"Vanilla sweet cream is a mix of milk, cream, and vanilla syrup. Starbucks employees prepare a fresh batch of this every day for use in various cold foams and signature drinks, like the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. Its sweet, thick texture makes it a favorite for many customers. But an individual store can only hold so much of it at a time."
"A Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte is 16 ounces and uses 12 ounces of milk as a base. Swapping that for vanilla sweet cream substantially increases the sugar and calories in a drink, thanks to the extra vanilla syrup and the heavy whipping cream, the latter of which has about six times the calories of an equivalent amount of 2% milk. When it's compared to drinking melted ice cream, you can see why."
Customizable Starbucks drinks became widespread after 2010, leading to many complex orders that baristas now handle regularly. Vanilla sweet cream combines milk, cream, and vanilla syrup and is prepared fresh daily for cold foams and signature beverages. Individual stores have limited capacity and sweet cream is usable for about 48 hours, so it is often made one pitcher at a time with precise measurements. Making extra pitchers during busy shifts is time-consuming and can slow service. Replacing milk with vanilla sweet cream significantly raises sugar and calorie content because of added syrup and heavy whipping cream, prompting barista frustration.
