It comes in four different flavors and I chose the plain ol&#8217; coffee flavor because I wasn&#8217;t feeling very adventurous at the time of purchase to try any of the other flavors &#8212; caramel macchiato, mocha frappuccino and java chip frappuccino &#8212; all of which are apparently brought to us by the letter O.<\/p>\n<p>The Starbucks Coffee Ice Cream is made up of coffee and espresso ice creams.  If you look closely at it you can see the swirls the two ice creams make and if you listen very carefully to the ice cream you might be able to hear the sounds of jazz or easy listening music playing, just like you&#8217;re sitting in a Starbucks location.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I&#8217;ve consumed more water out of a rusty pipe than Starbucks coffee (although some people might say they taste the same), so I can&#8217;t tell you if the ice cream tastes similar to its insulated cupped brethren.  But I do know that I&#8217;ve had better tasting coffee ice cream.  While it has an adequate coffee flavor, it isn&#8217;t as creamy or as rich as other coffee ice cream I&#8217;ve had in the past, like the Haagen Dazs Coffee ice cream.  Perhaps the use of espresso ice cream is the reason for that or maybe the it&#8217;s the &#8220;Starbucks Coffee Concentrate&#8221; that&#8217;s listed among the ice cream&#8217;s ingredients, which sounds like something Starbucks should start selling in a cup &#8212; straight up.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1\/2 cup &#8211; 210 calories, 13 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 55 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 19 grams of sugar, 3 grams of protein, 10% vitamin A and 10% calcium.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Starbucks Coffee Ice Cream<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.99 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  One Pint<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Decent tasting.
