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)
9. Coffee Frappuccino
A classic, no fail order is their version of a ‘cold coffee’. Ice, milk, coffee and sugar. You can’t go wrong with this one.
Nutritional Info: 208 Kcal/354 ml
Price: Rs 245/- (Tall)
