Suntimes: Want a treat to go with your Starbucks coffee but can’t afford the 490 calories in a slice of iced lemon pound cake? The coffee chain this week added a “petites” line of bakery treats for under 200 calories and priced $1.50.
The tiny lemon squares, caramel squares, cake pops (bites of cake on sticks, like lollipops), mini cupcakes and whoopie pies are among items the Seattle-based coffee shop chain is adding in as part of its 40th anniversary revamp. It also debuted a new logo.
Other new products include a cocoa cappuccino and a special four-bean coffee blend.
The sweet petites line plays to the snacking trend on which fast-food companies are capitalizing. The treats will hit most store bakery cases starting at 11 a.m. and will be offered while supplies last.
