I only drink iced coffee in the summer, except maybe first thing in the morning at home. I refuse to buy a hot drink until I can wear long sleeves. Aka late November in TX. lol
not yet, i wait until it's cooler. i usually treat myself to one once a week or every two weeks!
Yeah, when it isn't free, I don't get a fantzy coffee very often either. But when it is free ALL DAY while I am working, and 30 mins before & after my shift, it's so hard to not drink all the calories. I mean, drinks. lol
Oh that's good to know about the 1/2 syrup. I like them every so often. The salted caramel mocha is better IMO. I need to wait until cooler weather for either though. I'm pretty excited because Fall is my favourite.
I think they're pretty good, but they're not the best thing Sbux offers, IMO. I'll have a few once it's actually Halloween-Thanksgiving.
Now, the Chestnut Praline latte that was on limited release last holiday season ... That was fucking fantastic and I will kick a Starbucks employee if they don't come back. I would drink those all year.
I really like eggnog lattes, but only in Nov/dec. I also like it double cut with milk, so it isn't so thick.
And I really like peppermint mochas, but did y'all know that they get the full pumps of the mocha AND the peppermint?? For a grande, that is 8 PUMPS OF SYRUPS. Get half, people. Plus extra whip, farmvillelover style.

The salted caramel mocha is just toffee nut & mocha! You can get it all year round! (But I'd get half the syrups of that too. Wooza)
This is my favorite thing about fall, because it's true:
LOL I literally had the url copied to paste this. Different graphic but same text. So true.
To answer the OP: I don't love the pumpkin spice lattes. Most of the time I drink black coffee but if I want a fun "fall-ish" drink, I love chai lattes.
Have you tried the Oprah chai? It's pretty good. I have done half classic & half Oprah before. Yum!

Nope. Just like I can also have my favourite holiday peppermint white chocolate mocha all year round, it's just wrong. Lol. I pretend they don't exist.

Nooo. But I hate pumpkin everything, so this is not my fall drink. I'm another chai fan, and lately I've been grinding my beans with cinnamon to add some fall flavor.
I'm with Trixie usually. Don't drink sugar, like my coffee black.
Oprah got together with Teavana & made a spicier chai. It's pretty alright! i am a life long classic chai lover, but Oprah isn't too bad either.
Ive only ordered it once because I felt like such a tool ordering an oprah drink.
I work at a drive through only store. I *may* say "And YOU get a chai, and YOU get a chai..." if people order the Oprah chai. LOL. I'm such a dweeb, that I tell people it's a gouda choice when they order the bacon/gouda breakfast sandwich. LOL.
I'm a fan, just wish there was a sugar free option. Oh, and I guess going to SBs would help. I do to go there.
I DONT EVEN GO THERE!
Well, we have the SF mocha. I don't know if you meant the pumpkin spice, or the chai that we have started talking about. If you want a sugar free chai, you can order the chai tea bag (hot tea) and then have them add steamed milk, or just milk/cream & your choice of sweeteners (real or fake if you like.

I love them with just one pump of the syrup, otherwise the pumpkin flavoring is way too overpowering.
The perfect time to drink them is October-Nov. when it is chilly and fall-like outside. But I have to be honest, I usually get them way earlier than that and end up getting sick of them.
I also really enjoy having Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice coffee at home in the fall.
PSL season should start about the same time as flu shots IMHO.
I like this. Get your flu shot, treat yourself to the first PSL of the season!
I love PSLs, but I don't plan on having my first one until mid-September or so. It's too hot AND it's a fall drink to me. It's most definitely NOT fall yet.
