One of each, please. <\/p>\n<p>Starbucks has flirted with \u201cbougie\u201d before, but that always felt like a condiment-level commitment (hello, Truff hot sauce). This is different. Starbucks goes full truffle here.<\/p>\n<p>And truffles are bougie indeedy. People typically hand-forage them during a short season, sometimes with dogs or pigs, and some have sold for eye-watering prices. A white truffle has gone for as much as $330,000 for 3.3 pounds! <\/p>\n<p>Important clarification: truffles are not the chocolate kind. They are intensely pungent and aggressively mushroom-forward. If you don\u2019t like mushrooms, do not eat this. Stay far away. Leave it for us shroom lovers.<\/p>\n<p>Before I even took a bite, the aroma was unmistakable. Yep, that\u2019s black truffle. I had a brief moment of hope that it wouldn\u2019t tip into truffle-oil territory.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sbxtrfmsrbrieeggbts2.jpeg?resize=600%2C750&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Starbucks Truffle, Mushroom &amp; Brie Egg Bites bite\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-75389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sbxtrfmsrbrieeggbts2.jpeg?resize=600%2C750&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sbxtrfmsrbrieeggbts2.jpeg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sbxtrfmsrbrieeggbts2.jpeg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sbxtrfmsrbrieeggbts2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Flavor-wise, it was clearly black truffle to me, not white truffle. Black truffle tastes bolder and earthier, and the flavor came through strongly here. When I checked the ingredient list after, I saw that Starbucks uses an actual truffle base rather than just truffle oil, which checks out. <\/p>\n<p>While \u201cBrie\u201d appears third in the name, it barely played a role. The egg bites did not taste particularly cheesy; the truffle completely dominated. If you expect creamy, mild Brie vibes, this is not that. Truffle leads first, second, and third. <\/p>\n<p>Texture-wise, this felt fluffier than some of the other egg bites. It avoided the puck-like density you sometimes get with the egg white versions and landed softer and lighter overall. The diced mushrooms didn\u2019t compete with the truffle flavor, but seeing and feeling them helped the texture line up with what my nose was picking up.<\/p>\n<p>One unexpected miss was the coffee pairing. I ordered a Pistachio Cortado, and together the flavors went full earthy mode. While I love mushrooms, I do not love savory mushrooms colliding with sweet pistachio sauce. That one\u2019s on me, but it\u2019s worth warning. <\/p>\n<p>As with all egg bites, eat them warm unless you want a silicone-adjacent puck.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $5.45<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 200 calories, 10 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 240 milligrams of cholesterol, 620 milligrams of sodium, 12 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 14 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Starbucks\u2019 Egg Bites\u2014every single flavor.
