[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like a lighter tasting coffee and the veranda blend is that for me. It’s not too strong and tastes delicious. I like to use a little milk and vanilla syrup to my coffees and they always taste so good. This is my favorite ground coffee #ad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have family breakfast at my house weekly. When deciding on the coffee they wanted next, this coffee was the unanimous decision. Paired with their favorite Creamer it's amazing!!! I love how the house smells when it's brewing. My teen daughters fight over who's getting the first cup. It's definitely a family favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee is so delicious! It's smooth with bold flavors. I love the hints of chocolate flavor it has. The chocolate flavor just makes this coffee taste so amazing! It seems to relax me and give me energy. It's definitely a winner for me!

Truthfully, I'm not a great fan of Starbucks darker roast coffees, save for the occasional specialties (Casa Cielo, i.e.) & assorted espresso drinks (Americano particularly tasty); I just never understood the accolades for the standard brewed daily choices. The thing that always cemented me as a regular was that Starbucks coffee is a consistently reliable brew - the quality control & care is the hallmark of this great company. My tepid response to the coffee offerings changed dramatically - spectacularly - after my of Veranda! I prefer to brew my own at home - somehow it tastes so much better from a French press of 193-degree water for roughly 2 minutes - but I am not disappointed anymore when I can get a cup at a store (although, it still tastes darker, most probably because they use more coffee than I do.) One proviso: the pour-overs consistently suck! All that said, Veranda (and, to a lesser degree Willow) is a basic mainstay of my coffee life. There isn't even one bean of bitterness, aftertaste, nor "graphite/ash acridness" when brewed freshly. The cupping notes of a haunting of cocoa, a so-subtle cloud of chocolate, freshly dug soil on a summer's day, a sapid infusion of something akin to nuttiness, and a vigorous-but-mellow-brightness collaborate to create just DELICIOUS frottage across the tastebuds! There are very few coffees with such an immutably consistent pleasure to the palate, no matter how many times one drinks it. I love this coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the strong aroma. Dark roasted and low acidity. As it says the tasting note is dark coca and carmelized sugar, there’s a hint of sweetness. Also love the packing, easy to seal and store. Recommend to coffee lovers.

I've always heard about the blonde roasts, but I haven't had it until now. This coffee is excellent! It's closer to a medium roast than a light roast, but it's an insane improvement on their medium and dark "roasts." This coffee also has a delicate almond note.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks Veranda Blend Blonde Roast Ground Coffee is absolutely the best and my new favorite! Veranda Blend is one of my favorites. The hint of cocoa makes this coffee familiar but the bright finish of the acidity makes for a clean flavor and very drinkable coffee. This flavor profile makes for a great iced coffee as well. Hot or iced, this coffee packs a lot of flavor that does not need cream or sugar to make it palatable. Highly recommend since it's the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Starbucks coffee but I don’t like leaving home every day to get one so this is perfect! I get Starbucks quality at home with no line and it’s a fraction of the cost. Verona is a dark roast which is my favorite! It’s rich, bold but not at all bitter. I was able to pick out the sweet undertones of sweetness and cocoa as I sipped this delicious brew. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a “flavored” coffee but I am able to appreciate the rich flavor of the coffee beans themselves. For someone that’s not a regular coffee drinker this may be too strong but for me it’s perfect; bold, strong, and delicious. I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Starbucks Veranda blend K cups are great for a morning cup of coffee. Or evening based on your style! The taste is good as well as the energy it provides. Easy to use on a Keurig, no problems there.

Veranda, the blond is in the house! I love the blend of this blond coffee. It is not harsh or bitter, but it is not weak either. I purchase this online or at the Startbucks store in my area. I use the via at home. It has versatility and lets me brew it fresh for each cup. My son, I just found out, uses the same blend. He is in the Army and works out of an office. He brews his in K-cups. My go-to for decaf is Via Italian Roast Dark. Sometimes I add a 1/2 tsp of dry cocoa to it for a different taste profile.
