A full tasting of Starbucks' fall menu revealed numerous offerings that made choosing a favorite difficult. Starbucks is not the typical coffee choice in Portland, given the city's many specialty shops, but several seasonal items stood out. Seasonal cold foams proved decadent and extremely creamy. Egg bites were an unexpectedly pleasant bite. Drip coffee brewed smoothly and was taken home. The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew returns combining cold brew, vanilla syrup, pumpkin cream cold foam, and pumpkin spice. The beverage is positioned as an iced transitional option for early fall when temperatures remain warm.
Starbucks doesn't usually stand out, and I tend to reserve my Frappuccino indulgences for the occasional trip into the suburbs. I might have to make an exception this fall. The seasonal cold foams are decadent and insanely creamy, the egg bites offered a more than pleasant surprise, and even the drip coffee went down incredibly easy. (In fact, that's the one drink I took home with me.)
Returning to the fall menu is Starbucks' Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, a delectable combination of the chain's cold brew coffee and vanilla syrup. The drink is finished off with pumpkin cream cold foam and some pumpkin spice. It's seemingly meant to be the ideal beverage to usher in fall while the days are still hot - after all, we all need an iced option during that finicky transitional period.
