I’ve decided Starbucks’ new game is to fit as many words into their drink titles as humanly possible. Here’s another mouthful, just in time for Valentine’s Day: the White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Cold Brew. This one pairs the signature cold brew with vanilla syrup, then adds a white chocolate strawberry cold foam and chocolate curls on top.
Well, let’s just get right to the verdict here. This drink was fabulous. The strawberry flavor in the cold foam was fantastic – it was very authentic. I didn’t really get any white chocolate feel, but it didn’t bother me since the strawberry was so good. The best way I can describe this cold brew is light and fluffy. Went down easy, tasted great, and the cold foam melted beautifully into the drink. If you want a drink that tastes pretty, this is definitely it.
I always love a vanilla syrup in the cold brew, so that didn’t disappoint either. Overall, the sweetness level was perfect – both in the cold brew and cold foam. Everything was perfectly balanced.
I took this down one point in my rating because the chocolate curls were nowhere in sight. In case it might have been a fluke, I got a second one of these at another location in my area and, again, no chocolate curls. I asked the barista at the second stop, and she told me they were completely out of the curls. The Midwest recently had a slight snowmaggedon, so I’m wondering if it’s a supply chain issue. I went as far as to chat with a customer service rep online who said there wasn’t any information available on whether the chocolate curls were a standard part of the drink… even though it’s in the description. If anyone else gets them, I would love to know how they are in the comments!
Without the missing chocolate curls, I would have given this a 10 out of 10. But I’ll certainly be getting this one again. I’m hopeful that Starbucks keeps up the fruity additions in the months to come, as they’ll be perfect for spring and summer.

They look like Twhoppers. Also, where’s the beef? I mean, where’s the caramel? (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)
