Starbucks Introduces Ice Cream Coffee Treats Because Apparently, We Need to Spend More There
Starbucks is at it again, bringing together two beloved treats: ice cream and coffee. For parents navigating early mornings and long days, caffeine is often our trusty sidekick. With sleep sometimes feeling like a distant memory, we turn to our favorite brews to power through. And for those of us with a penchant for both coffee and sweets, Starbucks might just have the perfect solution.
Yes, you heard it right! Starbucks is now serving ice cream alongside their coffee, and fans couldn’t be more excited. According to reports from Business Insider, the new ice cream offerings will debut on the Starbucks Roastery Affogato menu, combining the deliciousness of ice cream with the richness of espresso. These Italian-inspired treats involve pouring a shot of espresso over a scoop of ice cream, and they’re set to hit locations in Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington, DC, before making their way to other cities. The Affogato menu had already been a hit during testing at their Seattle Roastery, landing in the top five items.
Between the sugar rush and caffeine kick, I can already picture myself tackling my Saturday to-do list by 8:49 AM and then curling up with a good book—if only I didn’t have three kids! The new treats will range from the Classic Affogato priced at $6 to the $8.50 Cold Brew Malt, which includes small-batch cold brew, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate bitters. Sure, they’re a bit on the pricier side, but it’s coffee with ice cream! Besides, it beats the outrageous $47.30 “Quadriginoctuple Frap” order that one customer in Washington state made—a 48-shot mocha Frappuccino mixed with everything on the menu. We can only imagine that guy had quite the productive day before his stomach had to call it quits.
For those mindful of their budget, Starbucks is testing more affordable options at 100 locations in California. The coffee giant has consistently boosted sales by introducing higher-priced items, like bistro boxes and breakfast sandwiches, and this trend is set to continue with the Roastery Affogato menu. But with ice cream involved, we might just be willing to hand over our wallets anyway.
