I always try and support independent coffee shops whenever I can but they aren’t always there when you need a caffeine buzz or don’t always provide milk alternatives. Working at Starbucks UK I’m able to view every ingredient list and nutritional guide there is, enabling me to provide you all with a menu of items you can have when you next visit! Not only that but I will give you my personal recommendations and updates on new products. I have also experimented with a lot of drinks, creating new ones that actually taste better than some of their own.. I call this Sophia’s Secret Starbucks menu or SSSM for short. Ssssssmmmmmm cofffeeeeee.

Stay clear of:

Caramel drizzle

Chai tea latte (chai concentrate contains honey)

Pumpkin spice

Eggnog

Signature hot chocolate

Whipped cream

Sprinkles/toppings

So for the drinks menu:

Sophia’s Secret menu:

Vegan Chai tea latte: 2 chai tea bags + 4 shots vanilla + hot soya milk no water + cinnamon and nutmeg sprinkles

Americano misto: Americano half way + hot dry soya

After eight hot chocolate: Classic hot chocolate + soya + peppermint syrup

Cinnamon roll latte: Hot soya + cinnamon syrup + vanilla

Marzipan latte: Soya latte + almond syrup + vanilla

Summer berry blend: Iced hibiscus tea bag + passion tea + 1 vanilla syrup

Banoffee pie frappuccino: Banana + coffee base + soy + caramel syrup + ice + blended

I really recommend trying the SSSM chai tea latte or if you’re not a fan of loads of milk (like me) I tend to have a venti + 2 chai tea bags + 3/4 hot water + hot soy + 4 sf vanilla. Adding syrups to the coffees is great as gives it a nice sweet kick if you’re having any cake cravings!

You can have your coffee just how you like it, just ask:

Dry- foamy

Wet- no foam

Extra hot

Warm – kids temp

Decaf

Origin expresso – premium roast coffee (extra 20p)

And by the way, baristas will love you if you ask in this order:

Size of cup Drink Extra shots Decaf or origin Syrups Type of milk With or without cream Custom Name

And always top up your rewards card BEFORE you order. Makes our lives easier 🙂 or order from the app!

I hope all you fellow coffee addicts find this information useful. (A mobile/tablet friendly version has been beautifully created below in comments.) Enjoy those caffeine vibes!
