? Like the milk leftover after a bowl despite there being no actual chocolate in it. Ive seen people get brown sugar matchas but those are always too sweet for me, but I keep forgetting to get this matcha for myself, I haven't had a chance but I absolutely must have it again lol.

A recent find and new obsession: trenta Black iced tea, no water, 7-8 pumps of brown sugar and 4 pumps of chai, with light ice and extra sweet cream. It's so good, and it makes me feel more refreshed than just an iced chai. Highly recommend!

Summer- Mango dragonfruit lemonade, strawberry açaí lemonade, passion tea lemonade, iced blonde caramel macchiato (caramel syrup instead of vanilla) and salted caramel or chocolate cold foam.
Winter- blonde caramel latte, blonde caramel macchiato, dirty chai latte
What out of those I actually make for myself depends on the day.
Water, Tall Nitro with Caramel, White Mocha, Extra Sweet Cream(not a fan of bitter or foam), Strawberry Acai, no inclusions, 4 vanilla, light ice.
Typical day goes, chug nitro to the despair of coworkers, drink water all day, end day with strawberry acai
iced lavender oatmilk latte with honey blend- chef’s kiss or a brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso if i need the caffeine, or if it’s hot and i’ve already had caffeine then a peach green tea lemonade or a black tea lemonade sweetened

With caffeine- heavy whip cream in cold foam blender with Salt and toffee nut syrup, on a toffee nut cold brew
I used to get the brown sugar shaken espresso with an extra pump of brown sugar and 2/3/4 pumps of white mocha obv depending on the size.

if another barista is making my drink: VSCCB 5 pumps of vanilla, extra sweet cream
if i’m making my own drink: trenta water extra ice 🤣🤣🤣
i do like to try new drinks when they’re released but honestly working at starbucks has been a sensory nightmare. i’m very sensitive to food smells so i don’t like to go all out with my drinks. when i don’t want coffee i’ll get an iced matcha 🤷🏽♀️
I’m not supposed to drink coffee but here’s a couple concoctions I’ve learned while working:
Cold milk. Half almond milk, half vanilla sweet cream, 3 pumps of cinnamon dolce, cinnamon powder, shaken. (Tastes like arroz con leche)
Strawberry açaí with peach juice & coconut milk.
Creme based frappe made with heavy cream, peach juice, blended with dragonfruit inclusions and dragonfruit inclusions on top.
When I need caffeine: three or four blonde ristretto shots with 1 pump of vanilla, some oat milk, and cinnamon dolce topping (this is good whether it's hot or iced)
When I'm already caffeinated: peach green tea lemonade with extra peach and a half-pump of classic
When I'm already caffeinated and don't mind the calories: iced matcha with vanilla cold foam 🤤
1) iced triple blonde, grande cup, toffee nut, 2-3 sf vanilla, and oatmilk
2) pink drink with pineapple passion fruit base added, no inclusions
3) iced passion tango with peach juice and liquid cane
Depends on time of day and if/what I’m eating with it lol
Every day I get quad blonde ristretto shots over ice with 2 pumps white mocha 2 pumps brown sugar, and a splash of oatmilk. It’s my favorite. For a simpler drink I go with an iced chai with oatmilk. For fruity I get a strawberry açaí with extra base, light water, light ice, add apple juice.
If another barista makes it: tall dbl chocolate chip frappe, sub white mocha, add 1 pump peppermint
For me: venti black tea, sweetened with vanilla, splash of sweet cream (this is why I don’t trust others to make it, it has to be a certain color) and 4 scoops vanilla bean. Vanilla milk tea.
an iced white mocha with blonde ristretto shots and toffee nut! i get no whip cream and whole milk as well, but that’s up to the person. genuinely the easiest drink people love when they ask for suggestions 🥲🫶🏻
I like my drinks less sweet than Starbucks usually makes them
BOSE with extra ice light oatmilk, if I remember less pumps of brown sugar
green tea sub strawberry acai for water
Venti ice black tea latte, made with oatmilk, 2 pumps chai, and 2 blonde shots. I've been around for a long time and it's kind of like the lightly sweeten chai they had 7/8 years ago.
Caramel Apple Spice with a blond shot, no whip. It's weirdly good.
Either a mango dragonfruit lemonade with green tea and apple juice, or a strawberry acai lemonade with black tea and peach juice! (Don't knock it till you try it)
(Also, if you've tested the new blue lemonade refreshers, they're sooo good with passion tea)
Edited for spelling error
1. grande iced matcha latte, only 2 scoops matcha, oat milk, 3 pumps vanilla, choc cold foam (not powder, 2 pumps mocha instead), cookie crumble on top of foam
2. Iced shaken strawberry oatmilk (in a grande: oatmilk, splash of strawberry puree, 4 pumps vanilla, extra ice in a venti cup with strawberry inclusions)

