On an early visit to Target, this was a welcomed sight. Yes, the in-store Starbucks is once again brewing albeit with a stanchion-ed maze. There were even these new post-COVID19 cups.

Rona Pokka
Who is Mr. Pokka Coffee, and why is his name Pokka? This milk coffee gold has been a nice complement to my usual Royal Mills/Ito-en Iced Cappuccino. Not as sweet and heavy but still a nice flavor.
Rona Stars from Starbucks
Starbucks is reopening during this Rona times in a star-filled way. Every mobile order made from now to the end of the month will be rewarded with an extra 25 Bonus Stars.
Rona Treat
Saw this sign while driving by and had to make a stop for a treat from pre-COVID times.
Rona Shortage
Wait, this is my last can? Might have to visit Costco sooner rather than later. And on a related note, how can Target not have any coffee creamer? Not one single bottle of any size or flavor in the refrigerated section. Even the workers confirmed this Rona shortage.
Rona Review: Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew Dark Caramel
Just to take a step away from telework, here’s a short and fast ‘Rona Review of the new Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew Dark Caramel that comes in a can. Looking like a typical 12 fl oz can, the contents is only 9.6 fl oz so the can is light and you can tell there’s space […]
Do You See What’s Happening Here?
Okay, my picture is a little too late, but do you see what’s happening here at Starbucks? I’ll give you a clue. That cup was about half full a few seconds before the picture was taken. Still stumped? Here’s another clue. And here are better pictures of this all-too-real myth.
I Take That Back…
Okay, okay, I take that back. I really didn’t fib. I was just delayed with the truth. A busy Friday prepping for a weekend at Bellows called for a caffeine boost, and looking to the skies, I was inspired to get another Cloud Macchiato. This time iced. I must say the presentation of the iced […]
I Fibbed
I’m sorry, but I lied. Instead of sampling Starbucks’ new iced Cloud Macchiato, I opted for a hot version instead. Seattle-esque weather just called for this changeup. The drink was okay but nothing memorable. But then again, since I was on the road, I didn’t take a sip for about 10 minutes.
My Next Drink, Starbucks Iced Caramel Cloud Macchiato
With or without the partnership with singer Ariana Grande, I’m gonna try out Starbucks latest concoction, the Iced Caramel Cloud Macchiato. At the very least, the drink does look interesting with the cloud-like foam hovering over and infusing with the espresso below. Comes hot or cold and in caramel or cinnamon. Up first for me […]
Starbucks Haupia Nitro, a Hawaii Exclusive
The Starbucks Reserve Roastery location in the Waikiki Trade Center is the only place in all of America where you can order a Haupia Nitro. Yup, that’s a nitro cold brew infused with a coconut blended mixture. The walls of the special Reserve cup are lined with condensed milk (I think), and the finished drink […]
Loving the Starbucks Nitro Freddo
My latest Starbucks obsession is the Nitro Freddo. This drink starts with nitro cold brew on tap. Then it’s topped off with a dark caramel foam and a sprinkle of what looks like Starbucks instant VIA coffee. Alone, the Nitro Cold Brew is a potent drink – highly caffeinated and all coffee flavor. The Freddo […]
