Starbucks’ new Spring 2022 drinks and pastries are available in all Starbucks stores nationwide starting Tuesday, February 22. Photo courtesy of Starbucks PHĪs for pastries, you can expect new sweet arrivals this month as well, like Napoleones (P105), Cherry Blossom Crepe Cake (P205), Mango Passion Cheesecake (P265), and Sakura Donut (P60), and savory plant-based treats like the meatless Jamaican Patty (P115) and meatless Shawarma with Falafel (P175). The new Cocoa Cloud Macchiato variant costs the same. It costs P180, P195, and P210 for tall, grande, and venti, respectively. The returning Salted Caramel Cloud Macchiato – which can be ordered hot or iced – is milk steamed with “cloud powder,” layered with espresso, salted caramel syrup, and then topped with caramel drizzle. It costs P185, P200, and P215 for tall, grande, and venti sizes, respectively. The Salted Caramel Frappuccino is Starbucks’ signature Frappuccino roast coffee, blended with milk and salted caramel syrup and then topped with whipped cream and more syrup. It is one of Starbucks’ most exciting new offerings, and I would hope it merits a place on the permanent menu.MANILA, Philippines – If you’re a fan of salty-sweet salted caramel, you’re in luck, because Starbucks is, too! The coffee chain is bringing back the crowd-favorite Salted Caramel Frappuccino and Salted Caramel Cloud Macchiato for a limited time only, while also introducing a new cloud macchiato to the menu.

Though definitely a bit pricey, the cloud macchiato justifies itself as both a dessert drink and a solid daily driver for those in need of a morning pick-me-up. If you are thinking purely economically as you gauge the best way to stay up through your 8:30 a.m., you would be hard-pressed to find anything cheaper than a plain black coffee. With Dooley Dollars, students pay $4.65 for a grande drink - no pun intended for a plentiful amount of milk foam and ice, not coffee. Unfortunately, the inclusion of egg whites prevents any variant of the cloud macchiato from being truly vegan, as Ariana Grande fans, who tried the drink on her endorsement, have recently complained. The presence of the egg white-based foam is critical to the foam’s longevity, as it adds an airy thickness, similar to a meringue. Rather than melting into a bitter former shell of itself, the melted mixture of foam and espresso was still pleasantly bittersweet and relatively creamy. What surprised me was the quality of the cloud macchiato even an hour after I bought it. This is especially problematic if you are searching for a drink to last you a whole 75-minute lecture. My personal main gripe with Starbucks iced drinks is that, after the initial marvel and pleasure, they quickly turn watery and tasteless as the ice melts (see my previous issue with the frappuccino). “But Aditya, how does the drink last?” - a question you may pose as a keen coffee enthusiast. The drink’s distinct layers have been a prominent feature of Starbucks’ marketing for good reason, as the structure allows the strong taste of espresso to neatly balance the palate-cleansing foam and sweet syrup.
Not obfuscated by an overly generous amount of syrup and sweetener like past Frankensteinian abominations like the unicorn frappuccino, the cloud macchiato contains a prominent taste of coffee. The mild sweetness of the foam and syrup is quickly juxtaposed by the sharp flavor of espresso, a bittersweet poetry reminiscent of an affogato - vanilla ice cream bathed in espresso. From there, the cloud macchiato serves an undiluted hit of vanilla and caramel in all its saccharine glory, unlike its evil cousin, the frappuccino, which is often tainted by melted ice.
#Cloud macchiato starbucks crack#
The combination of espresso, cold foam and a pump of Starbucks’ crack cocaine-esque caramel syrup allows the cloud macchiato to succeed as a textural and gustatory symphony, the different clashing parts uniting to form a whole drink.Īt first sip, you get a swig of the rich and milky cloud foam. Starbucks Coffee’s new caramel cloud macchiato delivered all my caffeination needs. With the average cup of coffee at Kaldi’s now at risk of contamination, the Emory population is left in desperate search for a more sanitary means of caffeination.
