With winter upon us, I’ve been seriously been craving some Starbucks. Whether it’s a Pumpkin Spice Latte or a Peppermint Mocha, I just want something warm. But if you’re like me, you’re sometimes stuck in a situation— you don’t know what side to order with your drink.
Before you know it, you’re at the front of the line and are under pressure to order, so you just blurt out a random food and drink pairing. With this quick list of Starbucks food and drink pairings, you will never be stuck in that situation again.
1. Pumpkin Spice Latte and Banana Nut Bread
This paring is the perfect fall combo. The spices in the pumpkin spice latte match well with the nuttiness of the banana bread.
2. Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino and Vanilla Bean Scone
If you order the Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino, don’t forget this pastry on the side. Vanilla and chocolate is a timeless pair.
#SpoonTip: Dunk that scone right into the Frappuccino for a burst of flavor.
3. Iced Chai Latte and Bistro Box
For the perfect lunch-on-the-go, pair an iced chai latte with any of the Starbucks bistro boxes. The Southwest Steak Wrap (above) or the Thai Style Peanut Chicken Wrap are both delicious options to pair with you iced chai.
#SpoonTip: Add coconut milk to your iced chai for a sweet twist.
4. Blonde Roast Coffee and Classic Oatmeal
For the ideal breakfast, order a blonde roast with a classic oatmeal on the side. This pair will keep you awake and energized the entire day. If you have a sweet tooth, order the dark chocolate and banana caramelized oatmeal instead of the classic.
5. Iced Caramel Macchiato and Chocolate Cake Pop
The caramel flavors of the iced caramel macchiato pair well with the rich chocolate from the cake pop. Plus, who doesn’t like cake on a stick?
6. Iced Green Tea Lemonade and Iced Lemon Pound Cake
Last but not least, who can forget the iced green tea lemonade? Pair it with the iced lemon pound cake to pull out that zesty lemon flavor.
These are just a few of the many Starbucks pairings you can make. If you’re stuck and don’t know what to order when you get to the front of the line, tell the barista one of these combos and you’ll be set.
