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!

@Anotherusername2024

So I would get a blonde iced latte. Vanilla syrup, white mocha sauce and cream cold form. MUST be served with a flat lid, otherwise you don’t get any foam when you drink.

just in case you weren’t aware, if you are a Starbucks member you get syrups etc for free. So when ordering if you break down your order it will be cheaper. So instead of ordering an iced white mocha. Order an iced latte and ask them to add white mocha. It saves 70p 😂

I did thank you the Starbucks gold member is very worth having I often order the basic and then add in :-)

The cold drink sounds lovely I will report back! 😆

Flat white if its first thing in the morning.
Decaf Americano with cold milk if its mid morning
Americano over ice with milk on a hot day

Double shot Cappuccino no chocolate on top or a latte, depending on how milky I fancy it.

Interested in this thread?

Oat flat white but I only buy coffee at work where it’s subsidised because I object to paying £3+ for a coffee!

Single shot skinny cappuccino with chocolate 😋

Sugar free caramel latte... hot in winter, iced in summer

LibertyPrime · 20/08/2024 19:25

Usually hot choc, and choc muffin or cuppa tea and muffin

LizzeyBenett · 20/08/2024 19:51

Flat white but i hate Starbucks it always tastes burnt or something to me

ShyCrab · 20/08/2024 20:12

Flat white, mostly. Sometimes a small extra hot latte. Someone told me once to always ask for drinks extra hot and I have since

Menstum · 20/08/2024 20:19

A cup of coffee please.

useitorlose · 20/08/2024 20:20

I don't drink coffee, so tall hot chocolate with soy milk, no cream. I am known all over the town! Even at the airport a few weeks ago, a barista from my nearest Starbucks is now working in Starbucks in Departures airside, I didn't even have to say what I wanted because he told me 🤣

Aworldofmyown · 20/08/2024 20:21

Cold brew with Creme Brulee foam.

SwedishEdith · 20/08/2024 20:25

I just ask for a black coffee now (no sugar). Used to be able to say Americano but got sick of being asked if I wanted milk.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 20/08/2024 20:36

Chai latte or a black americano with an extra shot. Lemon tart if we're adding cake.

wildthingsinthenight · 18/11/2024 20:25

For those not liking Starbucks coffee..I'm with you. But if you ever have to go ask for the blonde roast.
It is MUCH nicer

RainbowZebraWarrior · 18/11/2024 20:28

Lactose free skinny mocha for me.

I used to own a small coffee shop. You wouldn't believe the amount of different milks etc I had to stock and how much wastage there was. Guessing Costa and Starbucks didn't have that issue.

CrocusBluebell · 18/11/2024 20:31

Flat white

Lovelysummerdays · 18/11/2024 20:35

Very boring latte. I had some lovely earl grey tea today though, made with loose leaf tea served in a pot with a little egg timer so you know when to take the leaves out. A cheese scone as big as my palm with homemade jam. It made me feel very happy and that perhaps the world isn’t entirely doomed.

Not to derail the thread but does anyone else feel like coffee sort of embodies utilitarian necessity, I need the caffiene tbh, and tea (when done well) is good for the soul?

Encanta · 18/11/2024 20:37

Regular iced coffee with skinny milk, no syrup.

For which the cafe near work now charges €5.25 😬

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 18/11/2024 20:42

Chain coffee shops - I'll have a hazelnut latte, amazing local Italian deli - I'll have an espresso macchiato

FrangipaniBlue · 18/11/2024 21:04

My go to chain coffee is a chai latte with a double espresso shot and nutmeg sprinkles

But if I'm in an independent cafe/restaurant type place that has a bar I have a latte with either a Baileys, Disaronno or Advocaat measure Grin

Sortumn · 18/11/2024 21:07

A black Americano. In a small cup please, not a bucket.
