Whats the best starbucks frap?!
Answers: havent been their in a while and the only frap i have even gotten was the vanilla bean frap. i really like it and never got coffee ones b.c i didnt like coffee, now i like coffee but it has to have a lot fo cream/milk in it for me to like it. i had a cinamin dulce latte at starbucks once and liked it and it wasnt too strong for me. would the fraps with coffee in them be too strong for me? idk how strong they are so someone clue me in? what is the best frap flavor? i might like the cinamin dulce or carmel (i just wanna know how strong a coffee falvor they have?) also, strawberries and cream sounds good. mabye the vanilla one that has coffee and i was wondering what java chip and double chocolate chip taste like ( i like chocolate but i dont like things flavored chocolate like ice cream and brownies so do you think i would like them?) basically, i want the low down on all the frap flavors, what ones you think are the best, & what one you think id like. i know, silly question, but thanks
Coffee Frappuccinos are on the sweeter side, and the coffee is more bitter than what you'd get in a latte. Personally, I make/ask for mine to be made with half cream, half coffee :) For the actual amounts, a Frappucino has more actual coffee than a latte, but less caffeine (35mg less, for a Grande size).
As for the flavors, I'll give you a run down of a few you were asking about:
Strawberries & Creme: Sweeter than strawberry milkshakes or ice cream, but excellent in small amounts
Double Chocolate/ Java Chip: If you don't like chocolate ice cream, I wouldn't recommend this. It tastes a lot like ice cream, with lots of chocolate chunks blended in, and both get chocolate drizzle on top.
Cinnamon Dolce: I love this flavor! Either by itself, or added to a Vanilla Bean. However, it can be a bit sweeter as a Frap.
Caramel: If you really, really, REALLY love caramel, go for it. However, I can't take this much caramel :/ A better alternative might be...
Caramel Mocha: This combination tastes like a Snickers bar, and the two flavors compliment and balance each other.
Peppermint Mocha/ Mint Chocolate Chip: Just like the ice cream flavor, and my absolute favorite. This is available year round. If you don't want as much chocolate, just ask for less ;)
Toffee Nut: This is a delicious flavor, as a coffee or cream Frap. I can't find words to describe it, but you can ask for a sample before you buy.
Green Tea: Try before you buy - this flavor is love it or hate it. This is a cream Frap, fyi ;) It has melpon syrup, and powdered green tea blended in - which can make it taste like a freshly mowed lawn.
Also, this one's not a Frap, but it is blended:
Blended Strawberry Lemonade: just that! It's a great, refreshing drink, and made with real strawberries and lemonade.
If you're not sure about a drink, you can ask the baristas for a sample before you buy. Another good choice, if you don't like too much coffee, is to order an iced latte with only one shot of espresso (or half a shot in the case of a Tall size). Good flavors for lattes are French Vanilla, Toffee Nut, and Cinnamon Dolce. If you wanted to try an iced mocha, you can also ask for less mocha syrup, as well as add a flavor such as Cinnamon, Caramel, or Raspberry (but don't forget to ask for less espresso!).
definitely the Carmel its an amazing Burst of sugary goodness!! its so sweet but if you cant stand having sweet things i don't suggest it but otherwise its amazing. the caramel and whip cream all blend together when it sucked up the straw and you never want it to end!! try it now!!
I definitly think that green tea is the BEST. If you've ever had plain green tea you will like this frap. This is not a silly question because you could search your whole life looking for the perfect frap!
the cheapest cause they cost too much for a cup of foam.
Raspberry Green Tea Frapp all the way! Or if you aren't into that go for the Java Chip.
my favorite is caramel, with extra caramel. i like coffee, but i don't think it's that strong of a coffee taste. if you try a coffee based one and don't like it, there are always the cream based ones (like the vanilla bean you have tried) you can get. i haven't tried the green tea, but everyone says it is good, and i want to try it.
Carmel is alright, but my favorite one is the cafe vanilla one. I dont think it would be too strong (they do add cream, ice, vanilla and it doesnt look like they add a lot of coffee) I havent tried the java chip or the double chocolate chip yet.
I would recommend getting the smallest size of whatever you end up getting just to try it out. Then, if you like it, get a bigger size.
For the blended coffee frap, I would recommend the mocha frap. But for the blended cream frap (without coffee), I would recommend either the orange & cream or the strawberries & cream.
