[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Blonde roast (meaning lightly roasted) has notes of toasted malt and milk chocolate. According to Starbucks this blend mixes beautifully with milk, but I drink my coffee black so I can't attest to that. I can say that even on its own it had a smooth refreshing taste that did remind me of sitting on a veranda feeling a breeze! #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #freesample This blonde roast is the perfect start to my day with its wonderful aroma and taste. It gives me a boost during afternoon or miday slumps too. Great complement to meals as well with notes of milk chocolate and toasted malt. Never bitter or too acidic. Ethically sourced from 100% Arabica beans. Delicious hot or cold and with or without cream or sweetener.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love blonde roasts for breakfast and this is a great choice. It was perfect on its own without any sweetener or milk. Next time I would try grinding it myself as the preground coffee is too fine for a French press but this was the coffee prep option I had available. I don’t mind a bit of sediment in my coffee although I know coffee purists would cringe at this! But as far as flavor goes, it was very much to our liking. I was grateful to receive a free sample to try this out. #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am usually a dark roast coffee drinker. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this Veranda Blend Blonde Roast. It has a slight sweetness to it. Perfect for breakfast or dessert.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this coffee with a hint of chocolate. It has a smooth and chocolaty flavor. It's great anytime of day. It doesn't have a strong flavor. It's good with a little creamer or milk added. #freesample #ad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's light, smooth with notes of toasted malt+milk chocolate and can be brewed/drank hot or iced. You can add milk/alternatives or drink it plain. Goes well with breakfast items as it has light white-chocolate flavors or pick me up in afternoon with lunch. Very refreshing, less bitter and acidic. It has flavorful rich aroma but not weak in strength. This review was collected as part of a promotion but opinions are mine #freesample.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Starbucks Veranda blend coffee, that I received for free, has a wonderful light taste with a hint of chocolate. I've made it as both hot and iced and It goes great with my creamer without losing its original taste. The aroma while brewing is just amazing :) #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee was my favorite ..It is very well balanced and it is also a light coffee but seems more flavorful..It has a hint of the malt and milk chocolate but you can't really taste it.. I really enjoyed this coffee ! And will be buying it #ad #freesample

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #ad #freesample I love blonde blends from Starbucks and Veranda is not exception. I usually add creamer and sugar to most medium or dark blends, but Veranda is smooth enough for me that I just added a little bit of milk and no sugar. I use an old-fashioned drip set up for the cup in between and one scoop works well for the standard Starbucks mugs. You can easily add ice, but for me the cup in the morning still needs to be warm. Ground size is perfect for drip. Lovely smooth cup of coffee is the result.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starbucks veranda blend coffee is out of this world. I am really enjoying the unique flavors and the smoothness of it. It seems like a very basic coffee that anyone can enjoy but just because it’s basic doesn’t mean it’s not amazing!! #freesample
