Starbucks Review: Pistachio Cream Cold Brew
This one takes the pistachio flavour and actually gives it more room to show up compared to the latte.
Visually, it’s more interesting — dark cold brew base with a lighter pistachio cream on top.
The first sip gives you that contrast right away. You get the strong, slightly bitter cold brew first, then the pistachio cream smooths it out.
The pistachio is more noticeable here than in the latte. It comes through in the cream layer, adding both flavour and a bit of richness.
The balance is what makes this drink work. The cold brew keeps it from being too sweet, while the cream adds just enough to make it enjoyable.
Texture-wise, you get a mix — lighter coffee base and thicker, smoother cream on top.
It feels more refreshing than the latte but still has that dessert-like element from the cream.
This is probably the best version of pistachio in this lineup.
Final Verdict:
A well-balanced cold brew with a stronger pistachio presence. Smooth, slightly sweet, and refreshing.
