• ★★★★½ Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino Matcha Cream Frappucino w Espresso Visited Jul 4, 2023

  Tried The Caramel Ribbon Crunch & Matcha Cream Frappucino's

  I've stopped at this location 3 times now. Service has been fast every time. This location even had items the app said they were out. Sometimes the line is pretty long, I decided to not stop once, due to the line.
  
  On this visit I stopped in to try another of the new frozen flavors, the caramel ribbon crunch. I recently tried the matcha green tea here (with an added espresso shot), also shown in the photos.
  
  The caramel ribbon crunch was pretty good. Its definitely a super sweet drink. This is the description from the app. Buttery caramel syrup blended with coffee, milk and ice, then topped with a layer of dark caramel sauce, whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a crunchy caramel-sugar topping.
  
  The grande in the picture is about 470 calories. Im not a coffee drinker at all, but theres so much sugar in this drink, it could barely be considered coffee, and the coffee flavor is masked pretty well by all the other stuff. Its a frappuccino, so its almost like eating a caramel ice cream shake.
  
  The Matcha Cream Frappucino I modified. I asked for a shot of espresso to be added. The app has this as the description. A blend of our matcha green tea, classic syrup, milk and ice—topped off with sweetened whipped cream. Now this one not coffee at all, but I added an affogato shot. The matcha flavor was a bit less flavorful than I expected. But the drink was decent. But no where near what real matcha ice cream tastes like.
  
  I've had pretty good experiences with everything ordered from this location. Service is consistently fast, drinks taste good, orders are accurate even when I modify them with all sorts of extra stuff. I basically come here for coffee disguised as desserts.
