I don’t usually like drinking coffee or too much sweet drinks or food cause of the caffeine, high sugar and not to mention the ridiculous calories in these drinks. Nonetheless my sister and I went to Starbucks to try their drinks and food that were only sold in a certain period of time during Christmas season and plus, she was only two stickers away to getting her 2011 Starbucks planner.
I ordered one of their Christmas drinks which was Praline Mocha Frappe. It had the taste of Mocha flavor and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. A very sweet and cooling drink that has a chocolatey taste in it.
One of her favorite beverages in Starbucks is the Toffee nut frappe. There are small toffee nut bits. She says that the toffee nut gives a taste caramel sweetness. I’m guessing it’s the same taste as the caramel frappe but with sprinkles of tiny toasted nuts on top that has some buttery toffee taste.
The Gingerbread cookie was in the shape of a polar bear. I was kind of hesitant in eating the poor polar bear ha-ha but It looked so good I had to bite the head off first. The cookie was tasty, especially the hard icing part but was too sweet and not a good combination with the frappe. I guess it would go better with be hot coffee or maybe their tea products.
The toffee nut loaf was good and sweet, especially the nut that tasted like toffee candy. It tasted like a fusion of cake and brownie, just better.
My sister was able to get her Starbucks planner; her first choice was the wood variety but was not available so she chose the velvet one. The other variety available is the metal. These planners are only available during the Christmas season and you have to drink a certain amount of drinks and collect stickers to attain the said planner. Not only do you get the planner, you will also have helped the Starbucks foundation Spark Hope.
Starbucks is really a great place to hang out with your friends if you want to drink coffee and hangout and talk about stuff. The ambience and music is really nice, especially this Christmas season were Christmas songs are played and Christmas decors are shown. There’s nothing like feeling the Christmas spirit with some Christmas beverages and food.
