All of my coworkers say its bad. I'm so scared to try ever since my disappointment with the sugar cookie syrup. Idk it makes me wonder like who is pre release taste testing these lmfao

Okay, I'll be the d*ck that says I LOVE THE APPLE BROWN SUGAR SYRUP. don't even get me started on the drizzle! 🤌
canidieyet_ 66 points 10m ago
the drizzle is straight crack
Comfortable_Usual844 19 points 10m ago
TRY the drizzle on top of a cheese danish and you will NOT be disappointed
kennsnaps 5 points 10m ago
Can't have dairy but my coworkers love that!! Also caramel drizzle and cinnamon dolce topping I've heard is amazing on a cheese danish
Camellia_Sins 1 points 10m ago
Double check me before consuming obvs, but last year I'm pretty sure it was dairy free! Not actually a caramel more like a apple spice sugar syrup. I was super surprised!! Haven't checked to see if they changed it though

The drizzle doesn’t taste the same this year 🥲
kennsnaps 3 points 10m ago
I will cry if it's gross
Beautiful-Director 1 points 10m ago
It tastes more apply and not as spiced 🥲

I haven't tried the reformulated one this year (I'm in Canada we had it last fall) but I liked it well enough last fall so I hope they didn't fuck it up too bad. And yes, the drizzle is *chef's kiss*
kennsnaps 2 points 10m ago
Ehhh fellow Canadian barista!
Kivic 7 points 10m ago
I’m with you! I love it! I regularly sub it for the Brown sugar shaken espresso when we have it.
liothepetfox16 12 points 10m ago
try the drizzle blended in VSCCF!!! it tastes like cinnamon toast crunch milk :)
Kivic 2 points 10m ago
Omg 😱 I’ll die of it does.
kennsnaps 1 points 10m ago
Yes!! So good
RudeEstimate2245 2 points 10m ago
THANK YOU
fuckinweed69 1 points 10m ago
Ur not alone this stuff is so good this year!!! Last year it was too soapy but I made myself a steamed oat and apple milk with extra apple and caramel I'm going to be ruined when the season is done
tigerhotel 74 points 10m ago
i feel like it’s the same way with the toasted vanilla syrup, at least at my store. we all hate it, but customers eat that shit up for some reason. who knows!
canidieyet_ 24 points 10m ago
we were out of brown sugar syrup and people were acting like they just discovered a gold mine when they tried the toasted vanilla 😂
ItzBoogieMan 24 points 10m ago
Smells like the medicine you’d drink as a kid for me. 🤢
meegy123 13 points 10m ago
I hated it before I started and my coworkers all say they love it and I’m like…. Umm really? Cause im gagging having to pump that shit
geekgurl81 11 points 10m ago
I don’t like the TV. Even in small amounts it’s just like drinking a candle.
56peas 3 points 10m ago
choc crm cold brew. sub tv. you will change ur mind
emmymariex 2 points 10m ago
1/2/3 half pumps or 2/4/6 half pumps?
56peas 3 points 10m ago
2/3/4 half pumps
GreyCrone8 2 points 10m ago
As soon as I smelled the toasted vanilla I thought of gas station cappuccinos 😂😂
mmms444 22 points 10m ago
One of my coworkers likes it in a chai tea. But I think they only fo 2 pumps so it's not overwhelming
Blue-Sky1325 13 points 10m ago
That would be me. I love an iced chai with apple brown sugar syrup, add a little drizzle for pizzazz
rusted17 4 points 10m ago
Doing this when I go back in thank you for ur service
EngineOriginal7094 1 points 10m ago
I do this as well (iced), one pump less of chai, 2-3 pumps apple brown sugar, Oatmilk, VSCCF and dolce topping.
taebunz 14 points 10m ago
I loved the apple brown sugar syrup and the drizzle is godly.

