In honor of America’s 250th birthday and summertime, Starbucks brought back the fan favorite S’mores Frappuccino and, with it, also introduced new S’mores beverages. One of them is the S’mores Cold Brew, featuring marshmallow cream cold foam, marshmallow syrup, and a graham-cracker crumble and chocolate syrup on top.

No need for me to graham-cracker coat this one – this cold brew is fantastic. I was delighted by the amount of chocolate drizzle and graham cracker on top. Recently, I’ve felt Starbucks has skimped on the amount of toppings I’ve received on a drink, but this was not the case here.

At the first sip, I got a good taste of the marshmallow cream cold foam, which was amazing. It had the right amount of vanilla without being too sweet and a very authentic marshmallow flavor. I really want to try it on flavored lattes for a fun boost!

Another thing to note was the marshmallow syrup in the cold brew – big fan. I’ve come to realize I prefer when there is a syrup in the cold brew in general because it a) adds nice flavor and b) mellows the cold brew as the cold foam sinks in. Speaking of that – I loved the way the cold foam meshed with the cold brew. No notes.

The chocolate drizzle added a nice, subtle sweetness and stayed intact on the cold foam as I sipped. I assumed it would melt in, but it did not. I like that the chocolate didn’t steal the show from the marshmallow but simply enhanced the flavor.

Overall, I loved this drink. Truly tasted like I was sipping on a s’more. It was smooth, fun, and the perfect way to start my day. Will definitely be getting this one all summer long!

Starbucks keeps rolling out spring drinks like it’s trying to will warm weather into existence, and honestly? I respect the optimism. This year’s lineup features toasted coconut everywhere: in a cold brew, a macchiato, and a Toasted Coconut Latte, which Starbucks now offers hot or iced. The drink combines the new toasted coconut syrup with signature espresso and milk.

OK, so here we go right out of the gate: The biggest downfall of this drink was that the coconut wasn’t strong enough. It was very mellow and muted, despite there being three pumps of syrup in a tall. Between the toasted flavor and the milk, it just… fell a bit flat. I wonder how it would differ if you swapped dairy milk for coconut milk? Coconut on coconut could be interesting…

But what I DID like about it was that it wasn’t a super sweet drink. Even with 19 grams of sugar in a tall, I felt like I was having my morning latte versus a dessert. I was also pleasantly surprised with the protein content – always an added bonus!

If you’re a coconut enthusiast, it’s worth a try. But I’d be interested to see if the flavor shines through more in the other new toasted coconut drinks. Let me know if you’ve tried any of the others!

And as a small aside, when I got this drink, my two-year-old tried the new Frog Cake Pop, also here for spring. She would definitely give it a 10 out of 10!

I’ve decided Starbucks’ new game is to fit as many words into their drink titles as humanly possible. Here’s another mouthful, just in time for Valentine’s Day: the White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Cold Brew. This one pairs the signature cold brew with vanilla syrup, then adds a white chocolate strawberry cold foam and chocolate curls on top.

Well, let’s just get right to the verdict here. This drink was fabulous. The strawberry flavor in the cold foam was fantastic – it was very authentic. I didn’t really get any white chocolate feel, but it didn’t bother me since the strawberry was so good. The best way I can describe this cold brew is light and fluffy. Went down easy, tasted great, and the cold foam melted beautifully into the drink. If you want a drink that tastes pretty, this is definitely it.

I always love a vanilla syrup in the cold brew, so that didn’t disappoint either. Overall, the sweetness level was perfect – both in the cold brew and cold foam. Everything was perfectly balanced.

I took this down one point in my rating because the chocolate curls were nowhere in sight. In case it might have been a fluke, I got a second one of these at another location in my area and, again, no chocolate curls. I asked the barista at the second stop, and she told me they were completely out of the curls. The Midwest recently had a slight snowmaggedon, so I’m wondering if it’s a supply chain issue. I went as far as to chat with a customer service rep online who said there wasn’t any information available on whether the chocolate curls were a standard part of the drink… even though it’s in the description. If anyone else gets them, I would love to know how they are in the comments!

Without the missing chocolate curls, I would have given this a 10 out of 10. But I’ll certainly be getting this one again. I’m hopeful that Starbucks keeps up the fruity additions in the months to come, as they’ll be perfect for spring and summer.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of Dubai chocolate. It’s a thick chocolate with pistachio cream, tahini, and shredded phyllo pastry. It went viral over the last few years, and now Starbucks has jumped on the bandwagon to capitalize on the flavor and the popularity.

Starbucks introduced the Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha and, wow, is this thing a treat. I felt like I was drinking a decadent dessert – in a good way – rather than a morning coffee.

The first thing to note is that there is A LOT going on here. You’ve got your espresso and mocha sauce, standard of any Starbucks mocha drink, but then you add in pistachio cream cold foam and what Starbucks calls a “Salted Brown-Buttery Topping.” I wasn’t sure how everything would mesh, but it proved to be a winner.

This drink is much creamier and thicker than a usual mocha. It almost feels like you’re getting a mouthfeel of a bite of chocolate. The pistachio cream cold foam stayed very intact and worked its way naturally into the drink like a dream. I’ll admit that I don’t feel the topping on the cold foam added much of its own flavor, but again, lots of meshing together here. I’m glad Starbucks went iced with this drink – I’m not sure the flavors would have had the same effect in a hot version.

You have to know up front that you’re getting a ton of sugar and even sodium here, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it had nine grams of protein.

I’ll definitely get this one again and might even consider it as a dessert by swapping the espresso shot for decaf if it’s later in the evening.
