The drink boasts a creamy profile that is indulgently flavored like banana crepes with topping of chocolate and hazelnuts as a finishing touch. The drink has a slightly textured profile thanks to a serving of crushed almonds in the mix that give it a bit more balance as an indulgent beverage that's perfect as a treat. The Starbucks Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Crepe drink is available exclusively at convenience stores at the low-cost price point of 230 yen ($2.15) each and comes packaged in a domed container complete with a straw.
