I've come to realise that I love trying limited edition, seasonal drinks. After trying a festive spice latte from Costa yesterday, I realised that this strange passion could actually become a talking point for my site
Amazing, 5/5 drink. I remember feeling the beginning of a sore throat and then drinking this anyway just because it was so good.
The strawberry cream part of this was really good. The matcha part, not so much, although I'm not the best match for matcha (see what I did there?). Overall, 3/5 (although keep in mind my bias against matcha).
Pretty decent. It's similar to the PSL for me, I'd give it a solid 3/5.
4.5/5. This is so good that it overcame my mixed feelings towards matcha.
This a general statement rather than for a specific drink. I want to like matcha lattes so much, but it never works out for me... Special shoutout to Pret's Rice milk Matcha, trule one of the few 0.5/5 ratings from me. Why would you get rid of milk as a menu option and keep this disgrace?
I quite literally had this yesterday and I don't remember anything about it. 2/5 for lack of memorability.
It's a no from me. Something about this drink makes me stomach feel like Vesuvius a few weeks before the eruption. It doesn't really taste as good as the PSL either from Black Sheep, so a 2/5.
I realised that I've tried so many different pumpkin spice lattes that I need a separate page for them.
Overall, a half-decent choice. Pret isn't my first choice for coffee anymore, although I used to drink this religiously before I branched out to different brands. I think it's a solid 3/5 stars. If you're wondering why I ranked it kind of high, wait til you find out my reasons for downgrading the other ones.
2/5 stars. They've overdone it with the 'spice' part, because this just tastes like curry to me (specifically korma). For a brand that is arguably well-known for their pumpkin spice latte, this was disappointing.
4/5 stars. This was really good, it's just that I docked a point since (in my opinion) iced drinks and autumn/winter should never mix.
1/5 stars. Same issue as Starbucks except so much more savoury, somehow.
4.5/5 stars. This is just a joy to drink.
4/5 stars. While I wouldn't say this is better than the Blank Street PSL, this one tastes unique compared to other pumpkin spice lattes. It tastes very autumnal, and I can get behind that.
