Starbucks' Almondmilk Honey Flat White Showcases Its Blonde Espresso

— January 7, 2020 — Lifestyle
In 2020, Starbucks customers can look forward to new creations like the Almondmilk Honey Flat White, which is one of the new menu items that prominently features a plant-based milk alternative. This new beverage was created to complement the Starbucks Blonde Espresso, which is said to have a nuttier flavor and "pairs well with the lighter texture of milk alternatives."

The Almondmilk Honey Flat White also features a Honey Blend and steamed almondmilk, and is served with a dot of foam like a classic Flat White.

As part of its 2020 lineup, Starbucks is also introducing other comforting beverages featuring plant-based milk alternatives, as seen in the new Coconutmilk Latte and oatmilk as an additional non-dairy option.
