Awwww charli... you don't have caffee nero there.. far superior coffee.

If you're going to Starbucks though.. and if you get a good barista.. a Mocha Valencia is lush.

Ohhh, I love frappichino! Just the plain ones, not the sickly sweet caramel ones. Lovely!

I only ever get these things whe travelling on motorways and then nothing more exciting than a large latte.
They seem to be about half a gallon and cost somewhere in the region of a fiver?

I went to England last summer and I popped into a Nero's. Very nice

Nice suggestions though

Yeah Garage Joe, Starbucks is always expensive

Poor the tea bag.

Don't worry tea, I will always love and support you!

I can't make cups of tea

Well said.

overpriced but great...

I've always made an effort to boycott Starbucks after they charged me £2.50 for a marshmallow with some chocolate on it

Oooo errrr

I never got marshmallows though....

I love the cold drinks. A coffee frapcuccino with a caramel shot or a mocha frapuccino are both deliscious or a Cafe Mocha or Caramel Machiato over ice. Mmmmm.

I owed my friend some money and she wanted that

I was a bit distressed at spending that much on just some sugar.

Starbucks don't do tea so Mr Tea don't do Starbucks.

Right I'm going

See you in a bit

Yes they do. http://starbucks.co.uk/en-GB/_...orld+of+Tazo+Tea.htm

Although, it's not what I call proper tea, like a nice pot of loose leaf Assam in a warmed pot that I always have when I go to Betty's in York.

Any suggestions?

The only reason I got to Starbucks is to buy a vanilla and coffee frappucino and a cornflake square.


Last weekend, I finally cracked how to make those squares and they are the dog's doodas! All I have to crack now is how to make the frap!

Good luck with that

I need to fnd out how they make the cinnamon swirls and frapuccinos. I even bought he caramel syrup from there but I've not cracked it yet.

Think I'll need it Charli!


But those choc cornflake squares....they are lush....and even better now I know how to make them saving £1.35 for a square.

Thanks Charli. I'll get hubby to give the Frapuccino a go later, it'll give him a chance to experiment with his new Nespresso machine. The cinnamon swirl's not the same but I might try the basic dough recipe and add the fruit etc later. I think it's similar to one I've already got for my breadmaker. I'll let you know if they turn out ok.

Awww sorry Queenie. I don't think I've ever had the cinnamon swirl so I didn't know what recipe to look for so I gave you the link to the first one I found

Good luck both of you *bows down cos you're both queens and I'm a humble princess*