Blonde latte made with oat or soy milk, apple brown sugar and a pump or two less of hazelnut. It's best hot imo and you can add whip so you can get that nice drizzle :)
Beg1nAga1n 8 points 10m ago
I like it. I think it’s decent wirh oatmilk. I don’t particularly like lattes (I like cold brew, shaken espressos, and undertows), but I made a blonde apple brown sugar iced latte with oatmilk and it was pretty good! I don’t think it’s as chemical-ly as people say. For some context, I hated sugar cookie and I thought the apple brown sugar last year wasn’t good.
dlcksuck 6 points 10m ago
I kinda like it…
Petty_Pentagon606 5 points 10m ago
Half white mocha and half apple brown sugar. 🔥🔥I will admit it tastes different than last years with a little mediciney taste with a hint of some Christmas flavor maybe by itself but not disgusting with the white mocha.
ephemereaux 2 points 10m ago
YES I do the same thing that shit hits
clouds183 5 points 10m ago
I tried it in a cream frap and it’s good!! tastes like cinnamon oatmeal kinda with oatly oatmilk.
Nraveles11 1 points 10m ago
Use the drizzle instead of the syrup. It’ll change your life
Urmomscoochiehairs 3 points 10m ago
Taste and smells like vape juice
Have_Donut 3 points 10m ago
It is a good syrup. It is strong so don’t use too much but it is fine. In general people love to be dramatic about things someone else hasn’t experienced. Every mediocre movie that you haven’t seen is the best movie ever according to the people who have seen it, and it is the same thing going on here.

Try it yourself and see how you like it. Your coworkers are all just bandwagoning together
Krissypoop 3 points 10m ago
It’s just giving me bath and body works fall scented candle
gabbysafari 3 points 10m ago
haven’t tried it yet this year but i loved it last year! i always got it with half the amount of pumps tho since it was pretty strong
pinkraisin 3 points 10m ago
I love it! I hate the toasted vanilla
bxthanyc 2 points 10m ago
I like to put one pump into the pumpkin cream cb
acnh1222 2 points 10m ago
The other day I made a frappuccino with both chai and apple brown sugar, I didn’t finish it (I can never really finish frappuccinos) but I liked it. It tasted familiar in a way but I couldn’t describe how
killjoy0456 2 points 10m ago
i loveee it. but only in like a cream based frap. same with sugar cookie.
clarinetpjp 2 points 10m ago
I think it’s good, just not with coffee.
Midnight_Esctasy 2 points 10m ago
That would be my big fat ass! That this is yummy! Yummy apple brown sugar
MatchingColors 2 points 10m ago
Take a butter croissant, cut it half and put apple drizzle on it and toast.

Shit is good as fuck
ShannyES 2 points 10m ago
The drizzle though 🤤
TJW351 2 points 10m ago
The drizzle is nasty 🤢 but the syrup is good in small quantities. A venti iced chai w/ oatmilk and 1-2 pumps Apple Brown Sugar is great. Especially with pumpkin cold foam and cinnamon!
poulson107 2 points 10m ago
I think it's really good
rainbowstoner27 2 points 10m ago
ITS BETTER HOT!! We sampled both hot and iced today, the hot one is a hug in a cup.
tiredbarista0004 2 points 10m ago
it’s my favourite syrup! had to take it down myself the other day for partner use (mostly me haha)
DustbinFunkbndr 2 points 10m ago
I love it capped out at 2 pumps. It gets overwhelming but I really dig it
geekgurl81 2 points 10m ago
Is it the same stuff they used in last year’s macchiato? If so I was obsessed with that but we haven’t busted it out for sampling yet, though we have some.
TheGreekGazelle 2 points 10m ago
I ADORE IT ITS MY FAVORITE GOODBYE
Necessary_Low939 2 points 10m ago
The syrup is good but with shots it’s ass.
madisynsh 2 points 10m ago
personally… i really like it, but i’m an apple fan soooo … but make it into a cream frap and it’s so good 😩
oatmilk, apple syrup, cream base, ice, blend, whip, apple drizzle —- this drink is so good idc what anyone says 😻
claretamazon 2 points 10m ago
It smells like the inside of a Yankee Candle Factory. Tastes like apple cider but burns the throat if you don't drink something after.
OneCulture786 2 points 10m ago
I love that sh*t so much. Mm mmm MMMMM yummy yummy 🤤
Malachite_Migranes 2 points 10m ago
I think it tastes great isn’t a chai latte.

