It was my sister Shannon‘s birthday and Shannnn, Jamie and I went down to the beaches for brunch. We wanted to walk along the boardwalk with a cold drink. They opted for “Teapop” at David’s Tea (combination of Perrier and peach tea if I remember correctly) which is the very healthy and surprisingly refreshing choice. I had gone off on my own to Starbucks to try to get a cold decaf coffee drink.
As you know I have been investigating the large coffee shops to see if they have cold coffee drinks that do not contain caffeine. I have gotten frappés there before but could not be 100% sure I always asked for decaf so this time I did. On record.
Was Starbucks my foodie hero or a total zero? Hero. A total hero. Not only did they say I could get their latest crazy mocha frappé in decaf they said they could basically make me anything I wanted and even join my sisters in decaf tea if I get sick of coffee. Which probably will never happen. I ended up with a decaf iced latte. Healthier than a frappé but not as healthy as a teapop, LOL.
I am not always a huge fan of Starbucks. I often do not like their popular limited time frappuccinos (although I always credit their imagination) and I am not always 100% about their products in general but when it comes to giving me freedom of choice, they get five out of five wooden spoons.
Bravo!

It’s always a treat! I usually make my own iced coffees, nice to get out and have someone make it for me for a change.

Happy Birthday to your sister! Glad your drink worked out and also, I LOVE PEACH in my tea. I make it at home, so good!
Suzie the Foodie says
It’s true, peach and tea go so great together!
