Fraps. Even if you don't like coffee, just get it. They have so little coffee, it's more like a smoothie than a coffee drink.

Caramel Fraps are the best. Cream based fraps are just plain unhealthy and ultra sugary. I feel like getting a heart attack when I drank my strawberries & creme frap a few weeks ago.

Hot cocoa or the fruit smoothies.

But those are even more overpriced than the freaking coffee.
Just make your own hot cocoa at home and buy a mug.

Well, how many people really go to Starbucks to get a cup of black coffee? Although, I've heard they bought some coffee brewing machine company, so maybe they will make better coffee now.

I love the smell of coffee but I hate the taste.

Order this and you won't regret it: Soy chai latte.

Don't get a vanilla bean frap - you'll enjoy a large vanilla milkshake from Mcdonalds more for much less cost.

They should change their name from Starbucks to Fivebucks as that's how expensive their friggin coffee is getting to be.
