Started today apparently. Per their site:

The Maple Pecan Latte is a tasty blend of fall flavors like maple syrup, pecan and brown butter, finished with colorful maple-flavored topping

Has anyone tried it yet? What's the verdict?

Edit because some people are freaking out about the amount of sugar in the largest size available.
Short: 23g sugar
Tall: 35g sugar
Grande (16 oz): 45g sugar (16oz Coke: 52g sugar)
Venti: 56g sugar

It's still a lot of sugar, but it's not particularly egregious as far as sugary drinks go.

 

[mdubs]

That sound quite good, I’d like to try it

 

[shnurgleton]

I'd eat that as a pie but I wouldn't drink it

 

[Skellig Gra]

Sounds way too sweet.

I don't understand why Maple is a fall flavor. It's made in the winter/early spring.

 

[amaretto]

Didn’t Dunkin Donuts get this first? It was pretty good.

Yep, that's Starbucks alright.

 

[Stinkles]

Shoutout to the GOAT Starbucks thing ever.

The Apple Crumble Frappucino (Japan)

Possible it exists elsewhere.

What does it taste like? Like an excellent home made apple crumble. Not a neuron out of place.

 

[BriGuy]

It'll help you get that protective layer of blubber insulation for the winter.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I'll probably try it the next time I'm at Starbucks.

 

[phanphare]

it's solely because fall is when the leaves turn

 

[Antiwhippy]

Sounds like a cup of diabetes.

 

[daveo42]

Sounds like liquid sugar in a cup, not a latte.

 

[Ullus]

Jesus Christ, waaaaay too much sugar.

 

[Drey1082]

They had free samples at my Starbucks this morning. It’s very good. Tastes like it’s horrible for you.

 

[hitme]

Dammit Starbucks, just bring back the Toasted Graham Latte.

That was god tier.

 

[Timedog]

I'll probably just piss in the general direction of my own mouth because I'm too lazy to get out of bed during an anime marathon, but I'm dehydrated with dry mouth and need fluids. I have a Starbucks gift card and live a block away from one for the past 2 years but haven't used the gift card for some reason.

 

[Chris R]

Jesus Christ, waaaaay too much sugar.

It's 35g of sugar in a 12oz serving, 4g less than the same sized Coca-Cola.

It does have more calories though (220 vs 140), from the fat in the drink, even if you select non-fat milk.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

$5 for this shit, guys. Don't buy into the lunacy. Go get a few tallboys and drink on the library stairs.

 

[Dead Prince]

how much sugar is in it. does it make up 70% of the content?

 

[SoundofSilence]

Uh, it's posted in this thread. Sugar makes up 100% of the content.

 

[Izuna]

Is this coffee?

I can feel the fillings in my teeth screaming.

 

[Bleepey]

[Widdle Puppy]

bet that shit tastes like a mouth full of sugar like all their drinks do

 

[esmith08734]

Holy shit at those nutritional values.

 

[SoundofSilence]

Is this coffee?

It's coffee for people who hate coffee.

For the largest size, sure.

23g sugar for small. Still crazy but not too insane.

 

[FTF]

^ ah ok, thanks.

Wow, what size is that?

 

[snacknuts]

These things work okay as flavored creamer for regular coffee. Drinking them plain is blech.

 

[SoundofSilence]

^ ah ok, thanks.



Wow, what size is that?

Venti, 20 oz.

 

[cloudstrife]

They're calling it the "PSL-killer".

 

[siddx]

That sounds scrumptious as fuck.

 

[OneEightZero]

The best part about it is the sprinkles on top.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Went to Starbucks last night, had the signs up, but the manager didn't want to sell me one despite all my pleading

 

[mnannola]

What is the Starbucks equivalent of the "Taco Bel - Josh Freeman" meme? Some famous fat hipster?

 

[Robot Carnival]

I'm not a coffee person but I might give this a try since I love pecan.

 

[Septimus Prime]

This sounds like it's either really good or really bad.

Go big or go home?

My daughter was just telling me about this....she tried it today and said its excellent! You can get it hot or iced. I'm going to try one tomorrow, iced.

 

[Queen Vulpix]

The Starbucks being built in my city needs to hurry up and finish already I need this! T_T Did try the Dunkin Donuts version a few weeks ago and it was pretty good.

 

[hydruxo]

Oh huh. I'll have to try this.

56 grams! Holy shit.

 

[shoepolishsmelling]

Why Why!!!???? I love pecans, and now maple pecan lattes it's probably delicious but at 56 grams of sugar it's just a gut bomb.

Does anyone else drink the skinny options at Starbucks? It's gotten to the point where I prefer them over full fat and sugar. It's like the slightly bitter taste is inviting.

Get a small. With almond milk it comes to 18g (but prob tastes like crap).

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Look at all these people scared of sugar.

However, I wouldn't drink this particular beverage, as I prefer maple on pancakes and nowhere else.
