The Iced Mocha Cherry Cold Foam – ryan

It blends beautifully with the rich-yet-not-so-sweet mocha flavor, tasting almost like a liquid chocolate-covered cherry. It’s a serious treat, but arguably, the best part is the Cherry Crunch topping. Made up of crushed cookie bits, it adds a nice crunch—almost like a streusel on a cherry pie.

As you sip, you find yourself enjoying a full range of desserts, like you’re Violet Beauregarde, minus the whole turning-into-a-blueberry bit.

After ten years covering Starbucks, I tend to cringe at the latest secret menu trend—they’re often way too much for my tastes—but I was pleasantly surprised here. So much so, that it may become my new “little treat” for those moments when I rationalize that I deserve—nay, need—one (aka every other day around 3 p.m.).
