HANOVER, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Starbucks lovers have new protein-packed foams and lattes coming to the menu, which is getting some mixed reviews.
Hanover locals offered their opinions on the new beverages coming on September 29th. Protein-packed milk and foam, along with sugar-free or unsweetened options, will be available. Patrice spoke about the new offer while sipping her latte with no foam.
“I feel like it's not for certain people, some people like it,” said Patrice. “I feel like they need to make something separate.”
Others on the south shore have a different outlook, like Kara, who can’t wait to have more options.
“I'm more into kind of like a sweet drink, like a treat,” said Kara. “For someone who doesn’t actually like coffee very much, I would recommend it.”
Social media had some mixed reviews as well, with some users joking they would rather head to Dairy Queen for their dairy fix than to Starbucks.
Starbucks will introduce the new protein cold foam in a variety of flavors, as well as a line of new protein lattes.
