What’s happening in March at…
Starbucks
The pistachio season is winding down, which means that the spring flavors will launch soon. Rumblings are that the spring menu will be launching on Thursday, March 7.
LAVENDER is going to be the new flavor and three drinks will be promoted. Interestingly, the lavender will be in powder form, not as a syrup. I’ve heard this makes it more sweet, and has a very floral taste.
I did a full write-up on the spring launch.
Dutch Bros
Poppin’ Boba is now available at Dutch Bros and will be through the end of April. You can add Strawberry Boba or Vanilla Honey Boba to your drinks.
Dutch Bros is suggesting adding it to many of their cold drinks including a chai, freeze and Rebel. You can check out their drink suggestions on their website.
And, they just announced that their “Protein Coffee” will now be a permanent menu item. (And we all rejoice!) Keep in mind it’s actually protein milk, not coffee, so you can add that milk to any milk-based drink.
Black Rock Coffee
On Saturday, March 2, Black Rock is launching its spring menu. The drinks include:
Strawberry Blondie
Coconut Irish Latte
Passion Fruit Strawberry Green Iced Tea with Dragon Fruit
Mai Tai Fuel Energy Drink
Dunkin’
Last week Dunkin’ announced a new beverages line called SPARKD' Energy by Dunkin’. You can get these drinks in Berry Burst or Peach Sunshine. They sound similar to Refreshers at Starbucks.
They also released two new featured drinks, the Churro Signature Latte and Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee both to go alongside their featured Churro Donut.
Scooter’s
Scooter’s has partnered with the cereal brand Cinnamon Toast Crunch to create a tasty latte that features the cereal.
They also have brought back their Lucky Leprechaun blender which combines white chocolate and cool mint flavors.
You can read all about it on the Scooter’s website.
