Indulge in Rich Flavors of Duo Cocoa and Dark Caramel from Starbucks

Indulge in Rich Flavors of Duo Cocoa and Dark Caramel from Starbucks

Starbucks Philippines is now offering two new flavors that I'm sure you'll love. They have a decadent chocolate treat with the Duo Cocoa Mocha and a sweet, luscious favorite with the Dark Caramel Latte. Only the Duo Cocoa Mocha is a new flavor since Starbucks also offered the Dark Caramel Latte September last year. It must really be a crowd favorite! 


Here's are my thoughts on the Duo Cocoa Mocha and Dark Caramel Latte.



DUO COCOA MOCHA (Short P135, Tall P145, Grande ₱ 160, Venti P170)

Another set of Starbucks Philippines Drinks - Duo Cocoa Mocha

Duo cocoa sauce is combined with velvety steamed milk and our roasty signature espresso to create a smooth and well-balanced beverage. It is then topped with chocolate whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and cocoa nibs sprinkles.


My Review: I tried it as a Frappucino and I loved it! It had a very delicious cocoa taste and it wasn't too sweet so it's not at all"nakakaumay." It's something that I would order from Starbucks over and over again (I know I'm a specialty coffee junkie but Starbucks Frappucinos are tasty). Since it's almost Starbucks Planner season, I probably will!  It really matches well with the signature Starbucks espresso blend, so a really good job to Starbucks on this drink! 


4.5/5 Stars!

DARK CARAMEL LATTE (Short P135, Tall P145, Grande ₱ 160, Venti P170)

Another set of Starbucks Philippines Drinks - Dark Caramel Latte

Dark Caramel Latte is a luxurious treat that caramel lovers simply cannot resist. We combine our creamy dark caramel sauce with steamed milk and our signature espresso then finish it off with whipped cream and a custardy, caramel flan drizzle.

My Review: The Dark Caramel Latte was once again quite sweet - the same comment I had last year. I'm quite sure that sweet-tooths out there will like this. Surprisingly enough, I like it better this year that I did last year. I suggest you get this as a Frappucino rather than a Latte so that you could really taste the delicious creamy dark caramel sauce. It doesn't have the same appeal when you get it as a hot drink. 


3.5/5 Stars!

Remember that if you're ordering the drinks as a Frappucino, these drinks would cost around Php25 more.


I suggest you try out these delicious new flavors every Wednesday for the month September because you'll get a free VIA stick from Starbucks as part of their promotion! That's what I call a sweet deal!


Which one is your favorite? I would like to hear your thoughts on the seasonal drinks in the comments section.
