This week, your barista might surprise and delight you with a cookie straw! The cookie straw is now a thing at Starbucks. It’s designed to go in the S’mores Frappuccino, which launches everywhere on April 28th.
Here’s a look at the S’mores Frappuccino – you will love it! I’ve had several already and can’t believe how good they are. This special Frappuccino calls for a marshmallow whipped cream, milk chocolate sauce, coffee Frappuccino with graham cracker syrup, more marshmallow whipped cream, and a graham cracker topping. And for 95 cents, you can get a cookie straw! The new cookie straws are made by La Boulange, like the new Marvelous Madeleines and many other pastry and food items in stores.

This week, your barista has a limited number of cookie straws to surprise and delight customers with! Baristas will be giving away a small number of the cookie straws this week – they’ll be in special orange wrapping to remind customers of Frappuccino Happy Hour. Hopefully you’ll get one. Be nice to your barista and tip! You’ll be able to order the cookie straw with your Frappuccino for 95 cents starting on the 28th. Remember if you’re visiting Starbucks during Frappuccino Happy Hour, your Frappuccino is half off!
I don’t normally drink a lot of Frappuccinos but this year, I might be drinking a lot more than usual!
Yum!
On a serious note, don’t pass up the green straw with your drink. The standard green straw is a lot more functional than a cookie straw – you might want to just eat the cookie straw while you enjoy your Frappuccino. 😉
(If you are allergic to peanuts, you might want to stay away from the new cookie straws. It’s been mentioned to me that refined peanut oil is listed as an ingredient in the new cookie straws.)

Sounds like the cookie straw is worth a try! Should go well with the new S’mores. Is Tuesday April 28th the date for the Spring Launch? I was hoping Brezza Blend would be back again this year, perhaps even in K- Cups! Any advance word on this?
I’m so excited for these! The launch for the S’ mores Frappuccino and the caramel ribbon crunch is on Tuesday! I haven’t heard about any seasonal launch for coffee yet, but I will keep my eye out 🙂
I’m disappointed the Brezza Blend hasn’t returned yet either. I haven’t heard whether it’ll be back for Summer 2 but I hope so.
I can’t wait to try the cookie straw. It looks so tasty!
I tried it this morning and I love it.. I’m excited to have the sugar cookie that looks like an ice coffee
Melody, do you know if the graham cracker syrup is gluten free? I would love to try the S’mores Frappuccino (minus the graham cracker crumbs). Other flavored syrups are usually just sugar and flavoring. Thanks.
Imagine trying this with the other Frappuccinos! They look like the Pirouline wafers with a hole in the middle. They must be so good!
I hope they keep these straws around forever. They taste great and are affordable as a great snack anytime. Kids and grownups will enjoy them.
I tried the cookie straw with my Caramel Frappuccino it was great with it. 🙂
I know this is post is old news, but just thought I’d mention that refined peanut oil is – thank heavens – not an allergen. I’m mad-allergic to nuts but last year discovered it was safe to eat fries cooked in peanut oil. Bring on the cookie straw!
