Starbucks

930 Valkenburgh St, Honolulu, HI 96818, USA

It happens millions of times each week – a customer receives a drink from a Starbucks barista - but each interaction is unique. It's just a moment in time - just one hand reaching over the counter to present a cup to another outstretched hand. But it's a connection. We make sure everything we do honors that connection – from our commitment to the highest quality coffee in the world, to the way we engage with our customers and communities to do business responsibly. From our beginnings as a single store nearly forty years ago, in every place that we've been, and every place that we touch, we've tried to make it a little better than we found it.

I made this latte vegan by subbing the milk with oatmilk and leaving out the whipped cream. This flavor of latte and cold foam is a perfect combination and added to one of my top favorites. I sipped on the latte before stirring in the cold foam, and it was already good. Just the perfect amount of sweetness with a very noticeable gingerbread taste. But then once I stirred in the foam, which is made with soy and oatmilk, it made it even more smooth and creamy with an added taste of vanilla. I’ve been adding cold foams to my hot peppermint mochas lately, but after having trying a variety of cold foams at Starbucks, I’m finding it to be a better experience with iced lattes. It holds up nicely, and it’s like having 2 drinks in 1. You try the latte itself first, and when you’re ready for a 2nd drink, stir it, and get a new profile and taste. It’s such a nice treat while I’m #onthego and to lighten the mood while driving in heavy traffic. I have a rollercoaster relationship with Starbucks. I first loved Starbucks decades ago when I wasn’t vegan, mainly for their frappes. Then when going vegan, I was very disappointed, even with their plant-based milk offerings. I took a little hiatus, but then started going again for their generous reward program, still unpleased with just about everything And then my interest in reward points dwindled, but their generous offerings kept me going back, like 1/2 off days, or $3 specials, where I could enjoy a couple of my faves, or continue trying something new (and still usually disappointed). And now the new CEO stripped away the generous offerings, but introducing all these fabulous tasting new plant based drinks and combinations and no surcharge for subbing with plant milk, I’m back to loving Starbucks for the main reason it should be….great tasting coffee. And being able to order on the app is such a unique and better experience, being able to customize without confusing the barista and beat the line by ordering ahead. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #starbucks #gingerbread #latte #vanilla #coldfoam #ditchdairy

I’m declaring this as my new favorite Starbucks coffee! I usually only go to Starbucks when they send me a really good deal, which is often enough to accumulate enough reward points to redeem. I had a lot that was about to expire on Oct 1. I already knew what wanted… this ceramic mug with an artsy print of a cat. Someone in my cat rescue group on Facebook posted about it, but it was mainly found in the main U.S. It was only found in a couple of stores in Hawaii, and they both ran out with no plans on restocking. It was such a treasure hunt to have finally found this one left at another location on Sep 30, the day before my points were to expire, that I couldn’t wait to use it while I was out and about yesterday, even with no special deals. I stayed away from the holiday drinks, even the ones that are made with oatmilk, because a primary ingredient includes honey. So I got on my app and customized my Blond Vanilla Latte to make it vegan, and it was super good. The texture of the chocolate cold foam wasn’t as impressive as a matcha cold foam I got last time. It was really thin , but it blended and tasted so well together that I can’t complain. The vanilla flavor, which is one of my favorite flavors, is very prominent. The coffee flavor is very subtle. There’s only a very few coffees I’ve had that are strong and that I like, and Starbucks is not one of them, so this Blond coffee just might be for me. I’ll have to experiment with other flavors next time (if I’m not too tempted to get this again). I got this as a Tall and they filled my mug, which I think is bigger than a tall, but next time, I’ll have to bring my Grande cup for this. I liked how my ceramic mug kept this chilled throughout my drive on a very warm day with no A/c on though, which my plastic Grande cup probably won’t do . This is a perfect drink as we approach fall here in Hawaii because it’s still very warm, yet this gives a smooth and creamy texture and cozy feeling of vanilla, while still cold to help beat the heat. #starbucks #vanilla #oatmilk #oatmilklatte #icedlatte #coffee #nodairy #ditchdairy #dairyisscary
