    the espresso truffle automatically puts you on the local diabetic clinic's waiting list.

    That caramel sea salt hot chocolate they always bring out in the winter is completely worth the cost. It's the only thing I drink there.

    Well, that and the peppermint hot chocolate. :D

    I normally strongly dislike Starbucks, but the caramel apple cider is to die for.

    I like the iced lemon cake at Starbucks more than anything else, though I do enjoy a good mocha from time to time.

    Java machine, cappuccino delight
    Expresso black and caramel lite
    Coffee dessert, yes you know it's "good news"
    But you'll have to have them all pulled out
    After the expresso truffle.

    If Starucks ever makes a masala tea as good as the Indian restaurant around the corner, my wallet will be $3 thinner a day.

    I dig this, too. Haven't had it in a while. May be time for quick run though I hate to miss a minute of a Patriots' loss.

    the vanilla frappa-something or other is pretty good. Just like a milkshake.

    A combination of caffeine, refined white sugar and frothed cream in a cup: $3 or $4.

    A case of diabetes: Priceless!!

    Seriously, that Earl Grey thing isn't the worst thing I have seen from Starbucks. They have drinks that are 500+ calories and filled with enough sugar to induce a hypoglemic coma. But still, if you are having one of more of those every day, you might as well just eat cake or ice cream instead, because it's pretty much the same thing nutritionally. Those drinks are desert in a cup, not coffee. If it is a very occasional indulgence, I can see it being an "I am going to treat myself" thing. But a steady diet of that stuff is a bad idea, if you ask me.
