Wasn't sure what to expect as I'd never tried this flavor before - but WOW, was not disappointed. The flavor was rich and smooth. This is one of the new blonde flavors and while appropriate any time of the day - but a breakfast must and after dinner must try. You'll love it.

[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.] 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 really like this coffee blend it’s super good and not strong like other coffees. I’m very picky when it comes to coffee and this is the one I was looking for I never tried it but now I love it. I really recommend this one.

My favorite coffee flavor has been the veranda blonde roast. I enjoy black coffee without added flavors. When the packaging was changed to gold, chocolate and malt was added which I no longer will drink. Please bring back the mellow and soft flavor in the silver packaging. You no longer offer my favorite hot or cold drink since you discontinued the cool lime refresher.

I saw the commercial where the guy claims his Mom didn't like how strong Starbucks coffee is normally, but she liked the Veranda Blend. As cliche as it may seem, that described my Mom exactly. We gave her a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas, and I included a box of the Veranda Blend Keurig cups. She doesn't like to admit it, but she's hooked (and so am I). Looks like I'll be buying these on a regular basis now.

Coffee started to taste all the same to me; I bought a pound of this when I was in a store to buy gift cards and remembered that I still had a gift card of my own. Had them grind it for me for percolator (I know, I see coffee snobs cringing) and found it flavorful but not acidic. I bought a new grinder and started getting this regularly. I AM disappointed that this is not labeled as 'bird friendly' since there is a hummingbird on the label. In fact, NO current Starbucks blends are--it's a designation created by the Smithsonia for coffees that are organic and shade-grown, in places that do not cut trees needed for migrating bird habitat. It does make a difference. But, I like the coffee--I wish Starbucks would make more of an effort to find bird friendly suppliers.

Bold coffee lovers do not despair. If you grind the beans to an fine espresso grind and use 1/4 more, the magnificent flavors of this coffee really come out. This then becomes a coffee even bold coffee lovers will really enjoy. Take it from me, I am one of them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great quality coffee! The taste is delicious and the aroma is amazing! Just the way I love, and specially perfect for espressos! I definitely recommend it and I will buy it again too when mine is over!

[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.
