Starbucks Canada is expanding its summer-inspired menu by adding Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew with Cinnamon Almond foam to it’s line up. We’re definitely more fans of their coffee than their other beverages, so we had to give it a try.
These new beverages are intended as a lighter-tasting, subtly sweet option with coffee-forward notes. The non-dairy cold foam layer is made from flavourful ingredients like almond beverage, vanilla syrup, and cinnamon. Their regular cold foam has egg in it.
Cold foam is frothed cold instead of hot and blended until smooth, creating layers of creamy texture and flavour without the cream. Cinnamon Almond Foam is airier than other cold foam options and can also be modified with soy.
Cold Brew with Cinnamon Almond Foam Taste Test
Upon first sip, you can taste the cinnamon in the foam. The foam is very light and does dissipate quickly. There is a bit of sweetness from the vanilla syrup, but I wasn’t a fan of the almond beverage. That paired with the cold brew just didn’t jive as well with my personal taste preference.
It’s a great option for non-dairy drinkers, but not for me.
Other plant-based options at Starbucks
Here are some other plant-based options as well as non-dairy drinks they have on the menu.

Starbucks’ regular cold foam is just blended 2% milk or dairy of your choice and does not include egg. The only drink containing egg was the cloud macchiato with egg in the cloud powder.
The cold foam at Starbucks does NOT contain any egg as your article states-in the second paragraph.
Below are the ingredients listed from the official website.
