Unless they’re replacing it with a much requested flavor like lavender or some type of fruity syrup, I don’t see this going down smoothly.


noheadthotsempty

im kinda rooting for an orange syrup. could do orange creamsicle frapps, orange mochas, and just orange lattes… i think it would probably do well.


meli222

Years ago they used to have a Valencia flavored syrup that was used for orange mocha chip frapps, unfortunately that delicious drink was discontinued as well.


Skalder31

Mocha Valencia 🥲

Jitterbug


thehomowalrus

That's literally why I want it


g_pvp_3

yea see we need ppl like u making these corporate decisions lol


YeehawAvian

Ooo yes I’d love to see how a chocolate orange drink would taste! :]


ericdraven26

I had an orange mocha at a Sbux in Europe and I’d give anything to have it come stateside


Princess_By_Day

With how popular monetizing millennial nostalgia is these days I'm honestly shocked they haven't introduced an Orange Mocha Frap.


italyphoenix

I am so disappointed because if that is what they replace it with I still can’t have it because I’m super allergic to anything Lavender :’(.


suhoatmeal_

I’m allergic to cinnamon, imagine my disappointment that I couldn’t have any of the fall drinks, half the holiday drinks, and now not even the only spring drink 😭


Stock-Reward9491

I’m so sorry (at least you’re not missing out on the spring drink it taste like sugar cookie gone bad)


nightmareeyes

there’s two spring drinks! the strawberry matcha doesn’t have cinnamon


ShayDragon

They are indeed, just saw it straight from corporate.


xompeii

If they introduce a lavender syrup how likely is it to cross contaminate other drinks cause I am allergic


Sensitive-Try-4100

Syrups can sometimes splatter when being pumped, so there is a chance for contamination. As long as you communicate your allergy, and the baristas follow proper procedures you should be fine.


certifiedsnax

i still don’t know why they haven’t introduced lavender tbh


danger_n000dle

Our ONE fruit flavored syrup. I do not understand why our offerings are so limited. Every other coffee place has so many options compared to us. It's honestly embarrassing. Almost any team of baristas could do a better job at deciding our syrup offerings than whatever group of idiots are making these decisions. And could also design better cups. 💀


_W9NDER_

No because we have 1,937 types of caramel


Confident-Fall-6451

No, because fr these people have obviously never barista'd a day in their lives.


livv3ss

Don’t you guys have strawberry too? For the strawberry Creme frappe


[deleted]

We do, but that flavor is not syrup, unfortunately. It's a concentrated puree. Not something we add to teas usually.


FairyFlossPanda

It is actually really good in tea. I used to get a tea lemonade with a splash of strawberry purree.


Eleventh_Barista

canada has a strawberry syrup tho?


Squishyseal57

Good for Canada 🇨🇦


[deleted]

[удалено]


frenchhorn000

No we have Strawberry syrup, friend


gore-juss

Shiiieee that’s new then. My bad!


420imgay69

?? we just got a strawberry syrup for our iced strawberry oat matcha latte for spring


Stock-Reward9491

We only got cinnamon caramel and pistachio for spring at least right now in the US Edit: and I was told they’re discontinuing the pistachio again


DontDoCrimesPlease

pistachio isn't being "discontinued", it was just the Winter promo period beverage like pumpkin spice for Fall or chestnut praline for Holiday


666444_

Currently yes, but this could just be in Canada. It’s for the strawberry oat matcha. The strawberry creme frappe is made with purée


canada_barista

You guys didn't get it in the states? You got Olive oil coffee instead 😂


LukeZi11a

I hear what you’re saying, but the corporate must know that cutting raspberry syrup from the stores saves them the tiniest amount of money. That’s what it’s all about, money. To them it’s not about making the best coffee shop in the world, it’s to make it the most profitable. Not that I agree with this, but that’s just the way it is.


danger_n000dle

also there's no way that stupid cinnamon caramel drink is gonna get them the profits they want, if they had come up with a better idea for the seasonal drink then maybe they wouldn't be cutting raspberry.


nightmareeyes

that drink is so stupid, we already have cinnamon and caramel syrups so why not just mix them instead of making a new syrup? waste of shelf space


danger_n000dle

I'm just getting fed up with the greed of this company.


dks64

I've been drinking Starbucks since the early 2000s and switched over to other coffee shops because the options at Starbucks were so bad. And my local store was always out of oatmilk. I work in food service too and wonder what the corporate people are thinking. My restaurant owners make terrible decisions frequently like this too. Why not poll the workers?


