When you worked at the coffee shop, did you find any drink that was semi-tolerable? I would start from there and make adjustments to find something you like - flavor, sweetener, etc.

@sunshineandsushi: We're big coffee fans here, but D really loves the Starbucks Frappacino drinks...the ones that come in bottles?

@sunshineandsushi: I would start with lighter coffees then. I don't know if calories are a concern for you but I know that I prefer lower-cal drinks even though the other ones are so good! You could try a flavored latte with skim milk or a coffee with flavoring syrup added (both Starbucks and Dunkins do it).

Do you like sweet drinks? If so, I'd recommend a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks.

Or what about vanilla lattes?

Salted caramel mocha or a vanilla latte with cinnamon on top from starbucks.

@yellowbird: I second the salted caramel mocha, you can barely taste the coffee.

Peppermint mocha!

if you like chai tea, you can always get a chai tea latte!

I don't like coffee either (and I was also a barista in college!). I can tolerate a skinny iced mocha, with about a quarter to a half shot of espresso.

@MrsMcD: me too! I think chais have plenty of caffeine. I always feel a little jittery if I have a venti.
I've had the peppermint mocha from starbucks and that I can tolerate. I really wish I liked coffee!
