Yes. You heard us right, Starbucks will be FINALLY introducing almond milk to their stores! We've been waiting for this for years now, but accepted it would never happen because of

the risk of harming someone with a nut allergy. 

“We created our own almond milk recipe to complement our hot, iced and Frappuccino blended beverages,” said Yoke Wong, manager on Starbucks beverage

R&D team. “It was designed so that when steamed, it creates a rich foam for hot beverages and is delicious and creamy when served in cold beverages.” 

Can you imagine

the delicious nuttiness it adds to a latte? Mmmmm, we can't wait to try it!

Do you find yourself using Splenda a lot because you don't want to load up on the calories, or uh... the sugar? We totally understand. However, it's widely known Splenda has

the controversial ingredient aspartame in it, causing a lot of people to become hesitant. Well, no need to worry about that anymore, because Starbucks will be offering Stevia!

“This is Starbucks

first Stevia-based zero-calorie sweetener,” said Nick DeJulio, Starbucks brand manager. “Whole Earth Sweetener Company’s sweetener will help us address the needs of customers looking to cut back on calories without compromising

on taste.”

This is going to make "extra-sweet" so much easier. 

In addition to the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Salted Caramel Mocha coming back, we've got a new fall favorite that just arrived to Starbucks and it's called the Chile Mocha. 

According to the official Starbucks website, "The beverage is made with espresso and steamed milk infused with a cocoa and cinnamon powder, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and

finished with a sprinkle of Chile Mocha topping, consisting of ancho and cayenne chile pepper, cinnamon, paprika, sugar and a touch of sea salt." Sounds pretty damn decadent, don't mind if we

do.

Of course, we can't forget about the food. Say hello to their new dark chocolate and caramelized banana oatmeal, caramelized apple pound cake and pumpkin cheesecake bar. Returning will

be the pumpkin cream cheese muffin, pumpkin scone and the pumpkin iced sugar cookie.

Are they overdoing it on the pumpkin? Not if you're as obsessed with pumpkin as we are!

This may not be directly affecting us customers on the other side, but it's definitely changing the vibe at your local Starbucks.

Starbucks is changing their dress code

for employees offering more personal expression. Instead of wearing black on black, they're now allowed to wear a wider range of colors and designs as long as they comply with

food safety guidelines. Happier barista = happier customer = happier world, right?
