Question for the baristas, what was the most calorie-rich drink you made? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by fluffehbunneh98
So I'm writing a story involving a character who's **TALL** and needs the calories (so he loves sweets)

Trenta Iced Coffee with 12 pumps classic syrup (10Cal/pump), 12 pumps white mocha sauce, 12 pumps caramel syrup, extra heavy cream, vanilla sweet cream (VSC), and VSC Foam.

⅓ of the drink was straight sugar.
⅓ of the drink was heavy cream and VSC.
⅓ of the drink was VSCF and actual iced coffee (there was more foam than coffee).

This I think was about the same amount of coffee that would fit in a SAMPLE cup. Also, VSC is a mix of heavy cream, 2% milk, and vanilla syrup. Easily 800-1000Cal for the entire drink.

Dude, do you work at my store? Cuz that’s almost identical to what a person gets from mine. And they usually get two, one for them and one for their brother. 😂

Daily reminder: 20 ounces of heavy cream is 2,000 calories.

Pink drinks with heavy cream and VSCCFoam
buubuubitch 26 points 1y ago
Had a regular who would get a trenta pink drink (sometimes two) with sub sweet cream and add VSCCF on top, and sometimes added syrup

Why do people hate their teeth
King_Spamula 16 points 1y ago
And three scoops of vanilla bean powder in it as well
deeciphered 2 points 1y ago
Yup we have regulars get that one then claim we made it wrong over the phone and demand remakes. All the time.
Jandcat27 36 points 1y ago
Someone wanted a iced venti vanilla latte made with VSC
289partnerofq 10 points 1y ago
That used to be my 110lb girlfriend. She’d get it everyday, blonde, VSC as the milk, 6 pumps vanilla, 3pumps caramel, 3 pumps cinnamon dolce. How she managed to get that down. I have no idea.

Venti caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino made with heavy cream.
brattneybiscuit 6 points 1y ago
I feel like that’s better than getting a venti latte with heavy cream
BbaeSae 3 points 1y ago
in terms of fat content there’s less of it in the frappe because we use little “milk” but the sugar just overpowers it

Fucking frappes

Those fucking frappuccinos

Well when a boy frappuccino and a girl frappuccino love each other very much...
fluffehbunneh98 [OP] 10 points 1y ago
NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!
briannuzzi 10 points 1y ago
i think they mean frappes are just usually very sugary on their own, so when people make even MORE customizations to them they are PACKED with sugar and calories lol

Cold drinks: probably a caramel crunch or Java chip Frappuccino with heavy cream.
Hot drinks: the seasonal eggnog latte or a white mocha with heavy cream 👁👄👁
Adventurous_Yam_54 7 points 1y ago

drinkliquidclocks 6 points 1y ago
I have a customer who gets a venti mocha frap with 5 pumps of hazelnut, 5 vanilla, and 5 mocha 😥😥😥

I also have a girl who gets in her iced white mocha- all 6 pumps WM, Vanilla, and caramel and she gets it made with sweet cream 😟
Victoriamarie03 5 points 1y ago
I've had multiple people as for their frappachino made with sweet cream instead of whole milk.

Multiple people ask for a refresher with the sccf but this one particular person I'm remembering asked for 10. More. Pumps of vanilla. In her sweet cream... after explaining multiple times it won't foam and that were hearing her right we made it... and she didn't like it .

I've had someone get a strawberry acai with green tea instead of water and 20 pumps of classic... after she went on her whole tangent about how she promised her son she wouldn't order it anymore, she finally paid, and I felt absolutely horrible. -def a good drink though she got a trenta and usually I get a grande with like 5 pumps classic... 3/4 usually, 5 if I want it sweeeeeeet

Also I'm not sure if everyone else gets these lovely older Asian people who always get an iced whatever espresso with pumps of white mocha and heavy cream on the side.... yea I got one on those who wanted 20 pumps white mocha for their iced triple espresso, they wanted whip cream and a side of sweet cream... I was in pure shock hearing this ... I really almost wanted to see like how you even drink something like that...



lol I have no clue how many calories just wayyyy too many
i_meanOK 5 points 1y ago
I had one drink that was so calorie dense that it took the cake from every other drink on bar.

Trenta(32 oz) ice coffee
7 pumps of
-vanilla
-classic
-caramel
-brown sugar
And
5 pumps white mocha
With/
Extra cream
Extra coconut
Extra HC
Light ice

