MY FAVORITE STARBUCKS DRINK

With my mom at Starbucks in Barcelona

Starbucks. A couple of years ago it was quite a bit of an attraction. The first stores had opened their doors in the Netherlands and going there was an actual thing. I mean, everyone wanted to go there. Walking around with a Starbucks cup was the coolest thing to do. It became a fashion accessory. To me it's still a great place to go to treat myself to one of their hot or cold drinks. Sometimes my girls and I meet there in between lectures. And one time, I had missed my train by a few seconds. I decided I could use one of my favorite drinks while waiting for the next train. In New York I found out the stores were relatively small in my home country and there was a lot more to choose from but I still stayed loyal to my favorite drink!

I almost always go for the same drink: the Caramel Macchiato with extra caramel. Very summery drink. I know haha, but it's just too good to pick something else. Did you know that Macchiato is an Italian word meaning “marked.” So a latte macchiato is steamed milk marked with a little espresso! The combination with sweet caramel just makes me wanna drink it all day, all year 'round.
