I always loved the Reduced Fat Cinnamon Swirl Coffee cake in the Starbucks pastry case. It was one of my all-time favorite items. It’s coming home. You’ll start to see it again at your local Starbucks on March 31, 2015. When Starbucks transitioned to La Boulange pastry items, this was one item that Starbucks discontinued.
I haven’t had the chance to try this new version of the Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake yet. I assume it’s been through some recipe changes to be simplified, in keeping with the La Boulange bakery philosophy.
See you tomorrow at Starbucks for the launch of many new things and the return of this favorite!

I too enjoyed this pastry. Quite interesting that so many of the old favorites are returning. Has the relationship changed with La Boulange? I know SB owns it but has customer demands shifted the pastry choices?
We’ve had it in our store for a couple weeks now. Personally I haven’t noticed a change. But I know customers have been pleased to see it show up again in the case! I always chuckle a little when people say no to it, because they don’t want coffee in their cake. To which I let them know know its a coffee cake because it goes well with coffee, or anything else for that matter.
Its all about that yummy crumbly topping!
How strange. We aren’t a LaBoulange store but we’ve had this cake all along. I also like it a lot! The LaBoulange item I want to try most is the Almond Blossom!! See you in 8 days!!
@Becca, yeah when we launched it at the beginning of the month it was not yet available under the new recipes. They only just started to ship it. When you launch I’m pretty sure you will have it.
Almond Blossom by the way…my fav!! And the Cheese Danish. Still wish we got more of the items that the US got, like the Salted Caramel Bar… ps it’s @bowtiecoffeeguy 🙂
Never got achance to try it. Look forward to trying it tomorrow!
This is so exciting! I’m looking forward to having this back 🙂
Oh! The coffee came today!!! I’m so excited to use it for my Coffee Master Certification on Friday!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Does anyone know what happened to the spinach wheat square? The stores tell me it is discontinued but it was recently added to the featured food on the app menu.
I think this would pair well with the PP Special Reserve @Elisabeth. What do you think @Melody? Btw, I know I have thanked you so much via social media, bur once again I really appreciate your generosity Melody! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😉
Had the coffee cake this morning. Funny you should mention about the spinach square because I noticed it was missing and that was one of the pastries I enjoyed. Saw the new bistro boxes today but was surprised there were only two of each in the case.
@Amy, the spinach wheat square is indeed discontinued. However, there are new savories coming next month 🙂
@purple1 the new bistro boxes are insanely popular, and stores can only order a limited amount right now. my store can only order 3 at a time, when in reality we could sell 4x that amount! that are SO GOOD!
