Every time we turn around it seems like there’s another drink being added to the Starbucks “secret menu” (because there basically is). A secret menu is one that has items customers can order but that aren’t on the official menu and aren’t always available at every location. The hidden items are exciting because 1. Sometimes the same old, same old -no matter how delicious – gets a little boring and 2. You’re kinda in a secret club by being in-the-know, you know?
So we found this website that gives an overview of over a dozen different restaurants’ menus. Here’s a few of our favorites:
