- Starbucks’ spring menu launches March 3 with new lavender, coconut, and ube drinks.
- The Iced Ube Coconut Cream Macchiato stands out for its bold purple color, nutty-vanilla flavor, and toasted coconut crunch.
- The Iced Lavender Cream Chai provides a refreshing floral option, and the Lavender Matcha Latte makes a welcome return.
As winter winds down, nothing shakes off the chill quite like a fresh lineup of colorful spring drinks. Set to debut on March 3, Starbucks’ new menu features reimagined favorites, including an innovative Chai, the Iced Lavender Cream Chai, the Iced Ube Coconut Cream Macchiato, the Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew, and the Toasted Coconut Latte.
Caffeine was consumed responsibly. (Mostly.)
With floral notes, creamy foam, and eye-catching hues, the drinks look appealing and taste delightful. While all offerings are impressive, one drink truly captured my attention.
Let’s dive in!

<p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="7" class="css-6wxqfj emevuu60">Starbucks has revamped its classic Chai for spring. The new version offers reduced sugar (with only a hint of honey), and patrons can adjust sweetness by choosing their syrup. This means you can fine-tune your drink to strike the perfect balance of spice and sweetness.</p>
<p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="8" class="css-6wxqfj emevuu60">I sampled it in three variations:</p>
<ul data-node-id="9" class="css-kw9lqy emevuu60">
<li data-node-id="9.0">Unsweetened</li>
<li data-node-id="9.1">With classic syrup</li>
<li data-node-id="9.2">With vanilla syrup</li>
</ul>
<p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="10" class="css-6wxqfj emevuu60"><strong data-node-id="10.0">Unsweetened:</strong> The spices shine through prominently, particularly for cardamom fans (like myself). While the boldness is commendable, it lacks a certain creamy comfort.</p>
<p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="11" class="css-6wxqfj emevuu60"><strong data-node-id="11.0">Classic vanilla syrup:</strong> If you prefer the traditional sweet chai profile, simply order a grande with 3 to 4 pumps of this syrup.</p>
<p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="11.3"><strong data-node-id="11.3">Vanilla classic syrup:</strong> Here, things get intriguing. The vanilla adds a delightful richness that complements the warm spices beautifully.</p>
<p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="12" class="css-6wxqfj emevuu60">In a real-world scenario, I'd opt for a grande with just one pump of vanilla. My goal is a comforting drink, not a sugar rush by 8 a.m.</p>

<p data-journey-content="true" data-node-id="15" class="css-6wxqfj emevuu60">I’ve always defended lavender against its critics who claim it “tastes like grandma’s drawer sachet.” I’m pleased to see a floral flavor revival.</p>