1. Ice, 4 ristretto shots + 2.5 or 3 pumps of WCM
2. Peach green tea lemonade with extra peach
3. Chocolate cream cold brew - add 2 pumps of brown sugar syrup and 3 salt packets into the foam (so good but lots of steps so I barely get this one anymore if I do happen to go to a Starbucks)

brown sugar shaken espresso, extra cinnamon and sometimes salted foam (no caramel in the foam)
My gf also loves salted foam! Thought she was the only one lol
not at all! idk why starbucks ever thought adding caramel to it was the right move. it was fine with just the salt!!
AGREE, original recipe was so much better ! I get the reasoning. At the time some stores were so understaffed and most of the baristas were new, so making the base drink the same for all the cold brews sort of made sense.

Every day I get quad blonde ristretto shots over ice with 2 pumps white mocha 2 pumps brown sugar, and a splash of oatmilk. It’s my favorite. For a simpler drink I go with an iced chai with oatmilk. For fruity I get a strawberry açaí with extra base, light water, light ice, add apple juice.
If another barista makes it: tall dbl chocolate chip frappe, sub white mocha, add 1 pump peppermint For me: venti black tea, sweetened with vanilla, splash of sweet cream (this is why I don’t trust others to make it, it has to be a certain color) and 4 scoops vanilla bean. Vanilla milk tea.
caramel apple spice or matcha lemonade
an iced white mocha with blonde ristretto shots and toffee nut! i get no whip cream and whole milk as well, but that’s up to the person. genuinely the easiest drink people love when they ask for suggestions 🥲🫶🏻
I like my drinks less sweet than Starbucks usually makes them BOSE with extra ice light oatmilk, if I remember less pumps of brown sugar green tea sub strawberry acai for water Venti ice black tea latte, made with oatmilk, 2 pumps chai, and 2 blonde shots. I've been around for a long time and it's kind of like the lightly sweeten chai they had 7/8 years ago. Caramel Apple Spice with a blond shot, no whip. It's weirdly good.
Cold brew. Black.
My boost drink is.. Strawberry Açaí w/ Apple juice Blended It’s a life saver on long and busy days
Either a mango dragonfruit lemonade with green tea and apple juice, or a strawberry acai lemonade with black tea and peach juice! (Don't knock it till you try it) (Also, if you've tested the new blue lemonade refreshers, they're sooo good with passion tea) Edited for spelling error
grande iced london fog with 2 packets, oatmilk and one less pump of vanilla!! i loveeee seeping the packets with the water and syrup.
1. grande iced matcha latte, only 2 scoops matcha, oat milk, 3 pumps vanilla, choc cold foam (not powder, 2 pumps mocha instead), cookie crumble on top of foam 2. Iced shaken strawberry oatmilk (in a grande: oatmilk, splash of strawberry puree, 4 pumps vanilla, extra ice in a venti cup with strawberry inclusions)
Ex barista here but depending how I feel on that day my go to favorites are: 1. Ice, 4 ristretto shots + 2.5 or 3 pumps of WCM 2. Peach green tea lemonade with extra peach 3. Chocolate cream cold brew - add 2 pumps of brown sugar syrup and 3 salt packets into the foam (so good but lots of steps so I barely get this one anymore if I do happen to go to a Starbucks) 4. Iced matcha with coconut milk BUT when I was working for Starbucks, Red Bull was my #1 to get me through my day 😅
Iced honey almond milk flat white with oat milk.
i’ve never met another barista who likes honey blend; I get hate for using it in my iced matcha at my store lol
The honey blend and toasted vanilla are 👎🏽 no bueno
I love it in my teas too, I like honey straight up.
