The Caramel Frappuccino Was My Go-To Order, But These 8 Starbucks Drinks Are Superior

Starbucks is the go-to coffee shop for many people in the US, and if you make frequent trips to Starbucks, you probably have a go-to order as well. One of the best parts about the Starbucks menu is that they have something for everyone. Whether you prefer your coffee brewed or blended, there’s something on the menu for you.

If you’re a fan of caramel and don’t mind your coffee being sweet, you’ll love the Caramel Frappuccino. However, I’ve found that these Starbucks drinks are superior to the Caramel Frappuccino. If you’re looking for a way to switch up your Starbucks order, check out these other options for you to order.

Caramel Macchiato

If you’re looking for something different to order at Starbucks, the Caramel Macchiato is one of the best alternatives to the Caramel Frappuccino. It’s still sweet but has more of a coffee flavor than the Frappuccino.

Best drink for caramel lovers

Cinnamon Dolce Latte

Warm Dirty Chai Latte with Milk and Spices

Cinnamon Dulce is sweet cinnamon and true to its name, the Cinnamon Dulce Latte is pretty sweet. If you’re a fan of sweet coffee drinks and cinnamon, you’ll love this latte hot or iced. This drink is also topped with Cinnamon Dolce sprinkles and whipped cream.

Blonde Vanilla Latte

The Blonde Vanilla Latte has the flavor of Starbucks espresso without being too bitter. The Blonde espresso roast pairs perfectly with the vanilla syrup.

Delicious but not too sweet

When I first started ordering lattes, the Starbucks Vanilla Latte was my go-to. In my opinion, the Blonde Vanilla Latte is even better than the original because the Blonde espresso has a much smoother flavor.

Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

Out of all the Starbucks Shaken Espresso drinks, the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is one of the best. The brown sugar syrup gives the espresso the right amount of sweetness.

Best for your afternoon pick-me-up

I love the Starbucks Shaken Espresso drinks on a day when I need an extra boost of caffeine. Unlike many of the other drinks, the Shaken Espresso has three shots of espresso in a grande instead of two. It’s also not as sweet as other drinks because of the oat milk.

Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino

If you still want a Frappuccino but are looking to mix it up, the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino is a good alternative to the original Caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks. It’s just as sweet but comes with a delicious topping.

The Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino feels like a fancier version of the Caramel Frappuccino. It has dark caramel syrup instead of the original caramel syrup. One of the best parts of this drink is the Caramel Crunch Topping that gets sprinkled on top.

Java Chip Frappuccino

The Java Chip Frappuccino is a great choice if you want something sweet that still tastes like coffee. This blended drink includes the Starbucks Frappuccino Chips and a mocha drizzle.

For the Frappuccino and coffee lover

Even though the Caramel Frappuccino and the Java Chip Frappuccino have the same amount of coffee, I’ve found that the Java Chip has a bolder coffee flavor. If you want a Frappuccino that still tastes like coffee, try the Java Chip Frappuccino.

White Chocolate Mocha

While the regular Mocha Latte from Starbucks has a more bitter flavor from the chocolate, the White Chocolate Mocha is much sweeter.

There’s no doubt you have a sweet tooth if the Caramel Frappuccino is your go-to order. The White Chocolate Mocha is one of the sweetest-tasting lattes. If you’re looking for a drink that’s not frozen but will still satisfy your sugar cravings, the White Chocolate Mocha may be for you.

Matcha Crème Frappuccino

Starbucks has many options for those who prefer tea to coffee. The Matcha Crème Frappuccino is a great choice if you love green tea but want something cold.

If you don’t like the taste of coffee

Even if you don’t like the taste of coffee, there’s something on the Starbucks menu for you. Many people order Frappuccinos because they don’t like coffee on its own. An alternative to the Caramel Frappuccino is the Matcha Crème Frappuccino. Since it’s sweetened, it’s not as bitter as many other Matcha drinks.
