Disappointed to see a Starbucks opening in the suburbs of Melbourne.

Do they not remember losing 105 million dollars and closing 61 locations the last time they tried convincing Australians that Starbucks was good?

StaceGhost It‘s not their fault. They didn‘t realize Australia mastered the flat white and their version is an imperialist mockery. Just what I‘ve heard, anyway lol 2y
Teresereading I didn‘t like their coffee, but I liked getting the bags of used grounds for my compost! 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @StaceGhost, they were expensive and sugary 🤔 maybe they think as a society we are ready to accept both now. I‘m anti-(coffee)chains tbh - especially ones that dodge tax. And I‘m not a coffee drinker but since I live in Melbourne, home of the hipster, the coffee snob and the insatiable cafe bruncher - I have opinions 🤣 2y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Teresereading, did not know that was something that they offered… composting is very cool! 2y
CarolynM I once went to the Starbucks that was briefly on the corner Bourke and Swanson Streets. It was a hot day and I enjoyed the iced drink I had there - I‘m not sure exactly what it was but I‘m very sure it wasn‘t coffee🤣 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, one of their famous faux iced coffees perhaps? 🤣 2y

Reviewsbylola Caramel macchiato, extra hot with only two pumps vanilla, nonfat is my go to drink. I like ordering on the app so I can customize it like crazy without feeling annoying. 😆 5y
BeckyandBooks Cold brew with vanilla sweet cream is my new summer drink 5y
jewright Cold brew with hazelnut 5y
bookishkai Iced chai, or iced sweetened black tea lemonade. In the winter I like Eggnog chai, salted caramel hot chocolate, vanilla steamer, and black tea latte.
5y
cherinium I am a fan of the Refreshers (most flavors). My fave was the Cool Lime, but it's not available anymore. Lately I've been obsessed with the Pink Drink. My cold weather drink is a Chai Latte with 2 extra pumps of Chai. 5y
xxjenadanxx Grande Soy Java Chip Frappuccino with a shot, or Grande Soy Strawberry Creme Frappuccino with a mocha drizzle. Yum 😋 5y
Geeklet Those pink drinks are fantastic. I can never remember the full name so I just call them pink drink in my most West Virginian accent. 5y
Megabooks Venti coffee with two pumps of caramel and skim milk. 😴😴 5y
TK421 Iced caramel macchiato made with almond milk. 5y
Scochrane26 I‘ve never tried the fruit drinks, maybe I should. I don‘t go anymore to Starbucks because I can‘t have caffeine. But, I used to love their hot chocolate. 5y
MotionChickness That refresher but with coconut milk 😋 or the pink drink. Or both of those refreshers, minus the coconut milk! Lol. I love iced coffee as well... but those always hit the spot. 5y
KristenDuck @litenthusiast I‘ve recently developed this appreciation for dragon fruit 5y
KristenDuck @bookishkris and @Scochrane26 since you both referenced hot chocolate im curious if you‘ve ever tried their white hot chocolate? That‘s my favorite winter treat. 5y
bookishkai @KristenDuck I‘m not usually a fan of white chocolate anything, but on your recommendation I will try one this winter! 5y
Scochrane26 @KristenDuck I never tried their white choc, but I‘ll have to see how much caffeine it has in it. 5y
Mahej Every single time. Vanilla latte. Without fail. :-) 5y
