Starbucks Tripleshot Energy Extra Strength French Vanilla

Starbucks Tripleshot Energy Extra Strength French Vanilla tastes like milk. I mean, it just tastes like milk with some stuff in it. I couldn't really taste coffee or vanilla. 

French Vanilla is a flavor of ice cream so I couldn't have said it tasted like that at all but I mean, come on, what is this stuff?  

This works to keep you going but fails to be good.

 

Starbucks Tripleshot Energy Coffee Beverage Extra Strength Caramel

Starbucks Tripleshot Energy Coffee Beverage Extra Strength Caramel has no flavor of caramel. I find it to be thick and low in coffee. It's more like drinking bad chocolate milk.

I would give this one a pass. Doesn't give me energy and doesn't taste great. 
 

Starbucks Via Instant Italian Roast Coffee

If you don't have a hangover you may soon, and instant coffee is a good thing to have on hand when that happens. My version of a hangover is cleaning out my refrigerator, where I found this stuffed in back for some reason. 

Maybe I was drunk. 

 I got this Starbucks Via Instant Italian Roast Coffee after having a friend tell me he was having a bad day, and I wanted to have a coffee with him. It turned out we didn't need instant which is why it got packed away.

Anyway, this isn't bad coffee and can be drank black but would be better with cream and sugar. Most coffee you make is bitter if you don't know how to make it so this works well enough to be good. 

I'm a dark roast man to start with, and this is dark. It is the soothing black coffee that you may just need to get you through a hard day after too much drinking.
 

Starbucks Tripleshot Extra Strength Caffe Mocha

Starbucks Tripleshot Extra Strength Caffe Mocha isn't very coffee. I mean, I would have thought it would have tasted more like coffee but the flavor was more chocolate and milk than coffee. 

It wasn't bad in any way but it just wasn't very coffee. 
 

Starbucks Hot Chocolate

 Starbucks Hot Chocolate is a hot but slightly bitter drink that looks nothing like I thought it would. All the pictures show more topping. 

Anyway, this was not worth it, because I could have made better hot chocolate at home. I would say that it gained some flavor as I drank but none of that flavor was good. 

I had this with some cookies, and a good hot coffee would have gone better and had more body to it.  

I almost never go to Starbucks, but the whole boycott I ran into online told me that it was worth giving it a shot. Ticking off terrorists is a good thing and they have a hard on for this coffee house. However, drinking this makes me think it's because they shopped there.

Starbucks Snowman Cookie

 Starbucks Snowman Cookie is a soft frosted sugar cooky that is worthless for dipping. I mean, what the heck is this? This is a dipping kind of cookie and for the price I would have thought it would have gone better with hot chocolate. 

I would say these would be fine at a third the price and okay at a fourth, but what they want for them is just too much.

Starbucks Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf

 The people have spoken and they want more Starbucks so I tried the Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf. It was good, I don't know if it's Starbucks price good but it did taste like pumpkin spice. 

It's the perfect thing to have with coffee really. I would still have liked the spice flavor to be stronger but when is that not true. The contrast with coffee would still be strong. 

I have to admit that I would like to have more of this, but I'm fat and shouldn't eat this sort of thing. 

Starbucks Impossible™ Breakfast Sandwich

 The Starbucks Impossible Breakfast Sandwich is not vegan. I'll grant you that I'm also not a vegan and so this doesn't bother me, but I do try a good amount of vegan food.

The goal of vegan food is to be as good as the real deal so that people will give up eating meat. This fell well short of that goal, but I will admit I didn't mind it. I wouldn't really get it again, but it was okay. 

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino

 Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino needs less sugar and more spice and coffee. I mean, I used to love these things back in the day but I got them out of a bottle and they were not blended with ice. 

The ice makes them like ice cream and so a lot for fun for me, but it also cuts out the flavor and makes them less enjoyable. 

Drinking one of these had be running to the restroom as the sugar made me sick but you're probably not a fat man with my health issues so go drink away.

