Today I got...
(sorry I didn't update yesterday.. I wasn't on the computer until really late) So today I ordered an Espresso Frappuccino. This was great! I wasn't expecting it to be any different than it was. It was simply espresso, but icy and cold. It was a lot stronger than the coffee frappuccino - so unless you love that strong coffee taste, this drink isn't for you.
That's all! Thanks for all your suggestions!

Day 14: Iced Berry Chai
I drove to Starbucks today! After taking the first of my two hour driving lessons, I drove down Magdalena, taking the long route to Starbucks - a smarter decision I thought, avoiding Foothill Expressway because I found myself too nervous. Today I got... This drink was.. surprising. I expected the Iced Berry Chai to be a little more fruity and a little less.. spicy? I guess that was just the "chai" part of the drink. The first sip was a little strong, but the rest was actually really good! I think any stronger though, and it would have been too much. I was thinking of ordering an Iced Chai latte next time, but I have a feeling it will only be stronger, but not with the satisfying berry flavor. So even though I was pleased with the iced berry chai, I think I'll have to pass on something similar next time. Thanks Sanjana for suggesting this!

Day 13: Iced Latte
Today I got...
Just a simple Iced Latte. Sometimes your just in the mood for something simple and soothing. I love this drink! Sometimes it tastes a little odd... if it's not shaken together, it can be a tad bitter. But today's was perfect! Not too bitter and not too sweet- jut right!
I think the key is ordering it with "light ice." Otherwise they fill the cup up with ice all the way to the top! And there is almost no room for the drink itself in it. So when I order this drink, or any iced drink for that matter, I always get it light ice- I definitely suggest doing this!

Day 12: Iced Mocha
Help! I'm running out of new drinks to try and I would love some ideas! I know just what I will get tomorrow (you'll have to wait and see!) and after that I am almost out! Any recommendations?
Today I got..
Just a simple iced mocha.I was in the mood for something simple, and this was it! But really though.. it tasted just like chocolate milk! I could have made that at home myself easily without paying about $3 for the drink. So I suppose if you like chocolate milk and don't mind paying a little extra... this would be the drink for you!

Day 11: caffeine deprived
(this is from yesterday - I forgot to update!)
In Rancho shopping center, Starbucks is right next to my family's favorite restaurant Brian's. My mom and sister and I go there quite often after church on Sunday morning, and we've become quite good friends of Brian himself. This makes each visit just a little more pleasent, as we are warmly greeted when we walk in the door. Waiters and waitresses have gotten to know us as well. My family tends to go there on major occasions, like my sister's graduation. On my birthday, my friend Haley and I walked there, and I was surprised with a large sundae for the occasion.
I've grown attached to this place for breakfast lunch and dinner.
On wednesday morning, my mom and I decided to take a break from Starbucks and fit in a trip to Brian's quickly before school. So sorry guys, no Starbucks for me that day. But I will get back to it shortly!

Day 11: Passion Iced Tea Lemonade
Today I got...
Since it's finally spring, I was in the mood for something refreshing. The passion ice tea lemonade is just that! I got it unsweetened. I've gotten it sweetened before, it's just WAY too sweet, like extremely sugary. So I ordered it unsweetened, and it was great! It's really refreshing, and although it wouldn't be the drink to order when you need a caffeine-boost, it's tasty and refreshing!

Day 10: Raspberry Mocha
I never thought there would be peanuts in a Starbucks stone. My mom often buys a Classic Coffee Cake in the morning, and today, I was tempted to try some. Knowing there was some sort of nut in it, we asked what type it was. Surprisingly the lady was unable to answer the question. Being allergic to peanuts, I constantly have to question if the food I am about to eat has peanuts or peanut oil. My friends look at me with exasperated looks saying "of COURSE this doesn't have nuts Shannon!" But, you know, it doesn't seem silly to me at all having to ask constantly if my food has peanuts. ( I even carry an epi pen!) Anywho, disappointed (and maybe a little paranoid) I couldn't try the coffee cake just in case. :(
Today I got...
Each morning when I walk into school with my new drink of the day, my friends suggest Starbucks drinks for me to try sometime soon. The day I brought my London Fog Tea Latte to school, two of my close friends raved about the raspberry mocha. Just as they said, this drink was delicious! I guess it really depends on whether you like the taste of raspberry or not, since the flavor is so strong. But if you do, I definitely recommend this.
