September 29 marks the special occurrence of national Starbucks day for coffee lovers all around the world! From the cozy ambiance to the diverse menu, Starbucks has earned a place in the hearts of many. In honor of this day, let’s delve into some of our favorite drinks and a few insider tips and tricks to enhance your Starbucks/Benedict’s experience.
A few common drinks that most students seem to enjoy are caramel macchiatos, mango dragon fruit refreshers, matcha lattes, and cold brews.
A caramel macchiato is a classic favorite among many. It blends velvety steamed milk with rich espresso, topped with vanilla syrup, and finished off with a drizzle of caramel. It’s a perfect balance between sweetness and caffeine kick.
If coffee isn’t really your thing, our very own version of Starbucks makes the perfect matcha latte or mango dragon fruit refresher as a great alternative.
“My favorite drink to order here at Benedict’s would definitely be a matcha latte or an iced peach green tea,” said Raygan Nairn, a junior majoring in business marketing.
Moreover, there are various tips and tricks that you can use to elevate your experience at Benedicts Café. For instance, if you’re not really a coffee lover and you’re just trying it for the first time, you can adjust the caffeine level to suit your taste buds.
Similarly, if you’re someone who’s lactose intolerant, you can swap whole milk for a non-dairy milk product of your choice with your barista. If this still isn’t enough, and you’re someone who loves extras in their drink, Benedict’s offers an array of flavored syrups and sweeteners that can be added to your cup of goodness!
Whether you’re a seasoned Starbucks enthusiast or new to the world of coffee, there’s something for everyone at Benedict’s Cafe.
Cheers to National Starbucks Day!
