Starbucks Quarterly Challenge

Starbucks Quarterly Challenge
December 15, 2022- March 14, 2023


 
Starbucks Corporation is an American multinational chain of coffeehouses and roastery reserves headquartered in Seattle, Washington. It is the world's largest coffeehouse chain.

My favorite Starbucks drink currently is the Iced coffee with milk with a sweet cream cold foam on top as well as the pumpkin spice topping. What is your favorite coffee drink? Or are more of a hot chocolate or tea drinker?

Whatever your favorite drink, we hope you enjoy this Starbucks-themed challenge!