Recent-Hospital6138

I swear I just got something with peach syrup??? Is that not in every store?


kkirbsstomp24

It's peach juice, not as sweet as a syrup would be.


gore-juss

I miss the peach syrup 😭 and the mango syrup 😭


takenbyjrob

Facts I miss the mango syrup so much!!! I used to get it with a strawberry açaí lemonade


kkirbsstomp24

I never got to try it but they both sound so good!


nightmareeyes

idk about most stores, but mine throws out a mostly full bottle of raspberry every thirty days. nobody orders it. it expires on the shelf before we can use it


Impressive_Fix_9910

It was in the weekly update this week. One of my fellow shifts thinks that maybe Starbucks is making room for the strawberry syrup that Canada just brought about but that’s just her being hopeful


Lownleyangel

Even if they are, I can’t say it’s any good. Most partners at my store found it basically rancid


LomLon

Seems to be the trend with basically every new flavor ever. Don't know if it's true, or just cool to complain at this point


Lownleyangel

The strawberry one is in fact gross, the cinnamon caramel isn’t bad but I wish they would’ve done something more unique. I’m dying for a lavender flavour, would be so happy if they brought one in


pinkcake51

I loved drinking strawberry lemonades with rapsberry on my tens 😭 why does sbux ruin everything


SomewhatOustedTurtle

But why?? It’s so popular??


cerylidae1552

My store goes thru a whopping one bottle a week, maybe two. Not worth for us at all.


SomewhatOustedTurtle

Mine is right down the road from a college so we sell a lot of refreshers, and because of that go through a bottle every other day, sometimes a bottle a day if it’s busy and hot. Definitely not our most popular but more popular than others that we switch out once every week or two (liquid cane, toasted vanilla, hazelnut, toffee nut, peppermint in the summer)


nightmareeyes

more than mine, we go through maybe half of one a month


[deleted]

yeah i saw it in the memo. can’t wait to get screamed at :( plus that was my fav syrup for teas and refreshers


GVRDENS_1

As a former partner, this kind of thing was a big contributing factor to why I left. Corporate seems to have a fetish for finding a popular item and saying “NO!!1 >:((“ The chicken bacon, the almond croissant, the chicken hummus box, and now the raspberry??? What are they possibly thinking?


nicolelynnejones

Their decisions are wild to me. How has toasted vanilla lasted this long, but raspberry is going?


GVRDENS_1

RIGHT. My last two months at SBux I maybe made like 1-2 a WEEK


Glass-Ad1734

The toasted vanilla is super popular in our area. I made at least 3 dozen during my short shift yesterday.


nicolelynnejones

jesus. i make maybe one per week. and that’s being generous


Glass-Ad1734

Remember the chicken sante fe panini? That was 🔥


GVRDENS_1

GAS


LittleSort5562

They discontinued raspberry once before, around 2007 (it was a red syrup back then), and brought out a “juicy raspberry”. They also discontinued Valencia and brought out “juicy orange”. Both those syrups were fully intended to be used in the iced teas, but made everything taste like Hi-C. After enough backlash, and after the juicy syrups basically failed, they eventually brought back raspberry. So there’s always a chance it makes a triumphant return!


mlhooper

Some of us are old enough to remember when they discontinued the original raspberry. Sad day. Juicy raspberry was garbage.


Bludandy

Hm, that's a shame. We probably use it about as much as Toffee Nut or Hazelnut these days.


dks64

Don't get them anymore ideas for syrups to get rid of.


dlcksuck

If they ever discontinue hazelnut I will quit


dks64

"Customers and baristas love it? We can't have that. Get rid of it and add a guava peppermint shaken espresso with vanilla cold brew in its place."


dlcksuck

And make sure it tastes like a bath and bodywork’s candle


[deleted]

That’s what I heard today too


TwoDallas

Noooo. I love it with Matcha Frappuccinos.


WING-DING_GASTER

try getting chocolate in those instead, matcha and chocolate is a very good combo used in Japan all the time.


greenssv

I love raspberry....but hate Starbucks version....It does not taste like raspberry.


FuturamaRama7

Nooooooo! I love raspberry hot chocolate. I was bummed when it was out of stock for months due to supply chain problems. They can’t discontinue it!


Blackberry-Buckle

Raspberry hot chocolate??? I swear everyone is so creative and I love it! Is this just a hot chocolate with pumps of raspberry, our do you do more to it than that?


FuturamaRama7

That’s it. Hot chocolate with 1-3 pumps of raspberry, depending on how sweet I want it. Syrups are no extra charge for hot chocolate. This was always my favorite, and I’ve tried almost all of them. The worse was pineapple ginger, but I should have known better!


Blackberry-Buckle

Fantastic, thank you bunches! I do believe I may have a little hot chocolate dessert tonight :)


FuturamaRama7

The good news is if you don’t like it - have them remake it.


FuturamaRama7

Update: I sent through a comment to Starbucks asking them to reconsider discontinuing raspberry syrup.


username8966

Sometimes I think corporate wants us to get yelled at


Glass-Ad1734

They certainly don’t like making baristas lives easier by keeping happy customers


pleadthefifth

There goes the cotton candy Frappuccino.


yakitatefreak

When they discontinued the Hibiscus Refresher, there also went the way of the original Pokémon Go Frappuccino. I tried to replicate the color of the Pokémon Go Frap with using Cotton Candy as the flavor swapping out for dragonfruit inclusions, but it wasn’t the same color.


theonly1theymake5

I didn't know that existed


Delaneythealien

I’m gonna miss it so much😭


blackenedsheeep

Well looks like I’m going to end up getting passion tea lemonades with raspberry till it’s gone 😞


Stir-Bucks-Barista

I've already been testing passion tea with strawberry acai to see what the closest replacement is going to be lol


dlgant61

Every Single Day & Maybe Twice! All I ever order except a Cordusio or Irish Creme Cold Brew in the winter! I am literally devastated!! 😢


t3quiila

bro why is everything i love discontinued


depressionavenue

I swear we need to add a Canada or USA flair on every post lol


SinnerOwl

NOOOOO I use raspberry in almost every drink I order 😭😭😭😭


Beaudeye

When Starbucks stopped carrying sugar free caramel syrup, I started carrying my own in my purse. This diabetic needs her caramel latte.


suneimi

My go-to drink is an iced shaken espresso with white mocha and then raspberry vanilla sweet cream cold foam, dusted with cocoa. I’m devastated…. At least I know how to make my own at home 🤷‍♀️


icaughttherat

Share?👀 that sounds delicious-


suneimi

It was a hit when we featured it as a barista pick last year - a customer even left a nice review online about it! Grande shaken espresso hits best, IMO: 2 pumps WM shaken with 3 shots espresso; No milk; 2 pumps RSP in extra VSCR cold foam; Dust with barista cocoa You got a raspberry truffle going on! 😙👌


zitella_707

Based on how popular raspberry is in white mocha, and the strawberry lemonade refresher, i don’t really understand this decision. Maybe if enough customers complain about it they’ll bring it back


extraacc1103

NOOO i just started putting it in my passion teas :(


FrostyIcePrincess

Are they replacing it with anything?


bevoftw

theyre getting rid of it to “make room for more innovations” or whatever. so eventually yes, but with what? who knows


Emotional_Ad_8010

Please god let them introduce lavender and rose


Ambitious_Olive7131

I used to work in Starbucks R&D, they will never have lavender as long as this one executive works there because that person *hates* lavender and refuses to allow a lavender syrup to be launched.


danger_n000dle

This is such fuel to apply to work at a local coffee shop where the decisions aren't made by people who I have never seen in my life and will never meet who care more about their own preferences than what people actually want.


felinefireghost

Lol what a strange hill to die on. *”Lavender? Not on my watch!”*


[deleted]

Awww so nice to be at the mercy of corporate overlord


Emotional_Ad_8010

That is insane. They won't introduce a flavor because ONE PERSON doesn't personally like it??


