Starbucks Will Begin Serving Ice Cream at Select Locations - Affogatos at Starbucks

Here's yet another cause to run for your nearest Starbucks this year: On Tuesday, the espresso chain announced that it might be including ice cream to its menu at a hundred stores in America, Business Insider reports.

And they might not just be promoting the Starbucks ice cream this is already in grocery shops. The new Starbucks deal with will be a new take on the affogato espresso dessert. Affogato is an Italian dessert which is basically an ice-cream-topped coffee shot.

The inspiration for the affogato dessert comes from the chain's affogato-style caramel, mocha, and vanilla bean flavored Frappuccinos, which had been brought to the menu final year.

The statement of the affogato dessert comes a yr after Starbucks introduced that it would be opening a series of fancier, new Reserve-only, roastery-fashion stores on the way to begin to open this year following the debut commencing in Seattle.

Two variations of the Roastery Affogato menu will be served at Starbucks. One might be served on the Reserve locations in cities which include Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington, D.C., and will encompass affogato flavors made with old Brew Malt, small-lot bloodless brew, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate bits. The different version of the dessert may be a inexpensive version made with Starbucks' Narino 70 cold brew and chocolate bits.

It's a #Shakerato #Affogato—pictures of Reserve coffee shaken to an icy froth, poured over ice cream, completed with a mint sprig. ???? Fine manner to treat yourself, @emyangma!

The less high priced affogato menu will be examined at a hundred conventional Starbucks places in Orange County, California. In addition to the affogato, the menu can even include a chilly brew ice cream waft and the Shakerato Affogato, that's a shaken espresso with vanilla syrup, and a mint sprig. Whoa.

A scoop of regionally sourced ice cream, a shot of single-foundation espresso, a whole lot of scrumptious. ☕️???? #EspressoAffogato #Regram: @brittiepoo
