Starbucks's New Summer Menu Features a Plant-Based Coconut and Lime Cake

29/04/2021 - 02:02 PM

Starbucks [1] just unveiled its new summer food and drink menu, and it's pretty extensive. Made up of five core categories — savoury food, sweet food, iced teas, iced coffees, and blended beverages — there's genuinely something for everyone.

The lunch menu features a brand new beef steak roll, classic chicken and bacon club, and two new protein pots for quick bites. The list of sweet treats is even more impressive and centres around a strawberries and raspberries theme, featuring a strawberries and cream cake, strawberry shortbread, and raspberry swirl, and raspberry blondie — plus an exciting new plant-based coconut and lime cake. In terms of drinks, plenty of familiar favourites will be returning, including the strawberries and cream frappuccino [2], iced vanilla latte, and iced cappuccino, alongside some funky new additions. The summer menu is available from 6 May in UK stores and through Starbucks Delivers via Uber Eats and Just Eat.

Read on to take a deeper look at every single new item on the menu.

Starbucks Beef Steak Roll

Nothing says fancy lunch quite like a beef steak, and Starbucks's new beef steak roll is the perfect way to do it. It's a crusty artisan roll filled with succulent beef, smooth mayo, spiced BBQ sauce, pink pickled onions, and spinach (for added health, of course), and it sounds great.

Starbucks Chicken & Avo Crush Protein Pot

Protein pots are the perfect go-to snack for busy days, so Starbucks's new chicken and avocado pot is a very welcome addition to their menu. The pot includes a chicken breast layered with shredded beetroot, grains, creamy crushed avocado, crisp spinach leaves, and it's topped with a free-range egg for good measure.

Starbucks Rainbow Veg Protein Pot

For those of you who don't quite fancy the chicken, the rainbow veg protein pot is the way to go. Available from the end of May, it's complete with crunchy carrot, edamame beans, and a corn crush, the pot is paired with spinach and a black bean relish.

Starbucks Chicken, Ham and Bacon Club

The ultimate classic, Starbucks's chicken, ham, and bacon club sandwich is a perfect option for those who want to play it safe. The club is a slightly smaller sandwich, made with soft malted bread and filled with chicken, ham, bacon, slices of sweet tomato, crisp lettuce, and a mild cheddar cheese.

Starbucks Plant-Based Coconut & Lime Cake

As part of its commitment to expand its vegan and plant-based menu, Starbucks has added a plant-based coconut and lime cake to the new summer menu. It's a moist coconut loaf cake filled with a zesty lime curd and topped with a fun lime frosting and toasted coconut flakes. Delicious.

Starbucks Iced Raspberry Swirl

This summer, it's time to let the cinnamon buns rest, and give the raspberry swirl its moment in the sun. Starbucks's new iteration is made with soft dough, a sweet raspberry swirl, sticky icing, and it's topped with toasted almonds for an extra crunch.

Starbucks Raspberry Blondie

A gooey, fudgy blondie slice made with sharp raspberry jam, and generous chunks of rich white chocolate, Starbucks's newest sweet treat is the ultimate brownie upgrade.

Starbucks Strawberry & Cream Cake

The summer menu also features the perfect companion to Starbucks's strawberries and cream frappuccino, the strawberry and cream cake. An almond and cream sponge filled with sweet strawberry jam, the cake is topped with a dollop of soft icing, and tangy freeze-dried strawberry sprinkles.

Starbucks Strawberry & White Chocolate Shortbread

To complete the series of strawberry-themed goods, the strawberry and white chocolate shortbread is Starbucks's final prize. A buttery shortbread slice complete with white chocolate chunks and strawberry flavoured pieces, it also features a touch of black pepper for a bit of spice.

Starbucks Hibiscus Iced Tea

Iced tea is about to come back in a big way, and it's starting with hibiscus iced tea. It's fresh and floral, made up of green tea, hibiscus syrup, and cool lemonade, served cold over ice. What's not to love?

Starbucks Lemon Iced Tea

Another summer classic, lemon iced tea is the go-to for when you just want guaranteed refreshment. In Starbucks's version, lemonade is mixed with freshly brewed green tea and a zingy citrus syrup, served cold over ice for the ultimate hydration.

Starbucks Peach Iced Tea

If lemon doesn't quite float your boat, there is another way. Starbucks's new peach iced tea is made with a combination of sweet peach syrup and freshly brewed green tea, served crisp and cold over ice.

Starbucks Caramel Brownie Cream Frappuccino

For a truly indulgent summer, the new caramel brownie cream frappuccino is the way to go. Made up of smoothly blended caramel brownie brûlée, paired with milk, ice, and topped with cooling coffee whipped cream, finished with pieces of caramel brownie.

Starbucks Chocolate Coffee Crunch Frappuccino

If brownies feel a bit too extreme, and coffee is what's really on the agenda, the Starbucks's chocolate coffee crunch frappuccino is the one for you. Made up of a sunflower seed and chocolate caramel brittle blended with coffee, cold milk and ice, the drink is topped with a delicious coffee whipped cream and a sprinkling of chocolate caramel crumb.

Starbucks Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino

Starbucks's classic strawberries and cream frappuccino is the ultimate summer drink. Made up of an icy combination of strawberries and milk and blended with ice, it's topped with an indulgent swirl of whipped cream.

Iced Cappuccino

For those who want to be a little more sophisticated, the new iced cappuccino is made up of Starbucks's signature espresso, paired with a touch of milk (or a dairy-free option, if you're so inclined), and topped with a crisp, cold foam.

Starbucks Iced Mocha

The iced mocha is once again made up of Starbucks's signature espresso, and paired with mocha sauce, creamy milk, and ice. It's topped with smooth whipped cream for an icy cold finish, and is recommended alongside the new original nut blend milk.

Starbucks Iced Vanilla Latte

For lovers of the warm vanilla latte, an iced version now exists for you to sip all summer long. Made up of Starbucks's signature espresso, paired with milk, ice, and vanilla syrup, it's a chilled twist on a total classic.
