Hey, Tigers! It’s Lianah and Savannah! On Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026, Starbucks released its spring menu. Every spring, many are excited to find out the specialty spring drinks that will be offered for a limited time at the popular coffee chain. From a fruity refresher to a sweet iced coffee, we decided to try a few of these new drinks to see if they are worth your money and your time. We will be reviewing the taste, look, and the overall experience of each drink. We hope our review will help you decide which one you want to try this season!
Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato:
The first drink we tried was a tall Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato ($6.59). This is a vibrant drink with a purple ube cold foam and is made up of coconut milk, espresso, coconut syrup. The coconut ube cold foam is sprinkled with coconut flakes on top.
Lianah’s Review:
After trying this drink, I rate it a 4/10 given its strange taste. I don’t think the combination of the Ube cold foam and strong espresso flavor go well together. I would not recommend this drink unless you like a strong coffee flavor. I don’t think I would purchase this again as it does not taste good in my opinion. If the drink had a subtle coffee taste and it wasn’t so overpowering, I feel like I would have enjoyed it more.
Savannah’s Review:
Overall, I rate this drink a 3/10. The ube cold foam with the coconut flakes mixed with coffee made it taste weird. In my opinion, I didn’t like the flavor of ube and coffee together. If you’re a person who likes coconut a lot, though, then I would recommend trying this. But if you aren’t a person who likes coconut, don’t try it. I will not be buying this drink again.
Chai Latte:
The second drink we tried was a tall Iced Chai Latte ($5.48), popular, creamy spiced tea that can be enjoyed iced or hot.
Lianah’s Review:
Overall, for me, I think the Iced Chai Latte tasted really good and also looked good with its perfect light brown color. I rate this drink an 8/10 because of its refreshing taste with the perfect hint of cinnamon. I recommend this drink; however, if you don’t like cinnamon or strong spices, I wouldn’t recommend this drink for you. Overall, it is something I enjoyed trying and would purchase again.
Savannah’s Review:
After trying this, I rated it a 8/10 as well. This drink looked the best out of all of them, in my opinion. This drink had a good amount of cinnamon and none of the flavors in this drink were overpowering. I recommend this drink if you like cinnamon. Overall, the drink would be good for a nice day outside. I would buy it again but not all of the time.
Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew:
Our last drink we tried was a tall Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew ($5.81). Starbucks’ signature cold brew is made with a sweetened vanilla syrup and topped with a toasted coconut cream cold foam that is sprinkled with coconut flakes.
Lianah’s Review:
In my opinion, this was the worst drink overall. I rate it a 0/10. The coffee flavor was too strong and bitter for me; I prefer my coffee sweeter and smoother. The coconut cream cold foam wasn’t really noticeable in this drink. Actually, the coffee overpowered every other flavor included in this drink. This drink was just way too strong for me. I feel like the bitter taste ruined the taste of the drink. I would, however, recommend this drink if you enjoy a strong coffee. But, if you prefer a lighter coffee taste, I wouldn’t recommend it. I definitely would not purchase this drink again.
Savannah’s Review:
After trying this drink, I rate it a 0/10. In my opinion, the flavor of the coconut cream wasn’t that bad, but the coffee part was just way too strong for me. I think that the coffee really overpowered the drink. You could taste a hit of coconut but not much just because the coffee was so strong. In my opinion, I would never get this again, but if you’re a person who likes strong coffee, then you should give it a try.
Conclusion
Overall, we enjoyed tasting and reviewing these drinks and sharing our thoughts about them. It was fun trying these select spring drinks from this year’s Starbucks menu. Each drink had a different taste and unique features. This was very exciting and we were able to see which drinks stood out the most to us.
We hope this article was informative and gives you a better idea of whether any of these drinks are ones you’d like to purchase the next time you visit a Starbucks. Overall, if you enjoy seasonal drinks or just want to try something new, we do recommend that you try something from the new menu as it is totally different from the regular Starbucks menu.
