[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Starbucks veranda blend ground coffee has all the great Starbucks tastes and you can make the coffee at home. I like the size of the bag and the convenience of already ground coffee. The Veranda blend has a nice smooth taste and is not as bitter as a dark roast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I drink coffee multiple times per day. My favorite blend is Colombian because it is strong. I enjoyed the taste of this coffee. It is bold enough without being bitter or upsetting my stomach. It is very smooth and smells great when brewing.

[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.

My husband got so excited when the Veranda blend was delivered to our house. He enjoys the taste and appreciates the smoothness. If he could drink only one coffee for the rest of his life, this would be it. I usually prefer bold, dark roast coffees, but I enjoy the Veranda blend as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this one because it has a good basic taste. It isn’t too bitter or sweet and pairs well with different creamers, to personal taste. It’s also strong enough to be a functional morning brew (possibly too strong). My major issues are the way that Starbucks treats it workers and fights unions, and that they have paired with Nestle, a corporation known to use child slavery in the acquisition of cocoa. This makes me question the validity of any sustainability or fair trade claims in the manufacture of their product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Nice resealable bag. No overwhelming flavor notes. Cons: None really. I found this product to be no better or worse than any other comparible products. I detected a slight "burnt" taste which I detect with any/all caramel noted coffees. I didn't detect any chocolate.

I would not call myself a coffee drinker, but I like the flavor of instant, especially this instant. I make my own iced mochas at home using 1 Via Blond, unsweeten soy & almond milk w/almond extract, plus a pack of dry Stevia and my own home made, no HFCS chocolate syrup. Now that's a "specialty" drink.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been a little skeptical about coffee because a lot of them have flavor but taste watered down. I feel like this is the case with this coffee unfortunately, it has flavor but it’s not strong, I feel like I’m drinking a coffee with melted Ice that has diluted it. Not a fan.

Via offers you great options in keeping your coffee at near peak taste. We take Via with us when we travel and then you only need to ask for HOT Water! Walla......great coffee. Via takes up little room, makes a great cup of coffee and you have choices in the coffee that you want to enjoy. Enjoy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a big fan of Starbucks coffee already, but am now a huge fan of their blond roast! I use this coffee every morning to make iced coffee and it tastes amazing! I would definitely recommend this flavor and will probably buy it again.
