S'mores Frappuccino Returns After Six Years!

Starbucks is reintroducing its popular S'mores Frappuccino, a fan-favorite that has been absent from menus for six years. The blended beverage will be available nationwide starting July 1, with Starbucks Rewards members gaining early access on June 30 via the Starbucks app. This return is accompanied by two new s'mores-inspired creations: a S'mores Cold Brew topped with marshmallow-flavored cold foam and an Iced S'mores Chai. The news has generated excitement among customers, with social media buzzing about the drink's comeback. However, Starbucks baristas have expressed apprehension regarding the new additions. Concerns have been raised on platforms like Reddit and Instagram about the added labor for new recipes, such as the marshmallow-infused whipped cream, and the potential strain on store operations, especially during peak hours. The extensive menu of 170,000 drink combinations at Starbucks already presents challenges, and these new, intricate options may further complicate workflow and drive-thru times. Customers are encouraged to be patient and consider tipping their baristas.
