The Caramel Brûlée Latte is always one of those drinks that people romanticize during the holidays — buttery, cozy, soft, and nostalgic — but every year you never quite know if Starbucks will lean too sweet, too flat, or too burnt. This year’s version sits firmly in the “sweet, light, and approachable” category, and depending…
Sugar cookie drinks are always tricky because they can easily go wrong — too sweet, too artificial, too buttery, too bland, or too disconnected from what a sugar cookie actually tastes like. The Sugar Cookie Cream Cold Brew is the strongest coffee-forward choice out of Starbucks’ holiday lineup, but it also doesn’t fully commit to…
The Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade is one of Starbucks’ most unusual seasonal releases — and “unusual” can either mean “surprisingly good” or “confusing,” depending on your expectations. This one sits right between those two worlds: it’s interesting, different, and refreshing… but also a little off-balance. From the first sip, you get a sharp mix of sweet…
The Sugar Cookie Matcha Latte is one of the most unexpectedly comforting drinks Starbucks has ever put out. Holiday matcha can easily be a disaster — too grassy, too sweet, too artificial, too clashing in flavor — but this one leans entirely into the “treat” category, and honestly, it works better than it has any…
The Peppermint Mocha is one of those rare Starbucks holiday drinks that has somehow survived every recipe trend, menu shift, and rebranding era — and there’s a reason: it works. Even if you’re not a mocha person (and you’re definitely not), this one breaks the pattern completely. Right from the first sip, the drink hits…
This week’s Crumbl lineup felt like a well-balanced mix of rich flavours, comforting favourites, and a few big hits — plus a couple you’d only really love if you like that specific flavour profile. Cookies & Cream Cheesecake opened the week with a solid, crowd-pleasing combination: a thick, chocolatey cookie paired with a creamy topping….
This one had me excited because Crumbl usually does really well with anything “cookies and cream,” but I didn’t want it to turn into just another chocolate-leaning cookie with a tiny swirl on top. And honestly? This one does lean chocolate first, but in a way that still feels soft, creamy, and balanced enough that…
This one had me curious because Crumbl has been wildly hit-or-miss with their Biscoff lineup. Sometimes they nail that warm, spiced cookie-butter flavour, and other times… the balance goes weird and it becomes either too sweet or too heavy. The Lava Cookie falls right in the middle. The cookie itself is soft, dense, and very…
This is one of those cookies where you pretty much know what you’re walking into… but somehow it still catches you a little off guard in a good way. Chocolate cake batter can go one of two ways: either it becomes aggressively sweet and artificial, or it leans into that deeper cocoa flavour with the…
This cookie screams “fall bakery” the moment you see it. Two thick cookies with a generous swirl of maple cream sandwiched between them — it looks cozy, sweet, and like something you’d get from a Canadian café in mid-October. And honestly? The flavour matches the vibe really well. On first bite, the maple hits immediately…
