This is my favorite brewed coffee that I've had since I've been drinking coffee. I've always thought Starbucks coffee was too bold for my taste so therefore I never purchased it. But when I tried the Blonde Roast, it was almost like a new coffee awakening for me! I love it and and I grab up all the k-cup packs I can for our office Keurig machine. It's not too light, and not too bold. Just right!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Love these. They have a Great taste and is easy to use. Just Pop it into the keurig and you get a nice tasting hot cup of coffee. The strength of the caffeine is just right and enough for me to start my days. Love it!

I have never been a big fan of Starbucks Coffee, always had to add lots of sugar and steamed milk for my taste. This morning I tried a sample of the "Blonde" Roast, and then ordered one. I LOVED IT!! If I take a sip of coffee, and don't need to add sugar or cream, I know I have a great cup of coffee. And this is it. I purchased a bag to bring home. Can't wait to make a pot tomorrow morning!

My favorite coffee is usually Columbi9. However, I discovered Willow Blend and have really enjoyed drinking it every morning. Lately, I've not been able to find Willow, which saddens me. However, I tried the Veranda Blend a d love, love it. It's smooth, nutty and makes for a great start to my morning. THANKS STARBUCKS !

Was never a drinker of the regular Starbucks coffee because I did not like the strong, bitter, ashtray-like taste. I always opted for a flavored espresso drink instead. Decided to try this when it came out and I am glad I did. Not too strong; not bitter and overall, a wonderful flavor! The blonde roast is delicious! It is my new regular! Please don't ever drop this delightful coffee from your menu.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As far as Starbucks coffee goes, this is my favorite blend by far. I don't feel like it has the burnt taste that many of the Starbucks beans do. If I'm going to purchase Starbucks coffee for home, this is definitely the one.

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 Starbucks blonde roast! I sub it into all my espresso based drinks when I order in store so I love to brew this up at home. I use a coarse grind for my French press and it comes out just lovely. Pairs nice i with my sbux creamers too!!

I only drink Veranda Blend and got a new set of k cup boxes a few days ago. But I could easily tell the difference in the taste. It tastes really bad now. Dear Starbucks, I'm not sure what caused this change but please bring back my favorite classic Veranda Blend!!! I really miss its soft and mellow taste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Veranda Blend is my go to coffee of choice. Veranda is a perfect choice if you enjoy a lightly roasted coffee. I must say this blonde roast with the hint of rich chocolate is delicious. I add a little cream and a sprinkle of sugar and it is heavenly! My favorite warm drink choice!
