👍👍 I live near Seattle so we are used to Starbucks. I ordered the caramel Frappuccino and it is 100% better than what I get at Starbucks. Amazing and the people working today were so nice. I'll definitely be back during my vacation. I'm definitely not going to want another Frappuccino from Starbucks.