Extra Caramel drizzle
Extra mocha cookie crumbles

There was literally less than 1 inch of actual coffee in the cup
VastLarge 3 points 1y ago
one time someone asked for a venti black tea with 45 PUMPS of LIQUID CANE!!
official_koda_ 3 points 1y ago
Someone literally comes EVERYDAY…for the past five months or so…and gets a venti iced white mocha sub sweet cream for the 2% milk and sweet cream foam. Easily 800+ calories
Kindly-Trust7211 3 points 1y ago
For standard, non customized drinks (there could be thousands of answers) id say white mochas and fraps by far
ek420g 3 points 1y ago
this regular of mine gets TWO quad venti lattes, double cupped, with whole milk, 13 pumps of classic, and no foam. he comes at least twice a day, and drinks both. not the highest calorie drink i’ve ever made but it adds up to the highest calorie customer i’ve ever served 😭
dontgiveah00t 2 points 1y ago
Pink drink but breve… yeah…
Remarkable_Hold_2342 2 points 1y ago
I once had to make a tall iced coffee with 4 pumps of white mocha and 12 pumps of liquid cane. All I could think of was how disgustingly sweet that drink was.
deeciphered 1 points 1y ago
I have a regular who gets a trenta iced coffee with classic, vanilla, wm and Caramel, with extra pumpkin foam.
deeciphered 1 points 1y ago
Trenta pink drink no coconut milk. Sub vanilla sweet cream no ice no berries with vanilla
hilaerious-1 1 points 1y ago
This was when I worked at a Target Starbucks ages ago: Venti caramel Frappuccino made with heavy cream, whip cream on the top and bottom, extra mocha and caramel drizzle and two pumps of every syrup, including sugar free. This was back when we had SFCR, SFH, SFP, and SFM, as well as coconut syrup. So about 26 pumps of syrup.
Top-Percentage-2931 1 points 1y ago
This was before trenta existed and before the Frappuccino recipe changed (I think it was 2010). A woman ordered:
Venti Java Chip Frappuccino
6 pumps Mocha
6 pumps White Mocha
8 pumps raspberry
4 scoops Java Chips
1 scoop vanilla bean
DOUSE the cup in mocha syrup and caramel
Whip cream
Pour more caramel into dome lid until it becomes so heavy it sinks to the bottom

This was in Northern California and she SWORE it was a PNW favorite and that everyone in Oregon drank it. She was borderline offended I didn’t know what the drink was.
agigante02 1 points 1y ago
had someone come in dt the other day and ask for a venti mocha cookie crumble made with sweet cream, 4 scoops van bean powder, 5 pumps of white mocha and 3 pumps of toasted wm, ex caramel drizz and ex mocha drizz, ex cookie crumble, and ex whip. looking at that monstrosity made me want to VOMIT. theres no way that could possibly taste good in the slightest.

venti caramel crunch with extra extra drizzle & topping, extra whip, 12 pumps dark caramel, and made with heavy cream
NiteLiteOfficial 1 points 1y ago
idk about calories but sugar. this woman came through our drive thru and apparently she’s been coming a lot recently cuz the drive thru bar person got pissed off just hearing her voice. she wanted a caramel frappe with extra caramel so she made the drink loaded with caramel sauce all over the sides of the cup. long story short the woman handed me back the drink 2 times to add more caramel to the point where we had literally put a third of the bottle into her one grande sized drink. nasty
fluffehbunneh98 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
I’ll be honest, the caramel frappes just taste gross to me.
I’ll occasionally order a hot caramel coffee but not from starbucks (as iconic as starbucks is I just prefer more chill coffee places)

Strawberry and cream frap made with heavy whipping cream.
donaldglovered 1 points 1y ago
y'all tbh i can't stand the taste of coffee so i always put two shots of blonde espresso in a shaker with 6 pumps brown sugar, 6 pumps sugar cookie, 3 pumps vanilla, 1 pump apple brown sugar, and shake in oatmilk and sweet cream. how many calories is this
ohheyyitskc 2 points 1y ago
well there’s 10 cals in one pump of syrup and 2000 calories in a certain amount of heavy cream which is in the sweet cream so i’m sure it’s a hefty amount 😅

Venti iced white mocha, 12 pumps white mocha, made with sweet cream and not milk, VSC cold foam, EXTRA caramel drizzle (all in and around the cup as well as on top).
dangerousdeliights 1 points 1y ago
had a regular who got a venti iced caramel macchiato made with vsc instead of 2%, with extra caramel
dyeforthehype 1 points 1y ago
Iced white mocha with vanilla sweet cream instead of milk probably
kmoonster 1 points 1y ago
A hot chocolate made with heavy cream would get my vote. You can make it a mocha-add-vanilla if they need caffeine. Made as a frappucino this would add the calories in the 'base' that keeps the drink coherent long enough to drink it.

(A hot chocolate frapp would be a vanilla bean, add mocha pumps; and in this instance made with heavy cream).

carmel drizzle added to the drink would boost it further
Erbearlee 1 points 1y ago
I have a customer who used to get a venti iced white mocha with toffee nut, hazelnut, vanilla and caramel (full pumps of each) topped with vsccf and extra caramel drizzle and instead of 2% she would ask for breve. 🤢. Since the holiday launch, she’s been getting an iced white mocha with caramel brûlée, pumpkin and vanilla with pccf and extra caramel drizzle still breve. Oh and keep the whip.
Top-Percentage-2931 1 points 1y ago
That sounds so rank. Has anyone else tried it?
It_is_Katy 1 points 1y ago
my go to drink for years before I started working there was a venti chai frappucino, 6 pumps chai.

my own estimate once I started working there and had the resources to figure out how much the extra chai adds is like 900 calories.

I get iced chai lattes now lmao
fluffehbunneh98 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
hi me again :D

my bff (I would kill for them) works at Starbucks and I just thought of this

Trenta Java chip frappe, 5 pumps chocolate, 10 pumps caramel

a person orders a venti hot pike 10CL 10V 10Hz and the top 1/3 of the cup cream. when i’m done stirring it, it’s lukewarm at best. they do not want steamed cream.
