Is Starbucks Cold Foam Really Worth it?

Okay, so I like to think of myself as a granola mom, but I’m kind of 80/20. I’m all for organic, natural, non-GMO e v e r y t h i n g , but every once in a while I like to sprinkle in a little f*ck it, I need Starbucks. If this sounds familiar, you’ve likely seen my recent reel on Instagram, telling everyone to go get free cold foam from Starbucks during one of their recent promos . The only problem? I embarrassingly auto-posted it to the wrong date and completely forgot about it. At least I didn’t forget to go to Starbucks all together, because that would obviously be deplorable.

In all seriousness though, if you’re a Starbucks lover and you watched that reel, I apologize and hope you have it in your heart to forgive me. I’m a little late to the game (not surprising).

As I take this time to do some major self reflecting, only one question remains... Is Starbucks cold foam really worth the extra $1.25 on a “regular” day?

Fast forward to taking the above question to my IG polls and waiting for the votes to fill my guilt ridden cup. Over a period of 24 hours and a grande total 24 responses (not counting the extras in the comments), 83% voted worth it and 17% voted NOT worth it. I feel like at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter though, because I already had it in my head that it is 100% worth it (for me). I just like to see where other people’s heads are at. Speaking of, some people are probably reading this and shaking their heads faster than an iced shaken espresso in the making. I mean, surely I could I make my own cold foam at home with better ingredients and for a fraction of the cost (in fact I do quite often). However, I don’t frequent Starbucks as much as I used to, so when I do find myself there, I’ll happily pay extra on top of my already $7 iced coffee, as I attempt to convince myself I’m saving money, because for every dollar spent, a virtual star is gained, which means that much closer to a “free” drink. If you know, you know, and if you don’t, you just need to do some simple Starbucks “girl” math. Besides all of that, it’s called a treat for a reason, and based on the taste and consistency, alone, I’d say it’s absolutely worth it. Think a soft, smooth little coffee cloud. You have to try it for yourself though to see if you agree.

Note, this post is not sponsored or endorsed by Starbucks in any way, shape, or form. Just my honest two cents (plus $8 worth of coffee and cold foam).
