Starbucks Café Brûlée Frappuccino Review 2025: 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

Did you know it's been 30 years since the iconic Starbucks Frappuccino was first introduced?
To celebrate this milestone, Starbucks has launched a special edition drink — the Starbucks Café Brûlée Frappuccino.
This unique menu item was actually created specifically for the Korean market. It showcases Starbucks' commitment to local innovation.
So I gave it a try, and here's my honest take on the Starbucks Café Brûlée Frappuccino!
• Limited Edition: Starbucks Café Brûlée Frappuccino
• Price: $5.10 (Tall size)
• Flavor: Caramel with burnt sugar notes
• Perfect for: Summer afternoon pick-me-up
☕ First Impressions
When I first picked up the Starbucks Café Brûlée Frappuccino, the presentation caught my eye.
Topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup, it looked indulgent — like dessert in a cup.
At the bottom, a layer of caramel syrup adds extra richness. A beautiful blend of cream and coffee.
🍬 Flavor Review
The first sip hits with a toasty caramel flavor — just like the burnt sugar crust on a real crème brûlée.
Then comes the smooth, creamy coffee base. It's not overly sweet, which is perfect for summer.
The whipped cream + caramel combo enhances the dessert-like experience without overpowering the drink.
If you stir it a little, the balance between bitter coffee and sweet caramel becomes even better.
I ordered the Tall size ($5.10), and it was just right for an afternoon pick-me-up.
💡 Taste Tip
Try mixing the caramel at the bottom into the whole drink for a more rounded flavor.
And if you love creamy drinks with a slightly burnt sugar vibe, you'll enjoy this Starbucks Café Brûlée Frappuccino.
