5 Best Starbucks Treats to Try this Fall
As October ends and we begin to transition into the colder months, it’s traditional to settle with a hot drink or a hot meal to celebrate the season. Starbucks is well known and loved through many people, and offers an array of holiday treats that are sure to fit anyone’s taste buds. Which one do you like the best?
1.) Pumpkin Spice Latte
Who doesn’t know this iconic fall classic? Whenever this iconic fall drink rolls around, Starbucks is always filled with eager students who want to get their PSL fix. And it’s with good reason. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is great for those who like or dislike coffee due to its approachable sweet flavor with a hint of spice. It also comes in iced and frappe form for those who desire cold drinks along with cool weather.
2.) Salted Caramel Mocha
This is another fall classic that comes this time of year. Imagine the typical Starbucks mocha that you can buy year round – but with salted caramel! Similar to the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the Salted Caramel Mocha has a rich and sweet caramel flavor that goes alongside the taste of coffee. However, unlike the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the mocha is more suited for those students who prefer darker flavors to their drinks. The drink also comes with a healthy serving of whipped cream and caramel drizzle, for those with a rampant sweet tooth.
3. Chile Mocha
This drink puts a spicy twist to the typical mocha drink that is for sure to satisfy your taste buds. Some may be cautious about the spice-level in this drink, but it isn’t an issue. This drink may be familiar if you have ever tried Mexican hot chocolate, but with the inclusion chili peppers ancho, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. It’s a unique specimen that’s brewed right inside your local Starbucks!
4.) Dark Chocolate and Caramelized Banana Oatmeal
This new oatmeal flavor from Starbucks has an inclusion of toffee, chocolate, and banana compote. This particular flavor joins the standard Classic and Hearty Blueberry flavored oatmeals and both have very different elements to this fall time.
5.) Caramelized Apple Pound Cake
Starbucks currently offers two different types of pound cake – Lemon and Raspberry Swirl. But for fall, there is a new pound cake flavor that helps mimic a fall festival. This dessert is a cream cheese cake that is mixed with apple spice cake. For an added sweet kick, there is sugar frosting on the outside as well as caramel syrup and apple pieces inside the cake. For those who really love a kick of sweetness, this cake is perfect for you!
