Taking walking trips to the Starbucks on Orchard is a school-wide tradition that almost everyone has participated in at least once. Whether it\u2019s to collect stars for free drinks or to pick up that iced tea you\u2019ve been craving, it seems like Starbucks is the place to go! You might be getting crazy over Pumpkin Spice Lattes since fall has just started, but do you know what other food and drink items autumn brings out? To help everyone out, I have compiled a list of the new fall items, along with some secret drinks and hacks that will be sure to get everyone excited!<\/p>\n

Maple Pecan Latte<\/strong><\/p>\n

The newest drink in Starbucks’ repertoire. This drink combines the flavors of maple, pecans, and brown sugar with a warm cup of espresso and milk. It tastes like the coffee you would imagine drinking while sitting in your one-dollar Target Halloween socks and an over-sized sweater while watching It\u2019s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown<\/em>. The warm flavors don\u2019t overpower the coffee, and you even get a surprise of fall-colored sugar sprinkles on top of the cloud-like foam topping.<\/p>\n

Salted Caramel Mocha<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is for you Caramel Frappuccino lovers. As the temperatures start dropping, it\u2019s always nice to have a familiar flavor to go to when you order a hot drink, and this is exactly what this mocha gives you. It pairs a toffee-nut flavor syrup with milky espresso to give you the perfect tummy-warming sip, every time.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t stand the taste even when your drink is watered down by steamed milk? Well, Teavana\u00ae is introducing this new drink to the menu, and it is sure to stun all avid coffee-haters. It blends all of the flavors of Starbucks\u2019 famous Chai Tea Latte with the same pumpkin spice flavors found in their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte…so definitely don’t miss out on this one!<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Scone <\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of you are probably very excited for the return of the Pumpkin Scone, a pumpkin spiced dough dipped in white icing and topped with a drizzle of pumpkin icing. What’s not to like?<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starbucks describes<\/a> it as \u201ca triple layer treat\u2026 [with] a honey graham crust baked with pumpkin gingerbread bursting with candied ginger, pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with creamy Chicago-style cheesecake made with slow-cultured cream cheese and sour cream, finished with a swirl of lightly-spiced pumpkin cheesecake.\u201d (It would probably take you longer to say that than it would to finish the bar.)<\/p>\n

Iced Fox Sugar Cookie<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new woodlands creature that might be almost too cute to eat. If you haven\u2019t yet seen it traveling around your friends’ Snapchat stories, be sure to grab one the next time you take a walk to Orchard. The Iced Fox Sugar Cookie has been a great addition to this year\u2019s fall favorites and can make your aesthetic pictures of Starbucks’ drinks even more beautiful. Not only is it delicious with a buttery sugar cookie dough and a white-chocolate glazed frosting, it\u2019s crazy cute too!<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m sure you\u2019re all excited for the new fall favorites, but that\u2019s probably not what you came for. So to give you what you want, here\u2019s some Starbucks secrets you\u2019ll be dying to try…<\/p>\n

Unknown to many, there are seasonal drinks that are served year round<\/strong>. If you\u2019re ever feeling a Candy Cane Frappuccino or an Eggnog Latte, you can always ask the barista to whip one up for you, even if it’s in the middle of a scorching September.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re looking for some new secret fall favorites<\/strong>, Starbucks has you covered. On their secret menu you can find a Halloween Eggnog Frappuccino<\/strong>, made with pumpkin spice and caramel syrups blended together with heavy whipping cream and the Frappuccino base. They also have an Apple Pie Frappuccino<\/strong>, which tastes exactly like the name says it does, plus some delectable cinnamon dolce and caramel syrup. The only drawback with the secret drinks is that if a location is out of a particular flavored syrup, they won\u2019t be able to make you the drink. So just remember to have a backup drink order, and you’ll never be disappointed.<\/p>\n

Also, don\u2019t forget that if you have a free drink, order the Trenta size<\/strong>. It\u2019s bigger than a Venti!  Even though it\u2019s not listed on the menu, they\u2019re always willing to hit you up with it. There have also been rumors of a \u201cshort\u201d size, which is smaller than a tall, for anyone who only wants to sample a drink or doesn\u2019t do well on too much coffee.<\/p>\n

And lastly, if the new fall and secret drinks don\u2019t sound appealing to you, don\u2019t forget<\/strong> that the new Teavana\u00ae Shaken Iced Tea Infusions, including flavors such as Pineapple Black Tea, Peach Citrus White Tea and Strawberry Green Tea, will be available all year round. Happy sipping! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
