Coffee tastes great all the time, but especially when you're "worn to a frazzle" as my granny would say. Broad categories of worn-out frontline workers around the Treasure Valley can pick up free coffee every day through the end of the month.
The seasonal offerings are starting to explode across the Treasure Valley, and so are the secret menus. And it turns out, if you request an extra squirt of the right syrups at Starbucks, your frappe will taste like pumpkin cheesecake.
Rather than go to the trouble of roasting marshmallows and melting them on chocolate with graham crackers this summer, Starbucks will let us drink our S'mores. The summer menu looks rich, and fruity too.