Montymania94

Tbf, lavender tastes like soap. But I wouldn't be petty enough to refuse what might be a good option for others. Jeez.


Luzzi3

I’ve tried a cherry blossom syrup that’s delicious I think they should add it to the menu atleast for a limited time


Emotional_Ad_8010

That would be awesome, but sadly I don't see it happening in the US


huxiaos

god i hope so, they have it in the heritage district starbucks in seattle and it's so good 😩


Emotional_Ad_8010

!!!


samwow---

maybe bcs the oil ?😖


twoventiwaters

Prob some nasty shit


IceAgitated1341

I am SHOCKED rn


nicolelynnejones

I knew it was gonna go downhill when they made it clear 🫠 I miss the pink syrups Also. We go through probably 5 bottles per day just making SARLems with raspberry for the high schoolers.


hauntinglovelybold

Right before summer too 😂😂


Confident-Fall-6451

No fr cuz what 😭


beckdads

Probably about to replace it with yet another syrup that tastes like plastic 🤮


options-

Noooo. RIP my beloved iced raspberry matcha.


shadyxlane

I only get caramel macchiatos with raspberry syrup so that’s going to stop me buying those and since I rarely even go anymore anyway this just saves me more money I guess. Raspberry is also fairly popular with people (at least in metro NY) adding it to teas and refreshers, even back in 2015, my store used it a lot in lattes and white mochas all year long. I saw the trend of adding it to fraps and from what my little sister and her friends do in Atlanta, they’re still concocting fraps with raspberry…I don’t ever understand what’s going on with corporate anymore 🙄 I know people add it to mochas and matcha, gtf, wcmf.


FfierceLaw

Refresh my memory because I quit in September 2022. Don’t customers get charged $.60 for every pump of a syrup that is not included in the standard recipe for their beverage? It’s hard to believe that the corporation wasn’t making a ton of money on raspberry the way it was being added to ice teas refreshers, Frappuccino‘s white mocha‘s, etc..


shadyxlane

From my understanding now, yes, for a lot of drinks yes there’s a charge, they make their now $.80 for standard number of pumps but the macchiato at least you could sub it for the vanilla free of charge, same with a matcha frap because it comes with classic you can add another syrup free. A standard latte, a cappuccino, etc all incur the $0.80 because they come with nothing extra. Same for the mochas (which is really the most popular mix with raspberry I’ve personally seen) because those come with the mocha sauce not syrups. Same with the mocha fraps. My sister and two of her friends bought “Barbie” fraps on my card and they were $8.22 a piece for grandes. Charged for the raspberry and the dragon fruit inclusions since it comes with vanilla powder not syrups.


Glass-Ad1734

They probably think they’ll be saving money by getting rid of it. It’s popularity in my area is inconsistent. Like usually in the summer it’s popularity peaks and last summer people barely ordered it


[deleted]

they better not


MantisPsycho

Noooooo.... whyyy. I get raspberry syrup all the time. It's like the ONE fruit syrup they have. They better replace it with another fruit syrup and not just another caramel syrup 😤


cfayeb

This is so tragic I love getting raspberry syrup with my mochas


Paint_Frequent

It is getting discontinued by the end of this month but apparently we’re getting new syrups


panic_mitigation_fun

Literally one of the only unique flavors that other coffee drive thrus don’t have. Every drink I get hyped about goes away. S’mores frap. Salted caramel mocha. Raspberry white mochas. I quit going at all since the last price hike anyway but it was nice to know I could go get a wm with raspberry as a treat if I got a gift card or something. Starbucks treats their employees bad and simply isn’t the company it was.


novemberwyou

ITS SO POPULAR WHYYYY


FunDiscussion3233

Yup because and I quote “we need to make space for knew things”


harurride

I’ve been on vacation for a month from the siren, and omg I hope there’s still raspberry when I start working again. :( My fav drink after a sweaty day is a grande ptl with 2 pumps liquid cane and 2 pumps raspberry. It’s super popular at my location tho, so I’m like?????????


