The classic affogato combines a large scoop of rich vanilla ice cream swimming over two shots of Starbucks Reserve espresso.
You can opt for something a little bit sweeter with their house affogato which adds a drizzle of golden demerara syrup dusted with cinnamon powder.
Of course, Starbucks Reserve also has drinks you can sip on for longer periods of time. You can never go wrong with their simple cold brew float — cold brew and vanilla ice cream in one.
The cold brew malt is quite different from our usual, local Starbucks drinks. It is a mix of cold brew and vanilla ice cream, blended to form a thick malted milkshake.
If you’re feeling playful and adventurous, we highly recommend the Nitro cold brew float.
All drinks are available for dine-in at select Starbucks Reserve stores.
