Keep it and bring back the Carmel cloud. I am here for the new red velvet cake that they have, though.

I'd try a small one...so i wouldn't feel as bad about puking it up everywhere.


LOL I do like pistachios and pistachio ice cream, but not sure how I'd enjoy it as a coffee.

I'm drinking an iced one right now! It's pretty good but I don't think the pistachio flavor is very strong.

It was good. Had it yesterday when I saw it on the menu in the app. Glad I scrolled through instead of ordering my usual Almondmilk Honey Flat White

I've had pistachios maybe twice in my life and don't even eat them like that but I know it's good... that nutty, toasty flavor would blend well with coffee.

I've never touched Starbucks for years. All I remember was their Frappuccino-type drinks have a lot of FAT in them.

Drinking those you will gain like 10 pounds or more. It's not normal MILK. They put something ten times fattening in that drink.

I managed a Starbucks when I was younger. Ruined the experience for me permanently. I will say they are super clean and super uniformly run, which is a credit to the company, but it’s all just a bunch of overpriced sugar in oversized portions. YMMV.

That's been the issue I've had with their recent offerings. The marketing sounds better than it actually tastes.

My Starbucks bill has been darn nearly zero since March 2020.

That sugar my goodness...

I be having to adjust it on the app. I am just not into sweets. Today instead of Starbucks, I just bought a plain cup of coffee from McDs

Starbucks barista here. I’m on lunch right now. :ROFLMAO:

only a handful of people have ordered this at my Starbucks today.

I like the frap better. The syrup is kinda sweet, but I add 2 extra pumps (just my preference).

I really like pistachio ice cream. But not sure about pistachio and coffee.
I tried the frap the other day with coconut milk. I didn't like it. It was creamy but no real distinct pistachio flavor. Won't buy it again. Just a sweet creamy frap.

I tried the pistachio latte last week and didn’t care for it. Then again, my normal barista was out so this one could have just been unskilled but I won’t be ordering it again to find out

I tried the latte. It was ok. Nothing to brag about. Really didn't have any pistachio flavor to me.

I worked there for about a year. They use regular, Dean's brand Whole milk from the grocery store--specific brand may vary per region. There were literally times that we ran out of milk and they had me walk to the grocery store and buy milk straight off the shelf. It's fattening because the whipped cream is real –– not cool whip. They also add a stabilizing syrup (made of sugar) to keep the ice from separating; this is why frappuccinos never get watery even once they've melted. That's on top of the flavor syrups (which are also pure sugar).
