You know it is that time of year again when Starbucks changes its white cups to red! There was a time when I used to get ridiculously excited about this as it meant one thing: The Gingerbread Latte was back! Firstly I am a massive fan of coffee, secondly I love gingerbread!! Imagine my delight when several years ago I went into my local Starbucks, looked up at the options board and saw that they had this on offer!! Every year since I look forward to when Starbucks bring back this wonderful beverage! In fact one year my friend gave me a fantastic Christmas present of two bottles of gingerbread syrup! Of course it wasn't quite the same as I don't make Lattes at ...  Read the complete review

I'm not really much of a coffee person, I'd prefer a cup of tea any day! I generally find coffee too bitter for my tastes, so when I do drink coffee I prefer flavoured ones. Without a doubt my favourite ever coffee is gingerbread latte and no other gingerbread latte I've tried has ever compared to the Starbucks version. The gingerbread latte is from the Starbucks Christmas range. They have just hit the shops and I headed out to have my first one of the year this afternoon! Typically when I buy these I sit in and they come in a white mug, however they tend to be served in red Christmas cups if you want to take them out. Today the guy behind the ...  Read the complete review

As you may have seen from a previous review I did Starbucks has gone all Christmassy again and brought out some "new" flavours for us to try. Normally I go into Starbucks and order one of two choices, I do vary this occasionally hence why I thought I would give the Christmas choices a go. Currently they are doing Toffee Nut Latte (previously reviewed), Gingerbread Latte (this is what I will be reviewing) and a Dark Cherry Mocha (don't like cherries so don't think I'll be trying this one) and an Eggnog Latte (still debating this one). Starbucks do say that these have returned due to customer demand from last year but they are only around for a ...  Read the complete review

I always know Christmas is close when Starbucks start to do their red cups and their speciality coffees. My favourite of their Christmas coffees has to be their Gingerbread Latte which just smell and taste like Christmas to me and I always make sure to pop in and get one to takeaway when I am in town. The Gingerbread Lattes are only available in the run up to Christmas at least I have never seen them at any other time of the year and they are the perfect accompaniment to a cold day shopping for Christmas presents. Like the rest of the lattes in Starbucks these come in small, medium or large (or tall, grande and venti as Starbucks calls them. You ...  Read the complete review

Nothing gets me more in the Christmas mood than Starbucks Christmas coffees. For me, there is nothing better. I'm not a huge fan of coffee, but this seems to change every year around the beginning of December! I'm quite aware that gingerbread lattes are available in most coffee shops throughout the year (a simple latte with a shot of gingerbread latte!), but it just seems so much more appropriate to indulge when it's Starbucks and when it's Christmas. As with all other standard coffees from Starbucks, you can tailor the gingerbread latte to suit your needs. For example, you can request it with or without milk (whether it be soya or not), you can ...  Read the complete review
