Hallelujah! At long last Starbucks is putting ALMOND milk on its menu

These days avoiding dairy is easier and more popular than ever before.  But whether you're lactose intolerant or simply not mad about milk, it is super frustrating that one of the world’s most prominent coffee chains doesn’t do an almond-based alternative.

With the rise of nut milks – which are widely viewed as healthier and better tasting than soy – it seems like every decent coffee shop is offering almond milk lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos but, for whatever reason, until now Starbucks has stuck by soy.

To the cheers of the lactose intolerant everywhere, today Starbucks announced that this September almond milk will make its long-awaited debut on the coffee giant’s US menu.

The move comes after one of the most common suggestions on Starbucks’ customer request platform My Starbucks Idea was that almond milk should be made available.

Sadly Starbucks Ireland have yet to make a similar statement but since it’s coming to America, we’re hopeful the almond truck will be here soon.
