ooo what all is in the oat milk tropical frapp?
theepi_pillodu 36 points 1y ago
I want to know too. It's non-dairy..!

And tropical probably means mango fruit (based on the color especially).

we’ve convinced our SM to let us do more artsy stuff for the boards and come up with different drinks to feature. of course any drink we come up with, we have to be able to ring it in correctly to minimize confusion and such. this sample board is so cute i wanna do something like this at my store.
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 34 points 1y ago
We had a thing called ‘Tropical Fruit Smoothie Mixture’ to make smoothies with. But I made this one just like a Strawberry’s and Cream but instead of the Strawberry Puree I put in the Tropical Fruit Smoothie Mixture, it has a mango/passionfruit flavour, very tasty!

How did you make a lime and berry refresher? Was this picture from a long time ago?
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 21 points 1y ago
Very Berry refresher, but put in lime syrup and lime wheels. Kinda made it up myself, I really like it!
Canadiansbux 20 points 1y ago
We don't have any of that in Canada.
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 16 points 1y ago
Sorry I meant lemon syrup, for the Lemon Tea? Or don’t you sell Lemon Tea there?
drinkliquidclocks 55 points 1y ago
America and many (most?) other counties don’t have anything lime or lemon anymore besides lemonade
BlackberryOpposite31 20 points 1y ago
Maybe it’s not in the US. I know it still exists in other countries.
theepi_pillodu 5 points 1y ago
Yeah, and is the taste close to berry sangria?
Chub-boat 14 points 1y ago
I want iced sample cups 🥺
Necessary_Low939 -50 points 1y ago
If u work at Starbucks. Every store has it.
brattneybiscuit 27 points 1y ago
Not if your supervisor/manager doesn’t order them. :/
Necessary_Low939 -49 points 1y ago
It’s somewhere in the storage room. Every Starbucks I’ve been to has them somewhere stored away. Just like those French presses. Some guy wanted us to use a French press instead of a pour over for his coffee and we just lied to him because we didn’t wanna do it. The entitlement of that customer.
BlooperBoo 24 points 1y ago
We definitely do not have iced sample cups, never have. And my store is the size of my pinky so I would know
dankmobile 18 points 1y ago
do you understand the concept of “not every store is like the stores you’ve been to?” if the SM isn’t ordering them, then they don’t have them
uwumoment 13 points 1y ago
i reaalllyy wish i could do this at my store but also the customers are so disgusting they’d probably leave the empty cups on the tables and stuff
ProfessorSalt413 9 points 1y ago
Whats the one written in purple on the left?
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 4 points 1y ago
Its a creme frappuccino with blackberry dust mixed in from the very berry refresher! Made it up myself :) Its so good
Brista321 7 points 1y ago
Ahh yes I love my daily “sampling” of an iced white chocolate mocha. 😜
Mysterious_Funny_925 2 points 1y ago
Lol
mekayla96 6 points 1y ago
AH ITS SO CUTE
mysteriousjuror 4 points 1y ago
This is cuteee. Reminds me of when I threw a house party for my bday and I told my manager I’m taking the sample cups as shot glasses. LMAO not me pouring full four-ounce shots of Tequila for my guests 🤭
nerdyoats 4 points 1y ago
This is adorable but where is your store located?? I'm in the US and we don't have more than half of these things! Are y'all a licensed store or something?
brattneybiscuit 5 points 1y ago
OP said they’re from The Netherlands
nerdyoats 1 points 1y ago
Gotcha, i saw that comment after commenting this. Thanks!
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
My store is located in Eindhoven, the Netherlands! Most of these things are not on the menu but I made them up myself !
nerdyoats 1 points 1y ago
Got it! That's so cool! They look really good.

In the US we don't have the lime syrup stuff or any smoothie things! We don't even have fresh fruit unless you count the blueberries for oatmeal or the freezedried stuff. 😵‍💫
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
True, but we have way less syrups than you guys, we have; caramel, vanilla, hazelnut, chai, mocha and white mocha. That’s it. Then we have SHC and Matcha powder for hot drinks. And seasonal syrups sometimes like PSL or GB
nerdyoats 1 points 1y ago
Oh damn. I'd call that a blessing in disguise, tbh. The amount of shenanigans people pull with the sugary syrups here is a HUGE issue where sometimes people will request so many in their drinks that they are essentially 80% syrup and 19% milk and 1% coffee. Im sure you guys get that over there too though. I guess people go a little nuts with the syrup on our little corner of the world 😅
Fozzybean 3 points 1y ago
Fresh lime!?
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 5 points 1y ago
Apparently the Netherlands is one of the only countries where lime hasn’t been diecontinued😅
RedKamo 3 points 1y ago
This is adorable. I want a lime refresher!
Necessary_Low939 2 points 1y ago
This is probably a while ago, since like wheels are discontinued
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 24 points 1y ago
Oh I live in The Netherlands and they aren’t discontinued here :)
Necessary_Low939 2 points 1y ago
Cool, good to know.
sero5074 1 points 1y ago
Is that Matcha I see??!
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
It is :)
prhamm 1 points 1y ago
wait

where the FUCK did you get lime wheels

cool lime better be coming back
madisonla 1 points 1y ago
How would that work?
sero5074 1 points 1y ago
Where’d u get that lemon slice from
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
we use it as an ingrediënt for our most popular refresher: the cool lime refresher, I heard it’s not available in the US though.
sero5074 1 points 1y ago
Where are you located? Edit seen you said the Netherlands. That’s awesome. Your creations are a hit lol!
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Yeah I didn’t expect it to be seen by so many people😂 My store is the best, it’s not the busiest store and there’s a lot of room for stuff like this, I love it
aspiringgrandpa -6 points 1y ago
wait do you all drink from the same cup? y’all use different straws i hope 😰
VeterinarianSalt8322 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
each drink is for 1 customer only! Our cafe is very small, with a maximum capacity of 20 people, and it was not busy.
aspiringgrandpa 1 points 1y ago
omg ok, sorry i was confused 😖
ONETHICCBOIII -14 points 1y ago
Ugh why still plastic straws tho?
59625962 12 points 1y ago
Because paper straws suck
ONETHICCBOIII -10 points 1y ago
And single use plastics are ruining our environment
Loh-Doh 25 points 1y ago
No, 71% of companies are ruining our environment. Don't blame a barely above minimum wage barista.