Starbucks 2023 Ice Pumpkin Spice Latte

 Starbucks 2023 Ice Pumpkin Spice Latte could use more of the spice. I mean, the way we put pumpkin spice in everything this time of year you would think it was spice from Dune and going to give us visions of the future and ever lasting life.

If that had been so I can say this drink will not give you anything, because I couldn't really taste the spice. I wouldn't get this again but I'm sure I'll get one next year anyway. 

Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin

Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is a featured fall offering that sounds really good. The muffin top is really good but once you eat past that part there is really little in the way of appeal to the pastry. 

I can't say it's bad. I can't say it's good. In a world were I would sit down and have one of these with strong coffee it would be something I would look forward to. To start my day I would say it needs more cream cheese.
 

Starbucks Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich

 Starbucks Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich sounds like a cure to a hangover. It sounds better than it tastes and it is small. Then at 500 calories its good with an apple or a banana. Have it with fruit is what I'm saying. 

To be fair, this is a moderately balanced half meal that would go very well with a fruit smoothie that isn't too sugary. It will get your body up an moving on a hard morning. 

We don't have hard mornings so much in LA. More hard afternoons where a cold smoothie, a cold brew, and generally anything cold will give you the get up and go for the rest of the day.  

Anyway, microwaved sandwich thing is okay. 

Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

 Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is a bold lie in a cup. It tasted like watery iced coffee with no espresso, almost no apple, and there was no crisp to be detected. 

I never thought of putting coffee in cider, it would give you that crisp flavor, but it have still not had that experience.  

I almost get the urge to try to make one of these at home and see what it would be like to honestly try this idea, because the idea is so poorly executed.  

 Fail!

Starbucks Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich

 Starbucks' Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich is missing its Oxford comma. It isn't large and will leave you wanting more, but then you just got a five dollar drink didn't you?

Coffee can make you fat so this sandwich is under four hundred calories. It's not bad but didn't stand out to me.

Starbucks Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte

 New at Starbucks is the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte. It does not say pumpkin spice, and it is not pumpkin spice in any way. thing tasted mostly like the green tea that I guess was Chai flavor. 

One tip is to mix it so that cream on top will give it more body. Still, this is kind of watery and not all that great. 

I have to say this one is something of a skip. 

Blonde Roast Starbucks Iced Coffee

 

Blonde Roast Starbucks Iced Coffee is what it says on the label. It's nothing more than cold, slightly bitter, coffee. There is no sugar and no cream. 

 

I have to assume that people will be adding things to this coffee. In truth, it has little flavor so add away. Just don't think that you'll be getting much of a coffee flavor from your drink.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte

 Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is the kind of thing you drink if you are very white. I don't know why that is, but the internet tells me so.

In any case, there is a solid amount of spice in this, I don't know about pumpkin, but there is enough spice to make it spice. I think there isn't enough coffee to make it latte. 

I would like my coffee drinks to be more coffee than sugar and spice.

Starbucks Doubleshot Energy Mocha

 Starbucks Doubleshot Energy Mocha is a fine drink to stay up on a cool day. If it were cold I would rather have a Monster and if it were hot a hot coffee. I live in California so most of the time these just don't hit the spot. They also don't taste much like mocha but the flavor you do get is nice.

Not  a bad energy drink, but it's the kind of thing you need to be in the mood for.

Starbucks Ham and Cheese Croissant

There is nothing like finding out what kind of food they serve at Starbucks when you're waiting for the office to open so you can pick up uniforms. The Starbucks Ham and Cheese Croissant isn't going to make you feel satisfied but it will taste very good. 

Eat one with a salad will you? Why am I talking to myself. 

Starbucks Triple Mocha Frappuccino

There is nothing Triple about the Mocha in this Starbucks Triple Mocha Frappuccino. I don't even think that should be called a double mocha. It's just a mocha at the end of the day. Thing gave me a brain freeze.
