The 10 Best Starbucks Frappuccinos Of All Time

by Megan Broussard

Because I don’t think any of you out there are living under rocks, you probably know that not only is the Starbucks Frappuccino turning 20 years old, your favorite coffee chain has also rolled out a limited time only Birthday Cake Frappuccino to celebrate. That’s right, you can have your cake and drink it too in the form of a frothy, delicious, vanilla and hazelnut confection from now until the end of March — and that, my friends, is wonderful news. But while we all love anything new Starbucks has to offer us, there’s something to be said about the classics, too. Which is why, in the spirit of celebration, we’re taking a look back at the top 10 best Starbucks Frappuccino flavors of all time.

In the last two decades, the Frappuccino has done its part to get us through the (caffeine and sugar) highs and lows of life. The drink that people still can’t figure out how to spell has definitely evolved over time, treating us to more flavor combinations than we could ever possibly imagine. But which ones are the best? Admittedly, the criteria I used to select the winners weren’t at all scientific, but instead were based purely on my personal preference, what I believe to be society’s personal preference, and the awesomeness of Instagram photos I found (OK, well that last part was scientific because it was research). Let’s begin.

10. Hazelnut

This flavor reminds me of the holidays, but I'll drink it any day.

9. Strawberries and Crème

This is what summer tastes like.

8. Toffee Mocha

People will understand if you don't respond to them while sipping on this one. It's not rude. You're just out at the moment on cloud nine.

7. Tiramisu

It's the dessert you can drink.

6. Vanilla Bean

Can't go wrong with this classic, right?

5. Caramel Flan

I always feel like a fancy pants when I sip this one. "More whip, please? And, do you have any Grey Poupon?"

4. Cinnamon Dolce

Have you ever wanted to live in the center of a warm and gooey cinnamon roll? That's where I am mentally when I drink this one. Wouldn't you agree?

3. Birthday Cake

This celebratory birthday Frap is only around until the end of March, so hurry, or you will be that girl crying in Starbucks (which means we'd probably be friends so text me and we'll hang).

2. Double Chocolaty Chip Crème

It's not just full of chocolate chips. It's full of chocolate chips plus even more chocolate chips. And if that doesn't turn you on like the dirtiest food porn out there, then you are not human.

1. White Chocolate Mocha

Honestly, it's so beautiful that it's hard to drink it. (This is what you say to yourself after you already drank it. #goodintentions)
