Well since there is a Starbucks on almost every street corner, I decided to see what they had to offer. I looked at their menu with a puzzled look. Without a doubt I'm a heavy coffee drinker however my coffee drinking experience did not prepare for such a list of beverages.

They have an assortment of Ice coffees, Mochas, capachinos, hot chocolates, Jumbo this and tall that etc.. So I have no idea what they offer.

I guess I'm looking for something sweet and hot that goes down easy. It most also offer me that caffeine rush that I like for my morning commute.

Any good suggestions?

I usually just get a latte; their specialty drinks rather suck, imo. In the summer time I usually get an iced latte. Their coffee really isn't that great, so I usually go to one of our local shops.

if you want a quick caffeine fix, get a double Espresso and add two packs of sugar.

Stay the hell away from their brewed coffee. It's fvcking nasty.

Personally I like their mochas, soy lattes, and mocha malt frappuccinos. Don't care much for anything else they have.

Their breakfast blend is about the only one that I can drink. If I just want coffee, I go to the local bakery. The Iced Caramel Machiatto is very good.
