    Hey! I love Carmel macchiatos. I've been doing nonfat milk but the calories are still pretty high. Any favorites that are low cal and yummy?

    I agree with whoever said water LOL. They have the best ice water. Below are my go-to's:
    1. Cold brew with skim milk + 2 SF vanilla and 2 hazelnut
    2. Unsweetened iced Passion tea
    3. Hot Americano with skim + 4 SF vanilla, 1 toffee and 1 SF mocha

    I usually get iced coffee with milk or Starbucks double shot on ice (the drink, not just two shots) with a sugar free syrup or half sugar free/half regular.

    Black coffee here most of the time - but iced tea any flavor without sugar is good too! On a splurge green tea latte.

    I recently had a venti blonde caramel macchiato with almond milk and I fell in love. It was 2/300 calories. I was ok with that. It was yummy.

    When it’s not time for my free drink I generally stick to my tall blonde roast....no room :)

    I usually go for either a flat white with almond milk and add splenda--tastes so good! I don't even like almond milk that much, but the flavor is so much nicer than soy or regular milk for some reason. I also like iced americanos with sugar free mocha syrup and splenda added.

    I have never really been a fan of starbucks coffee. I got some gift certificates for Christmas and recently tried their cold brew. It was pretty tasty - and that is what I will get with the rest of the certificates.

    Tall coconut milk vanilla latte is 170 calories I believe. And so very yummy!

    Peppermint soy latte. Once ordered it randomly, and I love it now.

    I get a grande nonfat misto with sugar free caramel. A misto is half filter coffee and half steamed milk--I find a latte too filling and this is a nice compromise. It's not on the regular menu, but every store I've been to always knows what it is. 70 calories. Sometimes I get it with almond milk, which is 50.

    This is crazy, I know. But I rarely go and I like my treats, this is about 100 cals
    Grande vanilla bean frap
    Sub almond milk
    One pump only LIGHT frap base
    Two scoops vanilla powder
    Pump sugar free vanilla
    Or
    Two sweeteners
    No whip
    To lower even more ask extra ice, double blended

    I usually get an Americano (hot or iced, both are good) because I find Starbucks coffee tastes sort of burnt and somehow the flavor seems stronger & smoother with the addition of that espresso shot & water.

    If I am looking for something sweeter my go-to drinks are a skinny vanilla latte (so much better IMO than their skinny mocha) or a coffee frappucino which isn't super sweet and doesn't have whipped cream, so it's slightly better if still pretty caloric at around 260 for a grande. I've found nothing better for a sore throat, oddly enough, than the coffee frap.

    I often get Chai Tea and then add some skim milk and an Equal or two. Tastes just as good as a Chai Latte!

    Better off with Stevia and coconut milk tho

    Tall Americano.

    I like mine with ristretto shots and less water so it’s a bit stronger. I like my hot one black and iced with a stevia and splash of coconut milk. SO good!

    I usually get a 'tall - pour over'...with a hit of stevia.
    If summer, a 'pour over' iced version

    however, nothing is beating the stove top espresso maker I've recently been using at home (with Kicking Horse espresso). Beats Starbucks any day imo

    None. I drink my coffee black with Splenda or Stevia; I don't add any kind of milk or creamer, and don't like Starbucks. I prefer the Tea Leaf and Coffee Bean company or some of the local Java places in my neighbor.

    They can be found in some stores. They have a Facebook page and website. I never feel like I have an acidic after taste when I drink it. My fave is Caffeinated as *kitten*
