    I have been so good at avoiding Starbucks lately, but now that Pumpkin Spice is officially back, I'm being lured back in. :P My all-time favorite Starbucks drink is a nonfat Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

    What about you ladies? What do you find irresistable at Starbucks (or your local coffee shop that you frequent)?

    I haven't had starbucks in ages either, but I also got a nonfat pumpkin spice this weekend :)

     

    I used to love their honey latte, it was so good!

    Ditto. I usually only go in to get a pumpkin spice latte. My SIL loves the salted caramel apple cider, but I find it's a bit on the sweet side for me (although still pretty tasty).

    @Pumpkin0302: Ooooh honey latte? I never even knew they had that!

    @Mrs Sarah McK: DH tried the Salted Cider one time and spit it out- lol. He hated it!

    @Mrs Sarah McK: The Carmel Apple Spice is my FAVORITE! mmmm.... 

    I actually just found the recipe today on Pinterest. You should send it to your SIL. This is going to save me so much money!

    @tinylittlebird: I also love the Caramel Apple Cider, but PP is right that there used to be a salted one that was pretty nasty. haha

    I love the caramel apple cider, anything with peppermint, and I love the pumpkin spice latte.  Since I am pregnant this fall/winter, I know that I won't be able to have as many of these drinks as I would usually like, but I heard from a friend that they make decaf pumpkin spice lattes which makes me SO excited!

    @tinylittlebird: She actually has all the stuff to make it at home! Last winter she was going almost every day, and finally decided it would be cheaper to buy the bottles and make it herself. She's convinced they do something extra to it, though, because she swears it never tasted exactly right (but good enough that she stopped making a daily trip to SB).

    I used to love the Peppermint Mochas. Now I just like regular coffee with no additional flavorings, and Starbucks actually is only good if you DO add in all the flavorings, so I don't really drink Starbucks drinks anymore. Does anyone else think their regular brew always tastes... burnt? It took me going to like 5 different Starbucks and thinking that to realize my local one wasn't just burning it. It really does taste that way.

    @ohheavenlyday :  ya i totally can't stand the taste of their regular coffee!  i have to twice the amount of splenda if i do get it than i would anywhere else.  ironically though, we buy starbucks coffee to make at home and it tastes fine.  i think starbucks cafes just make it too strong maybe?

    Venti soy light espresso frappuccino with sugar-free vanilla syrup.

    That said my favourite coffee of all is from a small local coffee shop who do the BEST coffee beans in Scotland (they deal direct with growers and roast on their own premises) and they do a fabulous rose and black pepper mocha which is to die for.

    Nonfat chai.  Yummmm.  Around the holidays I like to get a peppermint hot chocolate.  I am not a coffee drinker obviously but I still LOVE Starbucks.

    @ohheavenlyday: I totally agree. I also like just regular coffee with a splash of creamer, but I don't like Starbucks brew. I buy Caribou Coffee at the grocery store and lovelovelove it.

    I worked in a mall when I was in college and my store was right next to the Starbucks. Over the winter I became addicted to the gingerbread latte which was ridiculous because one drink was worth about a half hour of my work!

    I still love those darn things but I'm thankful the only Starbucks around here is an hour away or I'd be going broke again.

    @moosey: Yeah, Starbucks is kind of out of my way, which is a blessing. I used to pass three Starbucks drive-thrus on my way to work. THAT was bad. haha. The Gingerbread is delicious!

    @brideatbeach: Yeah, don't... they're so addictive! I have a friend who drinks at least two a day when they come out in the Fall. He even stops on his way home, gets a large coffee and puts it in the fridge so he has iced Pumpkin Spice for the morning! I keep telling him he needs to get himself into a 12 step program...

    I love the Spiced Apple Cider and Green Tea Lemonade unsweetened.  I only get coffee there if I'm driving somewhere early in the morning or something.

    Chai Tea Latte. I love coffee but my stomach disagrees so I am forced to go through life without it's deliciousness. Buuuut I love tea too and my stomach is okay with that! So, Chai Tea Latte's are my favorite go to drink ever!

    Unsweetened Green Tea Lemonade.

    I can't stand Starbucks coffee.  Even the smell is too bitter for me.

    During the summer I loved the Mocha Coconut Frappuccino. The rest of the year, my regular drink is raspberry mocha. I haven't tried any of the fall/winter drinks yet but they sound yummy.

    @Eva Peron: OMG I used to get the Egg Nog Latte every holiday season until I had a roomie who worked at Starbucks who shared with me the calorie count. They use real, old-fashioned egg nog, so it's off the charts- haha. It scared me! :P

    I love the Pumpkin Spice Lattes!!!  I also love the Eggnog and Gingerbread ones they have during Christmas.  I like Caramel Macchiatos (hot or iced) and Java Chip Frappuccinos.  Honestly, I have a Starbucks addiction!
