The Most Popular Starbucks Drinks Among Baristas After analyzing the three lists of favorite Starbucks drinks mentioned by baristas, here are some of the most frequently repeated orders:

1. Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso This relative newcomer to the Starbucks menu has quickly become a barista favorite, with many adding their own tweaks like extra shots, pumps of white mocha, or cinnamon powder.

2. Iced Chai Tea Latte A classic choice, baristas love to customize their iced chais with additions like brown sugar syrup, shots of blonde espresso, or flavored cold foams.

3. Iced White Mocha The iced white mocha was another top pick, often paired with blonde espresso shots and alternative milks like oat or coconut. Baristas also liked to add toppings such as sweet cream cold foam, caramel drizzle and cinnamon dolce for an extra indulgent treat.

4. Iced Matcha Latte For those looking for a coffee alternative, the iced matcha latte was a popular choice. Baristas experimented with sweeteners like brown sugar or vanilla syrup, as well as fun mix-ins like chai or strawberry puree.

5. Iced Blonde Espresso (Variety) Whether it be a shaken espresso, americano, latte or flat white, blonde shots were definitely the espresso of choice among baristas. These drinks were often paired with alternative milks and flavored syrups.

6. Refreshers and Iced Teas Another popular coffee alternative, baristas like to customize their with lemonade, juice inclusions (peach, pineapple) and flavored syrups. Popular combinations included Strawberry Açaí Lemonade with raspberry syrup or Passion Tango Tea with liquid cane sugar.

7. Cold Brew (Variety) A simpler option, baristas mention using a variety of additions like sweet cream foam, hazelnut or toffee nut syrup, and toppings like caramel drizzle or cinnamon powder.

8. Frappuccinos Overall, baristas seem to enjoy putting their own creative spin on the Starbucks classic, with non-standard builds like using cold brew or blonde shots instead of frapp roast, adding sweet cream, or mixing in syrups and inclusions not typically included in the recipe (e.g. Java chip with white mocha). Starbucks Cold Brew Starbucks Cold Brews are among favorites for baristas.

While many baristas stuck to tweaks on menu classics, others shared their own unique “secret menu” creations. Standouts included: A “deconstructed” brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso with ristretto shots, white mocha and a splash of oat milk A matcha lemonade mixed with peach juice and blended for a slushy texture An iced London Fog (Earl Grey tea latte) with brown sugar and cinnamon Cold brew topped with dark caramel cold foam and caramel crunch topping for a “caramel macchiato” vibe A passion tango tea mixed with strawberry açaí base and liquid cane sugar for a fruity refresher A Caramel Apple Spice drink modified with no cinnamon dolce, steamed with spiced apple drizzle, and topped with caramel and whipped cream. The Pink Drink customized with scoops of vanilla bean, lighter on the strawberry, and extra coconut milk, revealing a creamier and more dessert-like version of the popular refreshment. An innovative take on the Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino, where classic syrup is substituted with white mocha, sometimes adding java chips and mocha drizzle for an indulgent twist.
