Best Things To Order From Starbucks – Mishry

Love it, or hate it, Starbucks is everywhere. And more often than not, you do end up enjoying a cup of coffee with a small snack on the side. But, not everything is worth your hard earned money.

Team Mishry tried and tested multiple bestseller beverages from Starbucks over a few weeks from multiple outlets and here’s what’s worth your buck.

Our top recommendations along with their prices are mentioned below-

What can you customize?

• Size: You can choose the size depending on your need – Pico, Tall, Grande and Venti.
• Type of milk: You can also choose the type of milk you need. They offer various types of plant based milks.
• Syrups and sauces: Add caramel, hazelnut, mocha, vanilla or more.
• Customize it with an extra shot of espresso or whipped cream.

Warm beverages are like a hug in a mug. Here are the best things to order from Starbucks from their beverage section – 

1. The Classic – Cappuccino

If all else fails, order their cappuccino. This one has a bold flavor of coffee, natural sweetness of milk and a thick foam on top. Pair it with a croissant, sandwich or some biscottis. 

Nutritional Info: 94.5 Kcal/180 ml

Price: Rs 240/- (Tall)

2. Caffe Americano 

No milk, no sugar, just pure, unadulterated COFFEE. A shot of espresso in hot water and no frills. Meant for black coffee lovers who don’t like diluting their coffee experience in tons of sugar and cream. Pair it with a snack or cookie of your choice.

Nutritional Info: No Calories

Price: Rs 230/- (Tall)

3. White Chocolate Mocha

For some this may sound like a sugar-fest, but believe us when we say, it’s not. Loved by the younger audience more than the seasoned, *cough* snooty, coffee lovers, we would still ask you to give it a try. Smooth espresso, some white chocolate sauce and steamed milk. What’s not to like? 

It is best to pair this beverage with a light savory snack.

Nutritional Info: 395Kcal/354 ml

Price: Rs 335/- (Tall)

4. Signature Hot Chocolate 

Comforting on a cold wintery evening or morning (we are not judging!), their hot chocolate is a decadent, full-bodied beverage that pairs so beautifully with a biscotti. You can add sweet syrups if you want to make it even more sinful, but we would advise against it. 

Nutritional Info: 123Kcal.180 ml

Price: Rs 180/- (Picco)

5. Season Specials – Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Unlike what the name may suggest, there is nothing ‘pumpkin-like’ about this! When and IF you get your hands on this during the fall/autumn menu, we highly recommend this beverage. The warming notes of cinnamon, ginger and cloves is what makes it stand apart. 

Best paired with a decadent dessert.

Price: Not available currently

6. Java Chip Frappuccino – The OG

How to pack joy in a cup? Turn it into a Java Chip Frappuccino. Milk, ice, mocha sauce and chips, coffee, whipped cream equals happiness! Not meant for those who are looking for a strong coffee. If you like little choco chips in-between sips, this is what you should order.

Nutritional Info: 391 Kcal/354 ml

Price: Rs 275/- (Tall)

7. Caramel Frappuccino

A bit of a sugar-overdose, the Caramel Frappuccino is a winner if you like the combination of coffee and sweet caramel sauce with just a hint of saltiness. Best paired with a savory snack. 

Nutritional Info: 364 Kcal/354 ml

Price: Rs 280/- (tall)

8. White Mocha Caramel Cold Brew

This is a heavenly mix of slow steeped coffee with milk and white chocolate! We love it for the smooth coffee flavor in sync with the sweetness from white chocolate.

Nutritional Info: 193 Kcal/354ml

Price: Rs 345/- (Tall)