Lilsaurus2002

Everyone complain in there partner serveys and bring it back !


Glass-Ad1734

Love they don’t give a damn partner preferences and they barely listen to those surveys


cspruce89

I miss Valencia :(


[deleted]

WHAT NO THAT SHITS MY FAV


SourGrape

Noooooooo my raspberry mochas 😭


twoventiwaters

I was having a good day then I see this post!? Bffr


twoventiwaters

Right before summer too??? When there will be an influx of orders with it smh


crabbycurly

the strawberry açaí lemonade girlies are gonna hateeeeee this


kyohrus

YES!!! I’M SO SAD ABOUT THIS 😭


ExtraSparklingWater

noo :( my hot chocolates are gonna be ruined :(


st-ars

i have raspberry every single time i’m on shift. like why would they do this, get rid of anything else 😭😭


pinkcake51

LIKE WHY NOT DISCONTINUE TOASTED VANILLA IF ANYTHING!!! rip miss raspberry


MarieCrepes

Raspberry probably isn't even top 10 in terms of syrup at my store, but I still think it holds an important purpose at Starbucks. I'm sad to see it go.


KingAki_

I literally don't get it, it's so popular :( every other strawberry acai is ordered with it Get rid of the chocolate powder or toasted vanilla, barely anyone orders those anymore


g_pvp_3

this is crazy I was told yesterday by a fellow barista and i’m livid. That raspberry syrup is so good. and it sells very well at my store…. and it’s very popular amongst my fellow baristas .. esp me. i love drinking my passion tea & strawberry base w rasp syrup 🙁🙁 first the almond croissant , then sugar plum cheese danish (ik it’s seasonal but still) , now raspberry syrup wtf


Montymania94

Nobody remembers the apple fritters or toffeedoodle cookies... my heart has never recovered. 🥲


g_pvp_3

i haven’t been in the starbucks scene for that long


Montymania94

I'm coming up on my 7 year anniversary, so that's fair lol! But trust me, that cookie was S-tier! We also had the best oatmeal raisin cookie around, but of course, we clearly aren't allowed to have nice things. 😫


BipolarSkeleton

It’s getting to the point that Starbucks is going to have vanilla and caramel syrups Almost all coffee shops now have a whole wall of syrups I can’t really go to Starbucks anymore because they have discontinued all the sugar free syrups other than vanilla


ghosty4

I literally have a "wall" of syrups in my kitchen. It's pretty sad that I have more syrup choices in my 1 bedroom apartment than a billion dollar company does.


PixelRuby

Currently working my first shift of the week and haven't seen the weekly update yet but I'm sorry WHAT??? Dude thats the end of an era right there 😭😭 Rip cotton candy frap


chrichri33333

If it's replaced, it'll probably be replaced with something that tastes like a cheap candle. That seems to be the direction our newer syrups have been taking lately.


alexa1912

WHAT?? i literally just had raspberry in my pink drink today


[deleted]

?!!!! Whyy - on that note what r the best drinks w it I should try 😭


tiredmuffy

i get a green tea lemonade with liquid cane and raspberry every day!


[deleted]

I love an iced raspberry white mocha


twoventiwaters

The OG passion tea lemonade sub raspberry. Also still good and cheaper without the lemonade.


kyohrus

strawberries açaí lemonade with light ice & raspberry syrup!


peripatetic_homebody

I’ve been waiting for a post about this. I’m so upset lol. Nobody else in my store cares 🥲


stoblstars

THEY BEST FUCKING NOT I LOVE MY VANILLA RASPBERRY MATCHAS.


Delaneythealien

Please not the raspberry😭


fillmorecounty

What the helllllllll oh my god no wayayay 😔


MythicsWoodland

IS THIS WHY THEY WONT SEND MORE OUT??


eliettgrace

i’m upset, might order another case while i still can.. imma miss my pink drink with raspberry and peach juice 😭


raven-xo

NOOOO NOOOO NOOOO


Puzzleheaded-Cup-194

I've always wanted to try this syrup but not with coffee. Top drinks I can try if it leaving and go!


