I am a huge fan of the Veranda blend. I have been a Starbucks drinker for several years, but it was due to convenience of the locations vs. the coffee itself. That all changed when they rolled out Veranda! This is now my favorite coffee. It's definitely the perfect blend in my opinion. It has the right amount of sweetness and doesn't have the typical Starbucks "burnt" taste to it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like my coffee light and full of dairy products. The chocolatey taste of this blend was good. I did not find it bitter at all. Combined with my own favorite selections of creamers and just the right amount of sugar, it was a good cup of coffee.

The blonde roast is finally the coffee I have been waiting for from Starbucks. I have always loved Starbucks coffees, but sometimes the coffee is too strong and heavy. The blonde roast has the boldness and richness I want in a coffee without the overpowering strength that makes it too strong to drink. I can have the bold richness I like without the heavy strength that sometimes hurts my stomach.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favorite Starbucks blend. The coffee has a wonderful light flavor without tasting too bitter. With dark roasts I like to add milk, but I enjoy this blend black because the flavor is so nice.

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

My husband was despairing due to extreme tummy continually. We changed to this particular coffee and no more coffee woes!!!!! I love this coffee VERANDA too!! It is really tasty!!!! Now we enjoy it daily at home as well as when we are traveling or shopping. THANKS STARBUCKS!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only Starbuck's hot coffee I will drink. I dislike bitter strong coffee, and this is very different from other blends. It's mild, but a nice coffee flavor, not fruity and spicy like some. Just coffee. Good coffee. Thumbs up.

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.

[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.

I don't know all the fancy words for this coffee, all I know is it is supremely drinkable! I am not one for terribly dark roasts, and actually had been going to other roasters to get a light roast. Then, finally, SB heard the pleas of coffee drinkers like me who don't seek out "pucker power" but rather want a more pleasant experience, and now we have Blonde coffees! Outstanding, easy to drink, good hot or cold, good morning or night, (unless you are like me and can't sleep after drinking coffee in the afternoon). Can't say enough good things!! Bottom line, totally yummy! Enjoy!!
