Chicago｜Recent Seasonal Drinks & Treats ☕️

❶ Starbucks Reserve Roastery The seasonal items here are seriously gorgeous this time — and I’m totally here for the Ube love! 💜😍😍😍 🥥 Iced Ube Coconut Latte 🌟🌟🌟✨ Smooth milk foam with ube and coconut flakes that blend well — doesn’t overpower the espresso. If you want a bold ube flavor, you might be let down, but it’s not artificially sweet or overly sugary. 🦋 Citrus Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Tasting Journey 🌟🌟 Looks > taste — beautiful to look at, but basically tastes like lemonade. 😊 🥯 Fig Walnut Ricotta Toast 🌟🌟🌟✨ Dried figs on the bottom, thick ricotta on top — chewy figs + cool, creamy cheese balance the sweetness. Solid but not mind-blowing. 🍵 Matcha Butterfly Swirl Cake 🌟🌟✨ Subtle matcha flavor in the sponge, firm buttercream — dense and rich overall. 🍋 Strawberry Lemon Tart 🌟🌟 Not very strawberry-forward — tastes like a classic American lemon tart, texture’s a bit sticky. 😂 🥐 Pistachio & Rose Twice-baked Cornetto 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Layers of crisp pastry with a creamy pistachio filling — rich but not too sweet. Rose flavor is faint, but still a recommend! 👍 ❷ Dollop Coffee Co. 🍫 Blackberry Mocha Latte 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Strong blackberry syrup flavor, nicely sweetened. Cocoa taste was mild (maybe they used the wrong syrup? 😅). 🫐 Blueberry Maple Latte 🌟🌟🌟 Not sure if it was made right, but tasted like a regular latte — not very sweet. 🍵 Cereal Bowl Matcha 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Laughed way too long at this name for no reason 😆) Whisked matcha with a grassy aroma, creamy and smooth. A hint of mint from the syrup made it refreshing. 👍 ❸ La Colombe Coffee Workshop 🍓 Strawberry Oatmilk Draft Latte 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The strawberry latte I’ve waited a year for is back! Silky, smooth texture beats a regular latte any day — rich strawberry flavor but not too sweet 😍 Unbelievably good! Already ordered a case online! ❤️❤️❤️ #GlobalFoodieChallenge #SpringBlooms #FoodSavesTheDay #SpringOnMyPlate #CozyCafeVibes
