I've just treated myself to a Caramel Coffee one with whipped cream and caramel sauce.

Very naughty but very nice

I had one on Friday when I saw the promo on Twitter!

They are SO SO SO delicious! I see myself consuming far too many of these in the near future...

Tried the new mocha cookie crumble. It was nice, but i wouldn't buy it at full price. Caramel coffee is still my fav, followed by strawberries & cream.

Only thing worth having from Starbucks are the fraps. Had the caramel light today, was perfect for the weather.

It's an ice blended drink either with coffee or cream.

I went into Starbucks (I don't frequent it...it just happened to be the only option in the place I was) looking for something along the lines of the espresso milkshake I get from Clements. I got an iced coffee...it wasn't really what I wanted. Would one of these have been the kind of thing I was after?!

I'm not really up with these fancy coffee's....I like good, strong, espresso or Americano, the rest is somewhat wasted on me, but on hot days like it has been recently, an espresso milkshake is a good caffeine fix.

Was the "iced coffee" you got, literally just coffee with blocks of ice in it?

The word BLENDED in Starbucks make a hell of a difference! lol

Next time you go, try an Espresso Frappuccino Blended Coffee.
It's pretty strong and very satisfying in this weather!

Yes, it was literally coffee with ice in it. To be honest, it's exactly what you'd expect "iced coffee" to be...I was just in a bit of a rush and when I walked into Starbucks it was that thing were I was the only person approaching the counter, with 3 or 4 staff looking at me, I kind of felt under pressure to order straight away! My fault....but I'll definitely try one of those next time, thanks.

Thought i'd just reuse this thread.

Was wondering how the Costa coolers and Nero versions compare to Fraps, if anyone has tried them?

Just a heads up; the half price offer is back on tomorrow from 3pm. Didn't mention a cut off point on the advert, but i guess it's until 5pm again.

It's just a smoothie (blended ice drink) of a different type. Instead of the typical fruit ingredient smoothie it is usually coffee and other flavors added like chocolate.
