What Flavors Work For You?

While we visit coffee shops around the area, we've had the chance to test out a wide variety of flavored coffees and coffee beverages (lattes, cappuccinos, etc.) As I've often said, if we all liked the same things, the world would be a very boring place. So, I don't expect that everyone will enjoy the same flavors that I might make my first choice.


Funnily enough, though I enjoy a raspberry specialty drink from time to time, I'm not a big fan of fruity-flavored coffees. I actually find the thought of blueberry flavored coffee a little off-putting. I've tried a couple and I just can't get into the vibe. With one exception...I love, Love, LOVE the pumpkin spice coffees you can get pretty readily once the temps drop and the air gets a little crisp. It's like pumpkin pie without the baking time!




I have to admit, I've been very hesitant, even scared, to try a mint flavored coffee. I like mint, and I love chocolate and the mint coffees tend to be paired with chocolate...but I'm still not sure. Have any of you given a mint flavored coffee a whirl?



My favorites? I like anything with chocolate. Coffee and chocolate go together like "peas and carrots". White chocolate concoctions also get a nod from me. But my go-to, favorite flavor...toffee. I like the buttery, slightly salty touch it adds to coffee. I'm a big fan of salty mixed with sweet.

How about you? What flavors work? And which make you shudder?
