I too love the gingerbread latte, but actually like the Cinnamon Dolce and Toffee Nut better.

And honestly, the eggnog tastes almost like the gingerbread, only it’s slightly richer.

OK! I am sitting here drinking a SF Gingerbread Latte because after I read this post, I promptly left work and went to Starbucks (naturally)! I think it tastes like cough syrup. Oh well!

Oooops, I clicked on “submit” too fast!

I just wanted to add even though I couldn’t care less about the gingerbread latte, I feel you on the “I want to make out with you” statement. I think I’ve used that once in a while, especially in my local Starbucks… :o)

I am a Starbucks addict, but since I hate cinnamon, almost all typical Christmas treats don’t do anything for me; I couldn’t care less about the gingerbread latte.

I dunno about egg nog lattes, but every year around this time I trade in my usual whole milk thang and use egg nog in my regular French press jolt. Mmm. Every once in a while I’ll swing by Starbucks and get a fix, but it’s never the Fancy Swishy Drinks. Oh, and I absolutely refuse to refer to anything by faux Italian names–they may hate me, but I insist on ordering a SMALL coffee or a LARGE tea. With a dose of peppermint syrup. And word to whoever said sugar-free stuff tastes like ass. YMMV, of course, but why use a “skeery” chemical when the real thing tastes so damn good? :)

If they ever came out with a sugar-free mocha, I’d happily f*ck the barista blind.

Just sayin’

I’m not a fan of the warm drinks at Starbucks, BUT adore their frappes and the rest of the cold stuff.

And if they in turn, come up with a sugar free version of the Gingerbread Frappuccino, I too, will use the line, “Oh my god, I want to make out with you right now.” Mmmmmmmmness.

I’m not a Starbucks fan, I prefer Second Cup (it’s a Canadian chain, so most of you probably don’t know it). They have a candy cane latte that I look forward to all year… wonder if it’s out yet.

Starbucks is my crack, mostly because I work retail in a store that has one inside.

I had a gingerbread latte yesterday because it was the sample and when I tried it it was so good.

egg nog latte??!!! that sounds intriguing!

I have only recently discovered Starbucks. And it’s a good thing that they are so damn expensive or else I’d be getting Caramel Frappuucinos every day.
