Tuesday ~ Starbucks Tuesday

Aaaaand ladies 'n' gents, we're back in motion with.....Staaaaarbucks Tuesday!  I've gone 2.5 weeks without any Starbucks and it frankly didn't faze me at all! Perhaps my coffee cravings are directly linked with driving to work, because that's the only time that I find myself irresistibly craving it. But here I am again, sitting in my office with some classic tunes playing, sipping away on a cup o' fall.

Yes, this is my FIRST fall Starbucks drink. And it is the:

Salted Caramel Mocha!

This was my first time trying the Salted Caramel and I expected great things. But on this side of the mocha, I can't say it's anything other than ordinary. It tastes like nothing special and I can't say that it has enhanced the feelings of fall. In fact, although you can't taste the salt as a blatant flavor, there's just something in it's flavor that missed the target for me. Perhaps it's the slightly stronger taste of coffee. Despite my great love for Starbucks I do not have a great love for an obtuse coffee flavor. Anyways, I'd give it a 3 on a scale of 1-5. (Hhmm....maybe I should make a little coffee scale and start rating the drinks?)

But as I've said before, pastries cover a multitude of sins and my Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake was just the ticket. :)

So, I'm considering a Coffee Link-up! Anybody interested? Like, take a picture of whatever coffee-ish beverage you might have during the week and then post about in on a Tuesday, with a link-up to me? Is this idea bomb-ish or brilliance? Talk to me, bloganistas!
