With a slight aroma of pecans, the Veranda also makes good iced coffee. Since this coffee has few of the spicy, herbal aromas that often conflict with milk (and I like whole, organic milk in coffee) this works well to help me start the day. I'm still hoping that Starbucks brings back the Iced Coffee Whole Bean that they sold a few years ago. In the meantime, this will do as a substitute.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this blend for its smoothness and great flavor. It's not too strong and it's not bitter. It has a nice, smooth mouth feel. It tastes great hot and also iced which is my preferred way of consuming coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Starbucks ground coffee tastes great. It is strong and makes a great pot of coffee and also works great with pour-over and as a cold brew in my opinion. I love the flavor of this coffee a lot - the chocolate undertone is flavorful but not overpowering and adds a nice hint to my coffee. As always, Starbucks is a superior company in making coffee products and really knows what they are doing. I definitely recommend this!

I guess men do prefer "Blonde" because this is some great tasting coffee. Our office secretary brought in a sample bag the other day, so we lit it up and what a treat. We both were really impressed. When I got home I told my wife how good this new blend is and hope I can find it in our local grocery store and brew her up a cup, (okay make that a pot.).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally drink medium or dark roast coffee, but decided to give light roast Veranda blend a try. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. It's smooth, less acidic which means less heartburn for me, and the first thing I noticed was less of the oil sitting on top. The taste was light with a slight cocoa taste to it. As someone who always thought the medium or darker roast was better, this might just be the new coffee in my house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this was the lightest roast they have but it tasted really strong. It wasn’t bad it still tasted good but it was just stronger than I expected. I like the Starbucks unsweetened blonde roast cold brew that is already prepared in the refrigerator section versus these.

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this as a product to test, but I knew I would love it. The Starbucks blonde roast has been my favorite regular coffee for years. It is smooth and flavorful with out being over powering for me. I love Starbucks flavored coffees but I get tired of them and need a break. This is the one I reach for the most.

The coffee is good, but an absolutely unreasonable number if the K-cups fail while brewing. The filter inside breaks ( I cut a couple of them open) and it fills my cup full of grounds or plugs the cup drain tube on my Kuereg making the grounds come out the top of the cup and into the machine. I think I will just stick with the Members Mark K-cups, they always work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Typically I purchase dark roast for my cold brew but decided to give the Blonde Veranda Blend a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the smooth and flavorful taste while also still giving a nice coffee flavor. I would purchase again to mix up my cold-brew recipe to break up the monotony.
