"2.50 stars.\n\nI try to patronize only local coffee houses, but a friend gave me a gift card for Christmas, so I checked out the menu here after I bought something from Target (this store is inside Target). I was drawn to the ad of \"Smoked Butterscotch Latte,\" (\"kettle-cooked butterscotch!\") and when I asked the Latina cashier/server if the butterscotch contained corn syrup, she said she didn't know. I asked if I may look at the ingredients on the bottle, and she said there weren't any listed. So, I stepped aside, to allow the next person to order, and googled \"smoked butterscotch latte ingredients,\" and first result was from Starbucks' website: \n\nIngredients\nMilk, Smoked Butterscotch Sauce [Sugar, Brown Sugar, Corn Syrup, Heavy Cream, Water, Butter (Cream, Salt), Contains 2% Or Less Of Natural Smoke Flavors, Gum Acacia, Salt, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate, Xanthan Gum, Tocopherols], Brewed Espresso, Smoked Butterscotch Topping [Cane Sugar, Natural Flavors, Fruit And Vegetable Juice Colors (Apple, Purple Carrot, Hibiscus)].\n\nGlad I checked, because not only am I allergic to corn syrup (which I avoided decades ago as part of eating healthier, and then found out a few years after that some of my symptoms were caused by corn allergy), but also to carrot, which is used here to add color to the butterscotch. (\"Natural flavors\" are also corn-derived.) \n\nI ended up ordering the iced green tea latte for me and an iced \"caffe mocha\" for Mom, who was at home. I am not a fan of the iced green tea latte. Perhaps I should've gone with the hot variety... This came sweetened, and I assumed that the caffe mocha was also sweetened, but found out later after Mom took one sip. \"It's not sweet! Why is it not sweet?\" I posited that it must come unsweetened and one has to specify to add syrup, or sugar. So, a warning to you, in case you want your caffe latte sweetened that you must ask, or add a sweetener yourself.\n\nService was decent enough. The tables looked clean, but the charge card machine area had sticky-looking residue from a previous purchase. I had thought of pointing it out to her, but she seemed very busy maintaining the cleanliness of her side of the work station."^^ . . "2016-02-18T00:00:00"^^ . . . "31"^^ .
