I’m a Starbucksaholic.

Yes, that is a thing. And no, I didn’t just make that up. I personally know quite a few members, my mom included.

What exactly is a Starbucksaholic? Well, let me tell you. We are Starbucks lovers. And by lovers, I mean we go to Starbucks everyday, sometimes even two times a day, but never more than four times a day (we do have standards, after all). Baristas seem to know our names, life stories, and our orders.  We our gold card members (I’m almost at that level!), have the Starbucks app on our phones, and can spot a Starbucks two miles away (our coffee senses start to tingle). We also solve most of our problems (bad moods, headaches, breakups, ect.) by ordering a venti of our favorite drink and sitting with a fellow Starbucksaholic outside the store.

If you’re a coffee lover, I’m sure you understand, and I recognize that you may in fact be a Peetsaholic or if you’re from back East, a Dunkindonutsaholic, but either way we’re in the same boat, the ‘we-love-coffee-and-we-know-it’ boat. If you don’t love coffee, that’s okay, you can still come on our boat, judge free. I promise. We’ll serve you tea or hot chocolate.

Starbucksaholic also tend to have favorite drinks. Mine, in particular, is a Dirty Chai with soymilk.

If you haven’t tried a Dirty Chai with soy, I suggest you jump in the car and drive to the closest Starbucks immediately. This drink will blow your mind. It is the perfect combination of chai spices, subtle coffee flavoring (in case you didn’t know, dirty means one shot of espresso), and vanilla from the soymilk. Whether it’s hot, iced, or blended (yes, they do Dirty Chai Frapps) you can’t go wrong. I also like to add a bit of cinnamon to the top of my drink, which seems to add the perfect final hint of spice to the drink. Even non-coffee lovers seem to like this.  And that’s saying a lot.

Anyways, I figured I should be able to drink my Dirty Chai and eat it too.

Hello, beautiful Dirty Chai Bites.

Coffee and non-coffee lovers alike can unite over this dessert. These bites, in two words, are deliciously addicting. The bite itself has a soft and moist donut base that is infused with both subtle chai spice and a hint of coffee. The outside of the bite is dunked into a coffee glaze, which balances the sweetness from the sugar and the strong flavor of coffee perfectly. The top of the Dirty Chai Bite is sprinkled with cinnamon, and just as it does with the drink, it adds the perfect hint of spice.

Fair warning, once you start eating these bites, you won’t be able to stop, especially since they’re mini and you convince yourself one, or maybe four more, won’t hurt.
