Starbucks Chestnut Praline Latte

[Deleted]

Anyone excited about the upcoming chestnut praline latte at Starbucks?

Sounds kinda tasty.

[lilafowler]

Is this the new PSL?

For winter maybe?

We had it here last year, and it is delicious. Much better than a PSL!

[cville]

I want this now.

[noodleskooze]

It sounds good but I suspect it will be way to sweet for me.

[jigsy]

I imagine I will love every drop of it and the 400 calories it contains.

The Chestnut Praline Latte isnt new, they had it last year. It's amazing though, I'm super happy it is coming back.

[wannabe]

Bring on all the sugared coffee drinks.

Well, except the PSL. I don't do those.

[bania]

It's new to us! We didn't have it last year. If we get it, I'll definitely try it. Sounds delish.

I had a starbucks make it a chestnut praline chai latte ( I don't do coffee ).  It was sweet and delicious!  But I also like a toffee nut chai latte.

[happyholiday]

I loooove roasted chestnuts, but I hate sweet drinks.

[verycontrary247]

FTR I didn't find it overly sugary personally.

[winelady]

This sounds yummy I'll go to Starbucks for this.

[trafficgirl]

I have a work meeting at Sbux tomorrow and was hoping this was coming out in time. Nope, I'll have to wait.

Oprah Chai it is.

[julianabixby]

Yum! Can't wait to try it!

Ooh that sounds good. I don't do coffee either. Will they make anything into a chai? Like a gingerbread one for example? How do I order it? I am always disappointed that they don't have special seasonal teas

I am so excited that people were in test regions and liked it. I've never had one!

CHEMICALS!!!!

There's probably not even REAL chestnuts or pralines IN there.

Good.  How else do I preserve this body from the inside out?  I hope enough chemicals and I won't even need botox or anything later!


changedname - yes, they will usually try to make anything into a chai for you.  I just ask - if they can't they are always nice about it!

[hulley]

Sounds like it has potential...I wonder what the "chestnut" part is?

Also, the link within the article reminded me of the existence of the beauty that is the Creme Brûlée Latte.

*Proboards fancied my brûlée for me

[blondemoment123]

I'd try it. I didn't see it advertised at my starbucks today.

[scribellesam]

I had one last year and it was so tasty! I am unreasonably excited that they will be widely available this year.

[thebreakfastclub]

I don't think I have ever had a chestnut, but I am excited to try it. I think their hazelnut is kind of bitter though, so I hope this is better. My company has a faux Starbucks in the building so hopefully they will carry it.

[karmasabiotch]

I'll have to try it and then skip eating for the rest of the week.

Yes, I'm excited.

Definitely not chestnuts, which I don't know if that's good or bad for me.

Good, because I'm allergic to them, and was having a mini panic that I wouldn't be able to order anything at Starbucks now because I over react to things

and

Bad because
a. now I can have one and will probably like it
b. if it doesn't have chestnuts in it, what kind of chemical fuckery IS in it to make it taste that way.

I'm excited to try it. It has to be better than the PSL. I get one every year or two then remember that it tastes like a scented candle.

Why don't they spread out the good seasonal drinks? Almost all year, I get black coffee or iced coffee with a little cream. Christmas gets all the good stuff! (And yes, I know they can make a peppermint mocha all year, but I don't want to drink one in July.)

[RoxMonster]

I'm glad to hear people didn't think it was too sweet. That was my initial reaction when hearing about it. I'll definitely give it a try when it comes out.

I am so irrationally excited for the Starbucks red holiday cups to come out again. They just make me cheerful when I see them.

Starbucks PSL tastes like gross chemicals to me so I'm not very excited about this one either.

Take your opinions RIGHT out of this post, Debbie Downer.
