Starbucks Veranda Blend Blonde Roast Coffee Review


[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey, welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your place for average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is a blonde roast, but that’s not where you make fun of blonde people.

– So today we are reviewing this Starbucks Veranda blend.

– Hummingbird.

– What?

– There’s a hummingbird on there.

– Oh, yeah, it’s pretty isn’t it?

– Yep.

– I had just, I didn’t notice that until you said that. Well, anyway, it’s a blonde roast.

– Mm-hmm.

– Mellow and soft. So blonde is, you know, like, the lighter roast.

– Right.

– Technically, that has kind of like more caffeine, but not really.

– Hmm.

– It’s kind of a thing, people think that there’s more caffeine, but, really, it’s the amount of coffee.

– So it’s a lie.

– Right, well, kind of. You can Google it.

– It’s just more concentrated coffee?

– Well, right, the density of the actual coffee.

– You are my density.

– Yeah, so, anyway, if you’re really interested, you can Google it, but there’s like, an explanation. So basically, it’s kind of all the same.

– Yeah.

– But, the question is, do we like it? Should we talk about price while I make the coffee?

– We will. We paid seven dollars for the 12-ounce bag. It’s a pretty good sale. At Publix, I think it’s $10 per bag.

– Pricey.

– Yeah. But we don’t pay full price. Not that we have a special discount.

– No.

– We just buy the stuff that’s on sale.

– Right, yeah.

– Although we should talk to Publix.

– No, I don’t think after that review of their house blend or whatever, they would ever cut a deal with us.

– Yeah, and their dark blend, dark roast.

– Yeah, anyway. So what do we think about this blend? So, to me, it is very smooth. Very mellow, Starbucks sometimes can have like a, I don’t know if I’d call it, maybe like a bitterness, or something, you know, but this is very smooth. I really like it.

– Yeah, this is different than the other Starbucks ones that we’ve had, I think. Well, obviously, it’s a blonde roast.

– Right.

– Bud dum, chh!

– Yeah, when I was at Starbucks the other day, I went, I had a gift card.

– Oh, okay.

– The guy was actually really really nice, and, he recommended that I try, they do a blonde Cafe Breve now. Like, that’s what I always get, or a breve latte, is maybe how you’ll have to order it.

– It’s too confusing.

– Usually if you say Cafe Breve, they’ll know. But, sometimes.

– And if you don’t know the answer to one of their questions, they’ll look down their knitted wool hat at you.

– But, the point is, the guy was very nice, and he said that the blonde espresso has like a really smooth flavor. And I see what he’s talking about. This is really smooth.

– Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think I taste a little bit of a caramel-y, little bit. Like, it’s like almost there.

– Yeah, I feel like this would be a crowd pleasing kind of cup, you know. Like if you served it to a group of people, they’d be like, yeah. It’s a good cup of coffee, it’s very smooth.

– Especially if you introduce it a certain way. Oh, this is Starbucks Veranda blonde roast. Then people will think they have to like it.

– Right.

– If they say they don’t like it, then, they obviously don’t like coffee.

– Right, maybe, I don’t know.

– We know some people like that.

– No we don’t.

– I’m just kidding, she’s not like that.

– I’m not like that. Not a snob.

– I know. But, overall, I think we would buy it again.

– Yeah, I would say, like, three donuts. Because it is so expensive.

– The price is high.

– Yeah, so, but it is good.

– The price is too high. I think we all know what that’s from. Talking about Rent.

– Okay.

– That guy.

– Okay.

– Hashtag, know your meme.

– This is devolving into not a coffee review.

– I’m sure, if you’re watching this, you’ve had Starbucks coffee before. Some roast at some place or something. Did you love it, did you hate it? Have you had a blonde roast, because it’s our first time having a blond roast. Let us know in the comments below. And, thank you for joining us. Until next time.
