So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one!
So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller.
They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool!
And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different.
And Gloria Jeans is an underrated coffee brand as well. I don't know too many places that have them, I think they're mostly on the east coast and in malls. Some really good flavors they have besides the pistachio is the White Chocolate Caramel Cookie... which I don't think is available at all locations... or maybe some people don't know how to make it. There is also a Vanilla Caramel... it is not the same thing .The White Chocolate is 1,000 times better and... yeah. Two different things. The Mocha Coconut is another really good one, if you like coconut... this is really coconutty and delicious. One of my favorites.
They also used to make my favorite gingerbread drink with their gingerbread chiller... I don't think they have it around the holidays anymore... but it was soooo good! They're pumpkin spice has improved a lot I believe and the Red Velvet is also pretty tasty. Not gonna lie. Its a good place for a frozen beverage.
So yeah. Definitely better than Cool Ranch Doritos... I think I like it more than the batch of the new Frap Flavors I've tried so far... It is as sophisticated a flavor as the Lemon Bar. I'd put it on par with that... I just appreciate the pistachio more than the lemon.
Plus its green, so you can pretend its a really healthy green drink when its a pistachio milkshake basically! Score!
Byeeee!
