Starbucks is a mainstream cafe that the majority of the population has become familiar with over the years. They have stores in almost every country in the world, making the establishment very popular. They have many different locations, including personal stores, malls, bookstores, etc.
Even if you do not like coffee, Starbucks has a variety of other drinks that everyone can enjoy. For example, tea, coffee, refreshers, frappuccinos, and steamers. Junior Lili Krygier said, "When I go to Starbucks, my order is an iced matcha latte with two pumps of brown sugar with oat milk." People often post their orders on the internet, like what drink they order and what they do to the drink to make it exactly how they want it. To add something different to it or to take something away from it. This entices people to want to try the drink.
Starbucks is known for changing its drink menu when the seasons change. For instance, in the fall they have pumpkin chai tea, pumpkin cream cold brew, apple espresso, and the ever-popular pumpkin spice latte. As December arrives, they release all of their holiday drinks. They have various new options for this time of year, like the gingerbread chai tea, peppermint mocha, caramel latte, chestnut praline latte, sugar cookie latte, and hot cocoa. Also, when the holiday drinks come out, that means the Christmas cups come out—they are red and have Christmas patterns on them.
As the drinks change with the seasons, the food options are altered as well. In the fall, they have pumpkin bread, apple croissants, pumpkin muffins, and an owl cake pop. In the winter, they offer peppermint cake pops, cranberry bliss bars, snowman cookies, gingerbread loaves, and sugar plum cheese danishes.
When you go to Starbucks, you can adjust your orders to make them exactly how you want them; you can substitute different kinds of milk, or add more sugar/vanilla, and other syrups. Junior Addison Belcher said, "When I go to Starbucks, depending on the drink I get, I will substitute things to make it what I want. My order is an iced matcha latte with vanilla and matcha sweet cream cold foam."
If you are a regular customer, they offer an app where you can scan your phone every time you get something to get more 'stars.' When you have enough stars, you can get a free drink. You can also add money to your starbucks app, so whenever you want to order something, all you have to do is scan your phone. Within the app, you can also pick a location and order your things ahead of time so when you get there all you have to do is grab them from the counter. Also, on the app, they feature all of the drinks they offer. For example, when the new season's drinks come out, they announce it on the app and put all of the new drinks there to sift through.
If you stop by Starbucks during this holiday season don't forget to get a seasonal drink like a sugar cookie latte and grab a Christmas cake pop on the way out!
