| - My mother insisted I try the new s'mores Frappuccino next time I got a chance, so after the last day of classes, I figured why not reward a long semester's work with a little treat?
I seen a sign that said half-price Frappuccino happy hour from 3-5pm the first 10 days of May. It was May 6th at 2:45, so I took a stroll around the block and got back right in time to be side-swiped by a mob of sorority girls shuffling into Starbucks.
After a methodical queue and only about 5 minutes of total wait time, my order was courteously taken, and within another 3 minutes, I was holding the fabled s'mores frap.
I thought it was delicious! Of course, I come here so infrequently that it seems like everything they have here is pretty swell, no matter what I get. For the prices they usually charge, it better be, at that!
I especially didn't mind the price, only $2.60 for a grande! I think if Frappuccinos were discounted this much all the time you'd probably see me in here a lot more often.
It seems some of the other reviewers have not had quite as good of experiences, citing long wait times and grouchy baristas. Maybe I got lucky today, but this Starbucks was moving people and doing it unusually quick, too. Numbers were being handed out and called up very expeditiously, it seems they had a bit of an assembly line going on the Frappuccino's behind the counter.
Half price fraps, quick and friendly service, and a tasty caffeinated beverage surely deserves a good review in my book.
