Iced green tea latte? With sweet cream foam? Okay.
Pink drink? With pumpkin foam... Sure...
Iced Americano? ....with Vanilla sweet cream foam...? K...
Vanilla bean frappucino? ....... Half pumpkin foam and half salted cream foam..........
What the fuck is up with people with their annoying ass drinks and foam today?

They're all rabid and using the foam to hide that they are personally foaming at the mouth crazy for Starbucks drinks.

It got to the point where I was about to dump a frapp in a foam pitcher instead of a blender pitcher
OneStupidDog 4 points 1y ago
I've been having a similar issue lately lol. Refresher components end up in the blender pitcher

i feel like every other drink i made today had cold foam, lol, someone asked if they could get it on a hot drink

I have a regular who gets a pike with vanilla foam on top. It hurts my soul every time

Does it melt right away?
elsha007 10 points 1y ago
Yes, it melts immediately.
dharvey1995 6 points 1y ago
Sometimes it gets chunky though
deeciphered 3 points 1y ago
I have a regular who gets a venti blonde with salted foam. Every time someone explains that the foam will melt right away and she's always like yeah that's fine.

We have people order it on hot drinks frequently and I don’t get it.
Js_On_My_Yeet [OP] 10 points 1y ago
I was told that we aren't allowed to put cold foam on hot drinks anymore? Something to do with bacteria spreading? Idk.
sheep_heavenly 25 points 1y ago
That's a weird barista myth. Nothing about hot liquid + cold foam makes bacteria magically appear and spread.
It puts the drink (really a small layer of it, briefly) into a lukewarm "danger zone" where bacteria **can** grow better. Bacteria has to be there and grow for a bit. Food safety guidelines allow for food to be stored in the "danger zone" up to two hours before it has to be discarded. We're not responsible for what customers do with their drink after we hand it off. Including maintaining their drink above or below the safe temperature max/min.

What they said^ it’s basically like whipped cream on a hot drink. But way more annoying.
Ordinary-Theory-8289 1 points 1y ago
Yeah someone told me that bacteria thing the other day. I was like “any food or drink you hand out is a breeding ground of bacteria if we use that logic.”

The old version of the Irish Cream Americano had VSCCF on it, but I don’t know if the guidance has changed.
send_me_potatoes 46 points 1y ago
Someone wanted vsccf under their whipped cream.

When someone orders that at my store I say “sorry, we can’t do that. It’s one or the other.” Then they get all pissy at me and say “wElL at tHiS oThEr sToRe ThEy Do It”
lanceofruin 34 points 1y ago
i do have a regular who comes in and asks for a venti pike with vsccf 😭 she is the absolute sweetest and i love seeing her come in but i do wonder why she pays extra for the foam on a hot drink
Js_On_My_Yeet [OP] 13 points 1y ago
She should just get regular vsc cuz that's what it ends up becoming anyways lol
amalia13lightning 12 points 1y ago
it's whipped cream that actually comes through the hole in the lid. i hate making it for other people's drinks but cold foam is superior
Mayachees 15 points 1y ago
The newest TikTok thing we have been getting is dark caramel in vscf on top of brown sugar Oatmilk shaken espressos.
NotyourangeLbabe 16 points 1y ago
I hate that that actually sounds delicious
-beam-me-up- 9 points 1y ago
Ok but pumpkin salt foam hits different ngl. I'd only ever make it myself though I'd never ask another store bc I'm not that kinda way
philosopher_cat_lady 8 points 1y ago
Ewww. It's like, the cold foams are for iced coffee. Otherwise, they just fall into the milk. And that is way too much cream.
kqs13 5 points 1y ago
Okay but salted pumpkin foam is actually really good. And if someone asks for 2 different kinds of foam, they're getting one kind mixed together from me lol
calebaretta 4 points 1y ago
The amount of iced chais with pumpkin foam I made today was absolutely ridiculous
official_koda_ 1 points 1y ago
Nobody is getting more than one foam on a drink lol, We have a regular who will order three types…
