I need to taste this!

Starbucks recently launched their coffee-drink ice creams last Spring and feedback has been going pretty well. The only drawback? Customers are complaining why there aren’t offered in actual Starbucks outlets.

Among friends who sampled the Starbucks: Mocha Frappuccino, Java Chip Frappuccino, and Caramel Macchiato (each is $3.99 per pint), the Caramel Macchiato stood out the best. What can I say?! I LOVE CARAMEL!! 

However  the old flavors including Mud Pie, Coffee Almond Fudge, Low Fat Latte, and Caramel Cappuccino Swirl are no longer available.

Here are some feedback I got online:

The Caramel Macchiato had the boldest and most intense coffee flavor, as well as luscious thick swirls of sweet caramel, which contrasted nicely with the creamy vanilla ice cream.

The Java Chip Frappuccino, which was a touch creamier than the others, had nice bittersweet chocolate chunks. But there were criticisms: "This is not as coffee flavored as I would have imagined," announced one editor. Many agreed that this would be the ideal choice for someone who likes their coffee mild and not too sweet.

The Mocha Frappucino, comprising coffee and chocolate ice cream, was ultimately the most appealing to the eye because of its dark and tan contrasting colors. It also had editors commenting on how they prefer the ice cream version to the actual drink. On editor said, "It tastes like a Mocha Frap, but it’s not as dramatically sweet…it’s perfect."