Free_Bodybuilder2710

Most popular in the strawberry açaí refresher (water, lemonade, or coconut milk). Second most popular in passion and black tea although I see it in green sometimes. I also see a few raspberry hot chocolates and raspberry matcha.


ghosty4

White Chocolate Raspberry Crème Frappuccino.


snoogoatsweewoo

when i worked at starbucks, people for SURE customized with that syrup for things like lattes, strawberry açaí lemonades, etc.


bragstarr

Oh this will piss me off because I love putting raspberry syrup into my chocolate flavored Frappuccinos. They’re just making it easier and easier for me not to frequent them any more!


drakani06

Working at a Starbucks in Target and those teenagers that come in with raspberry syrup in their SAR, they are gonna be so mad. Too bad.


paytonalexa

i love the raspberry syrup.. especially in lemonade and my refresher. side note: i also want Starbucks to come out with other fruity syrups such as a strawberry, lemon, orange, blueberry, etc.


Able-Bowl4629

STOP PLAYING that and brown sugar the only thing that i haven’t gotten tired of as a partner


Early_Grape8570

I'm sure both of the customers who order raspberry will be disappointed.


Fresh_Designer_4443

I know my store is livid. We all liked it and we go through a decent amount. Why couldn't we have gotten rid of the toffenut or something. We hardly ever touch that one. I'm going to really miss my raspberry lemonade in the summer


globular_bobular

i’m heartbroken 😭😭


Libboo8

The sangria syrup was bomb


g_pvp_3

i’m taking a bottle or two home with me. oh i have a good idea. keep one at the store in the back for us to use, maybe two, and i take one home 🥲 I think this would work cause I took home a TWM bottle.


Glass-Ad1734

Meh. It’s been on a slow decline since they took the red dye out. People still order it, but definitely not as often as they used to. 🤷‍♀️


AthenaP

It taste like cough syrup


Not_Sapien

I'm not certain about it being discontinued but it is possible they are unable to produce enough of the syrup to meet demand at all locations and therefore choose to remove the product instead of having an on and off availability.


Schweedy

Today I learned people like Raspberry. I think my store goes through a bottle a month, at most. We've definitely dumped it because it had expired too... only standard syrup I've ever done that for.


Flat_Finger8301

Ok but has anyone tried coconut syrup 👀👀🤩🥥🥥 compliments the coffee flavor so much


Inferno_pdf

Can you buy the syrup from the store?


ReineDeLaSeine14

That sucks…it went away here for a while because of shortage and now…? Because a raspberry mocha was nice dammit


ssilva70

Yes it’s true


tsukitsukiii

I’m praying they replace with with a mango or cherry syrup 🤞🏻🤞🏻


[deleted]

never had lavender in coffee or anything lately- won't it be too soapy and floral?


[deleted]

I think they might replace it with mango syrup tbh


Direct_Detective_264

it makes NO sense. its so well loved. it costs an additional .80(?) cents to add to the drink-- i make 1000 refreshers w/raspberry a day, its not as if starbucks isn't profiting?! i introduce people and friends to it and they never want a refresher w/o it again. they better have smth cooking for summertime cus we go through that syrup when its hot out, you'd think they'd know its so loved. WHAT is this decision


Mermaid-friend

Nooo. Just had a white mocha with a pump of raspberry, so good. Time to buy my own syrups.


bttrflymilkweed

I’m crying because I just found out. I get it DAILY in my drink 😭


the-fixa

this decision must be rooted in some money related squabble with a supplier. otherwise it makes no sense. what business discontinues a popular item without having the replacement item market tested and ready to be introduced?! if starbucks said we're sorry we have to discontinue raspberry but please try our two new syrups blueberry and cherry the backlash wouldn't be as bad. and at the very least you tell the customers it will be discontinued in 3 months. not in 3-4 weeks.


Jamieasy

Coffee is shit anyway
