A iced white mocha vsccf caramel drizzle confession (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Gavdoggo
I tried it and it’s trash, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of the story. I am a green bean, and if there’s anything I’ve learned from working at my store and this sub, it’s that baristas hate this drink and I get why. Girls my age love it though including my own friends. I have never tried it as a customer because it seemed too sweet. I’m more of a iced espresso, quad, two pumps white mocha girl but eventually curiosity got the best of me and I just had to try it. But Im new and Im still trying to find my place in my store, and was way too embarrassed to go on my day off and ask for that drink because of the… stigma. I felt like I would be like “I’m just trying it for science” but would get roasted anyway. So I use rewards and place a mobile order at a neighboring store so I can anonymously sneak in and get the goods. I then go back to the safety and security of my own home so I can indulge in this monstrosity without judgment… and holy sugar Batman. I couldn’t do it. I brewed a bunch of coffee and am basically using this drink as creamer to not waste it. I did get mine with coconut milk, blonde, add an extra shot as well but I can’t see it being good the standard way it is on Tiktok either. I cannot believe that people can justify the price for… that.

I tried it and got sick from all the sugar and people get defensive when you let them know it tastes like straight sugar

It is SO MUCH SUGAR. My teeth hurt just thinking about it.

i’ve had customers order a venti iced white mocha with SWEET CREAM (no 2%), vsscf, extra caramel drizzle, AND ONLY ONE SHOT. like that’s ALL sugar. IT’S OK TO ADMIT YOU DON’T LIKE COFFEE

white mocha itself is already SO sweet, now add cold foam and extra caramel drizzle?? i can feel my throat tingling from how sweet that drink is. sometimes people ask for one whole shot of espresso in that drink and it’s like, i like the occasional sweet drink but wow. that’s a lot

I’m with you!! I’m a doppio con panna gal myself.
I’m always amazed when one of our regulars comes in for their 14 pump vanilla latte 🤮

Doppio con panna is the shit. But sometimes I want a little more liquid to drink. In that case I’m down for an americano splash of cream. The tiny bit of sweetness from the whole is nice, but I can live without it too.

When it first became a thing, at my store we made a tall and divided into sample cups for like 3 or 4 of us. No one finished their sample size.
I'm pretty sure just getting twice the white mocha and no whip it would probably taste the same as the sugar completely masks any of the other flavors.

Dude just a grande white mocha is 450cals 🤮 that drink has to be a solid sugar meal
