New Chocolate Cream Cold Brew

Cool down with Starbucks newest cold coffee, the Chocolate Cream Cold Brew. Inspired by nostalgic summer moments, the beverage features Starbucks® Cold Brew that is topped with a light, sweet and silky chocolate cream cold-foam, and is sweetened with vanilla syrup.

“When creating this beverage, we wanted to bring our customers a drink that would transport them back to their favorite summer memories with each sip,” said <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2021/starbucks-newest-holiday-drink-iced-sugar-cookie-almondmilk-latte/">Rosalyn Batingan</a> of Starbucks beverage development team. “The classic combination of coffee and notes of chocolate, along with the malt flavor in the chocolate cream cold foam, are reminiscent of a chocolate malted milkshake or that last bit of melted chocolate ice cream on a warm summer day to recreate the sweet, creamy flavor of summers past.”

Starbucks Cold Brew <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2015/starbucks-cold-brew/">first joined the menu in 2015</a>, and is made from a custom blend of Latin American and African beans specifically chosen and expertly roasted for this brew method. It’s handcrafted by Starbucks baristas in small batches daily, and slow-steeped in cool water for 20 hours, resulting in sweet, smooth flavors with soft cocoa notes.

Summer is upon us, and whether you’re planning an epic cross-country adventure or exploring a little closer to home – sometimes getting there is half of the fun. Here are a few of the most unique U.S. Starbucks stores for a memorable pit stop on your next road trip.

Let’s fuel up for our adventure at a café that was once an old-fashioned gas station, the Starbucks at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1007178/highland-willoughby-859-n-highland-avenue-los-angeles-ca-900383416-us">Highland and Willoughby in Los Angeles</a>. The art deco structure, originally built in 1935, is straight from the golden age of Hollywood and has even been featured in several movies and commercials.

A 200-mile drive across the desert east of L.A. brings us to the bright lights of Las Vegas, where you’ll find a Starbucks store that is a work of art. <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1014419/cosmopolitan-las-vegas-casino-fl-3708-las-vegas-blvd-south-las-vegas-nv-89109-us">The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Starbucks</a> features a colorful geometric public art installation by French artist and photographer Georges Rousse that changes perspective when moving through the space. Still thirsty? There are <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2014/summer-road-trip-starbucks-stores-shine-among-the-bright-lights-of-las-vega/#:~:text=The%20pulsing%20heart%20of%20the,Casino%20to%20the%20Stratosphere%20Tower.">more than 30 Starbucks stores </a>along the four miles of the Las Vegas Strip between the Mandalay Bay Resort &amp; Casino to the Stratosphere Tower.

If you’d prefer wide open spaces and mountain views, a summertime visit to Ketchum, Idaho is just for you – with hiking, mountain biking, and camping in the surrounding Sawtooth National Forest. The <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/68811/ketchum-town-center-491-sun-valley-rd-ketchum-id-83340-us">Ketchum Town Center</a> store and its relaxing ski resort vibe (inspired by nearby Sun Valley) make it the perfect spot to visit after a day outdoors.

Summer is the best time to visit Seattle, when the rain (mostly) stays away and the flowers are in bloom at the Pike Place Market. Thousands make the pilgrimage each year to the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/11676/pike-place-1912-pike-place-seattle-wa-981011013-us">Pike Place store</a>, snapping selfies under the weathered brown logo while partners make their beverages on the vintage-style manual espresso machine and bag coffee on the worn wooden counters. You’ll also see something partners tossing empty cups back and forth with drink orders, an homage to the fish tossed my fishmongers in stalls across the cobblestone street. Just don’t try to order a blueberry muffin, the original lease stipulated that food could not be served, and that tradition is continued today.

Is visiting the largest Starbucks in the world is on your summer bucket list? If so, then head to Chicago for a trip to the <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/chicago">Starbucks Reserve Chicago Roastery</a>. It is a five-story coffee wonderland – where you can immerse yourself in the journey of coffee from bean to cup.

If your travels take you through Texas, check out the Starbucks store at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1006594/3rd-lavaca-301-west-3rd-street-austin-tx-787013815-us">3rd &amp; Lavaca</a> in Austin which celebrates the city’s love for music. The design includes music-inspired details like speaker paneling, microphone chandeliers and spotlight pendant lighting. The design team also incorporated amber siding throughout the store to serve as a nod to the site’s previous history as a way station on a rail route back when the city was called Waterloo.

Another location with musical inspiration is the store on <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1005864/canal-st-st-charles-700-canal-st-new-orleans-la-70119-us">Canal St. &amp; Saint Charles</a> in New Orleans’ historic French Quarter. Here, the Starbucks design team dreamed up a vivid story of an apothecary merchant from the early 20th Century who would sell his goods in the front of a store and settle down after hours in the back “living room,” where a 12-foot-long community table rested. That formidable table demanded a trumpet chandelier to complement its commanding presence.

Savannah is known as the “Forest City,” with its cobblestone streets lined by hundreds of live oaks and Spanish moss-draped trees made for wandering, both for people and the spirits who roam this notoriously haunted city. The <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1015870/west-bay-and-barnard-135-w-bay-street-savannah-ga-314011108-us">West Bay &amp; Bernard</a> store features an enchanting art installation that celebrates the city’s nature, beauty and history.