Plus add a little Carmel drizzle. We called it a Carmel apple chai.
catbeetle 2 points 10m ago
I love it!! I get extra extra
celestiiaal 2 points 10m ago
I loved it with chai. And iced chai with 1 pump of it is amazing
brokenleftjoycon 2 points 10m ago
The drizzle is the only good part. Great in cold foam.
nezaket 1 points 10m ago
I like it better this time around, last fall it wasn;t as good
credibleresource 1 points 10m ago
The syrup is disgusting… but the drizzle 🤩🤤!!!Especially on top of a cheese danish with whipped cream and cinnamon (or CD sprinkles). It’s like an apple pie but better
beansbooger 1 points 10m ago
okay but put it in an iced chai!!! it kinda rules
SnooSongs7317 1 points 10m ago
It smells like fig newtons
Fragrant-Pound-9675 1 points 10m ago
I’ve tried the reformulated and I think it’s so much better than last year!! Definitely not as strong as last year which was my biggest problem. It was super overpowering and was not even that good. I loved the drizzle though!
Far_Salary_5713 1 points 10m ago
The syrup reminds me of a bath and body works candle
yeahcanigetuhhhh 1 points 10m ago
tastes good in a caramel apple spice 😋
Torirock10 1 points 10m ago
idk i tried it iced and it was kinda alright. but very sickingly sweet
kaynist 1 points 10m ago
its actually really good. we made the creme frap last night and all loved it, havent had it with espresso but my coworker was absolutely in love with it last night
Nraveles11 1 points 10m ago
The drizzle >>>>>>>

Don’t even get me STARTED on adding the drizzle to the foam 😩
mama_bibi 1 points 10m ago
A lot of us in my area including customers love it. It's really really reallt good in foam or in a chai
Wintervsgaming 1 points 10m ago
I only like it in chai I do 4 pumps of chai and 2 pumps of apple brown sugar syrup (I can’t do vanilla sweet cream cold foam and I only do this when I’m working) but I do half oat milk half HWC in the cold foam pitcher (for some weird reason that doesn’t upset my tummy)with a tiny dap of the apple brown sugar topping drizzle stuff
ItsAWildFelix 1 points 10m ago
We have a lady who comes in every time and is like “do you guys have the apple frappe back????? why not???”
she’s so rude and always looks at the drink, tell us it’s made wrong until she accumulates four and leaves
CITCourtney 1 points 10m ago
The iced macchiato is immaculate and i love love love it so much
impasse602 1 points 10m ago
Maybe im the only one but i fucking love it!
lobsterparty47 [OP] 1 points 10m ago
haha i didnt expect this to blow up!! im glad to see people do actually like it. :)
Old_Specific_1233 1 points 10m ago
i still have my one from last year and tried the one this year and they're drastically different
Cabinet-Money 1 points 10m ago
Personally, since they reformulated it, it's sooooo good and so much better than last year
Gobbikins 1 points 10m ago
I like the drizzle, not the syrup!
witcheselementality 1 points 10m ago
The new recipe is good. With blonde shots and oatmilk? It's definitely a fall drink. Very autumn. I wouldn't get it everyday, but it's good once in a while
official_koda_ 1 points 10m ago
The syrup is decent in chai, only like one or two pumps though. And I would put a bit of the drizzle on a cheese danish.
Delicious-Image-9882 1 points 10m ago
a venti iced chai with 3 pumps apple brown sugar, oatmilk, and the drizzle is my fall drink. i’m not a pumpkin fan so that’s what i get before my shift.
jams1015 1 points 10m ago
A lot of our drink syrups moonlight as Yankee candles. This is one of them, lol. The drizzle is good, though! I love it on a cheese danish.
AdAdventurous8476 1 points 10m ago
my entire store LOVES the apple brown sugar
batman_thedead 1 points 10m ago
I FUCKING LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
Michael_armond 1 points 10m ago
Haven’t tried it in a drink yet. But we used it in VSCF and it was delicious
ephemereaux 1 points 10m ago
One of my go-to ABS drinks:

Shaken espresso w half standard ABS, half standard WM, oat milk, caramel & cinnamon dolce sugar on top
