Starbucks
- Starbucks has locations in 76 countries, many with their menu items that aren't available in the US.
- The most envy-inducing items include honey rose coffee, chocolate mooncakes, and Oreo-crusted tiramisu.
Out of Starbucks 76 locations worldwide, there are a ton of unique menu items inspired by local cuisines and tastes that you can't get in the US.
For local menus, Starbucks often makes drinks and foods that are popular in the respective countries, but it also puts its own spin on different national favorites.
Here are some of our favorites:
Caramel Macchiato Mooncakes

Mooncakes are an iconic Asian baked good that are normally eaten around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now, Starbucks locations in Asian countries like Malaysia offer the ubiquitous snack too. While Starbucks offers classic mooncake flavors like sweet adzuki bean and lotus, it also put its own spin on the traditional dessert, with a chocolate hazelnut praline mooncake stuffed with a hazelnut lava filling and a caramel macchiato mooncake with a caramel center.
