This one is interesting because it’s trying to balance three things at once: matcha, caramel, and protein. Visually, it’s not the prettiest drink. The texture is thicker, and it doesn’t have that clean layered look most drinks have. The first sip is smoother than expected. The protein doesn’t make it chalky, which is a big…
This one feels like the most balanced out of the protein options. Visually, it looks more like a normal latte compared to the matcha version. The first sip is smooth and lightly sweet. The caramel comes through right away, but it’s not overwhelming. The coffee is still there, which helps keep it grounded. The protein…
This one is easily the most “coffee-first” drink out of this group, and it shows immediately. Visually, it’s simple. Smaller, clean, and not overloaded with toppings or extras. It doesn’t try to be flashy, which actually fits what it is. The first sip is strong. The espresso hits right away, and it’s not softened much….
This is basically the opposite of the cortado. Visually, it’s much more what you expect from a Starbucks drink — blended, creamy, usually topped, and clearly more of a treat. The first sip is smooth and sweet. The pistachio is more noticeable here than in the cortado or latte, but it’s still not super strong….
This is one of those cookies where you already know the flavour is going to carry it. Biscoff is strong, distinct, and very recognizable, so the expectation here is that it’s going to be rich, slightly spiced, and very dessert-heavy. The base of the cookie is thick and soft, leaning slightly toward that skillet-style texture…
This one is built around a flavour combination that’s hard to mess up — chocolate, graham, and marshmallow. The real test is whether it actually captures that campfire feel or just ends up being another chocolate cookie. The base leans into that graham-style cookie, giving it a slightly different flavour from the usual sugar or…
This one leans into that dessert-style category again, but with a lighter, fruit-forward element compared to the heavier chocolate-based cookies. The key here is how well the raspberry balances the richness of the cheesecake. The base follows that familiar graham-style cookie, soft with a slight structure. It doesn’t stand out on its own, but it…
This one is very clearly built around that classic chocolate and peanut butter combination. If you know buckeyes, you already know what you’re getting — rich chocolate with a strong peanut butter presence. The base is that familiar brownie-style cookie again. It’s soft, dense, and fudgy, leaning much closer to a brownie than a traditional…
This week has a really nice mix of rich, indulgent cookies and more balanced, lighter options, which makes it feel complete without being overwhelming. The Biscoff Skillet Cookie and Buckeye Brownie Cookie are easily the heaviest of the group. Both are very flavour-forward — one leaning into that warm spiced Biscoff profile, the other fully…
