What is your coffee shop order?

Just wondering what you order when you go to the coffee shop? The easiest one for me is Starbucks where I'm located and there is a drive through ... I know local is probably better etc but unfortunately it just doesn't work for me

Currently I'm a white mocha with caramel syrup no whip cream and two extra shots of blonde coffee on the rare occasion I might have a cake with it I currently love the white chocolate caramel blondie.

My husband is just a americano with room for hot milk man.

No reason to this post other than I'm nosy and maybe it'll give me some ideas!

Espresso, double espresso or black americano. If I am having coffee I want to taste good coffee. Not milk, sugar or flavouring.

From a good independent or made at home.

Black filter (or occasionally long black) from the independent hipster place round the corner.

I'll get a flat white if my only option is Starbucks as their coffee is too nasty to drink without milk (sorry, massive coffee snob I know 😂)

espresso macchiato doppio at work in Germany; flat white when visiting the UK. I have a particular weakness for the coconut milk one in Pret.

Interested in this thread?

Decaf flat white. I used to be a latte girl and still go for that sometimes but find it too milky these days.
If it's breakfast time, an almond croissant would be treat of choice. Any other time of day I'd go for millionaires shortbread.

spikeandbuffy24 · 19/08/2024 15:50

Depends on the season!
Pumpkin spice Frappuccino with coffee
Eggnog latte
Java chip Frappuccino

Shortkiwi · 19/08/2024 15:51

Only go to independents unless on motorway and then Costa. Oat milk decaf cappuccino, extra hot!

RaraRachael · 19/08/2024 15:51

@BakedBeansforabrain 😅
One of our local cafes puts quite a lot of mustard in their cheese scones so I'm not so keen on theirs

mamaduckbone · 19/08/2024 15:52

I'm with the pp who said she'd rather eat her calories than drink them. No cappu-frappu-caramel-lattes here!

givemushypeasachance · 19/08/2024 15:52

Filter coffee if available, black. Americano if not, also black.

Occasionally whatever random flavoured thing is new just to try something different, like a white chocolate hazelnut mocha or whatever, but I consider that to be more like having a milkshake kind of drink than a coffee!

EnergyEmoji · 19/08/2024 15:53

Latte for me, or hot chocolate if I'm feeling indulgent.
Oh, and one of those caramel shortbread squares.

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 19/08/2024 15:54

I'm boring, I just have a skinny latte.

A new Starbucks has just opened up near me, so I've been visiting a lot. My god, the amount of delivery orders they get!! About 2 big deliveries for every in-person order. More than McDonalds. It mostly seems to be pretty coloured icy drinks with cream on top. Don't they just melt and go horrible by the time they get there? And who has all this money? So many questions

TorturedParentsDepartment · 19/08/2024 15:55

Vanilla latte made with coconut milk.

ItsMintUpNorth · 19/08/2024 15:56

If I'm getting Starbucks (only place near work) it's an Iced brown sugar oat shaken espresso...bit of a mouthful to say but is an actual menu item not some crazy concoction I've made Grin.

Anywhere local to home then either an oat cappucino or flat white depending on my mood.

BebbanburgIsMine · 19/08/2024 15:56

An Americano without milk.

RaraRachael · 19/08/2024 15:56

To be honest I hate all the waiting around for fancy coffee orders. I grew up in the 70s when you either ordered tea or coffee. I do have fun giving a different name each time I'm asked though.

Wahine24 · 19/08/2024 15:57

Bucketful of black coffee please ☕

SonicTheHodgeheg · 19/08/2024 15:57

Skinny decaf caramel latte here

Firenzeflower · 19/08/2024 15:59

Decaf americano with oat milk.

ShazzaF · 19/08/2024 15:59

I go for a latte unless they serve them in those annoying long glasses, in which case I go for a flat white or maybe a cappuccino if the mood takes me Shock

SecondFavouriteDinosaur · 19/08/2024 16:00

Double espresso. Milky drinks are 🤢

BeachRide · 19/08/2024 16:00

Earl Grey tea with a splash of skimmed milk (so sue me). Hot.

Bulkypeepants · 19/08/2024 16:01

Americano, milk and a cake that is different to the cake I had the previous visit

mrssunshinexxx · 19/08/2024 16:02

Decaf oat milk latte with vanilla extra hot

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 19/08/2024 16:03

Oat milk flat white and whatever gluten free option is on offer

afaloren · 19/08/2024 16:10

Chai latte, sometimes iced, and at the moment with pumpkin spice syrup. 🎃