Continue driving north up the Atlantic Coast to the nation’s capital, where you’ll find <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2018/eight-things-to-know-about-the-new-starbucks-signing-store/">one of the most unique Starbucks store</a>s in the country. The Starbucks Signing Store at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1009470/6th-h-625-h-street-washington-dc-200025094-us">6th &amp;H</a> in Washington, D.C. is led by a diverse team of partners who are fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). For customers new to sign language, the store features high-tech options for assisting with communication, ordering drinks, and receiving beverages at the hand-off counter. Be sure to check out the colorful mural created by&nbsp;<a href="http://yiqiaowang.com/index.html">Yiqiao Wang</a>, a Deaf artist and adjunct professor at Gallaudet University which includes a host of letters, signs and symbols representing English, ASL, Deaf culture and coffee.

Just outside Washington, D.C., book lovers will enjoy a stop at the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/10908/george-mason-university-4401-university-drive-fairfax-va-220304481-us">George Mason University store</a> and its a one-of-a-kind collage of 34 flying books. This café may look a little familiar, it is featured in <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2020/you-can-still-work-from-starbucks-with-virtual-backgrounds/">Starbucks collection of virtual backgrounds</a>, and honors the university’s renowned science program with light fixtures made from iron pipes above the artwork evoke the feeling of a science lab. (Be sure to “hit the books” on a weekday, the location is closed on the weekends over the summer.)

Starbucks welcomes customers with new summer-inspired menu

https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2020/starbucks-welcomes-customers-with-new-summer-inspired-menu/

The camp staple from the 1960s and ’70s is having another pop culture moment, with tie-dye becoming one of the hottest fashion trends of 2019. Now Tie-Dye Frappuccino® blended beverage is available starting today (July 10) at participating Starbucks stores in the United States and Canada for a limited time, while supplies last.

The beverage is made with a tropical Crème Frappuccino with dashes of powder in yellow, red and blue (which gets its color from red beet, turmeric and spirulina) that mix to make a rainbow of vibrant hues. The beverage is topped with whipped cream and a final dusting of colored powder.

Paloma Carrington-Bataller designed the colorful beverage and worked with the baristas at <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2019/inside-the-tryer-center-the-starbucks-lab-where-anything-is-possible/">the Tryer Center</a> to perfect the build.

“We wanted to create something that celebrates summer and really conveys it both visually and through flavor within the beverage,” she said.&nbsp;“We knew it had to make you smile at first sight and our Tie-Dye Frappuccino does all this! It’s summer in a cup and something everyone can relate to; it takes you back to sunny warm days of summer spent at camp or with friends and family.”&nbsp;

Just as no two tie-dyes are alike, each beverage will have its own unique combination of swirling shades. 

“It's bright and colorful and fun and should bring a smile to your face,” Carrington-Bataller said. “Perfect for the heydays of summer.”

Once upon a time, s’mores were a humble dessert. The original recipe was from a scouting magazine in the 1920s, calling for a toasted marshmallow sandwiched between pieces of chocolate and two graham crackers. 

But now s’mores aren’t just for campfires anymore. 

You can roast your own tableside in high-end restaurants, sidle up to a s’mores bar at a wedding reception, or order them to-go at a neighborhood food truck. They have inspired such culinary creations as s’mores grilled cheese sandwiches, muffins and pizza – even a s’mores burrito. There’s something nostalgic in that combination of melted chocolate, roasted marshmallow and crunchy graham crackers that makes it <a href="https://imbibeinc.com/food-and-beverage-industry-media/blog-postings-from-the-drink-tank/trendspotting-2019-trends">one of the top beverage trends for 2019</a>.

Now Starbucks <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/frappuccino-blended-beverages/s-mores-frappuccino">S’mores Frappuccino®</a> blended coffee <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2019/smores-frappuccino-blended-beverage-will-return-to-starbucks-next-week/">is back in Starbucks stores</a> in the United States and Canada starting today (April 30) for a limited time, while supplies last (along with <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/frappuccino-blended-beverages/mocha-cookie-crumble-frappuccino-blended-coffee">Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino</a> and <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/frappuccino-blended-beverages/caramel-ribbon-crunch-frappuccino-blended-beverage">Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino</a>).

It was those memories of summertime that first sparked the idea for the beverage, which was first introduced in 2015. Paloma Carrington-Bataller, manager of product development for Starbucks, wasn’t yet on the R&amp;D team but knows its origin story well.

“When we start creating a new beverage, we always try to think about our customer. What they are doing? How do they want to be feeling? What is their mindset? All those things go into every beverage we make,” she said.

The R&amp;D partners started with the idea of summers in the outdoors and spending time with friends and family. That led to the concept of roasting s’mores around a campfire. They came up with a Frappuccino recipe that’s a deconstructed version of the fireside classic with milk chocolate sauce, a creamy blend of vanilla, coffee, milk and ice that’s finished off with marshmallowy whipped cream and a graham cracker crumble. 

“Customers loved it,” Carrington-Bataller said. “There’s something about that first sip of marshmallow whip and the rich texture of our amazing milk chocolate sauce. It takes you right back to memories of summer camp or gathering around a bonfire with friends.”

The Frappuccino was a customer-favorite for three summers before <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2019/smores-frappuccino-blended-beverage-will-return-to-starbucks-next-week/">taking a hiatus</a> in 2018 and had a passionate fan base like <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2018/fall-arrives-at-starbucks-with-return-of-psl/">Pumpkin Spice Latte</a>. Customers didn’t take it well.

“My friends know I work at Starbucks and I got phone calls from them, asking why it wasn’t in stores,” she said. “People were upset!” 

Now that S’mores Frappuccino is back on the menu at Starbucks this summer by popular demand, she gets to enjoy hearing from friends about their favorite drink again. 

“I think one of the reasons people love s’mores so much is that they aren’t something you make for only yourself,” she said. “It’s something that’s shared with others.”
