Trader Joe’s gives Starbucks a run for its money with ‘on point’ coffee dupe – and it’s only $4

TRADER JOE’S is giving Starbucks a run for its money with a $4 coffee dupe.

Vanilla cold foam is the perfect summer treat for coffee lovers, but with it costing $1.25 to add it to your order, it’s far to pricey for many Americans.

Cold foam is a light airy topping made by frothing non-fat milk without heat, creating a creamy texture that sits on top of cold beverages like iced lattes and cold brew.

Other retailers such as International Delight and Target have mimicked the Starbucks classic, but it is the Trader Joe’s version that has got people talking.

Taking to Reddit, one coffee fan revealed that they had bought the $4 cream, and had used it to make their own Starbucks dupe at home.

You can make dozens of drinks with one bottle of the foam, making it much more cost-effective than the Starbucks foam.

Proudly sharing a snap of the drink, the Redditor said: “I tried International Delight’s and Target’s Vanilla cold foam and both were too sweet and too artificial in my opinion.

“I ended up trying those once and throwing it away.

“Happy to report Trader Joe’s one wasn’t artificial tasting (pretty on point with vanilla extract taste) and was surprisingly less runny than the other brands, which I love!

“Not as stiff as whipped cream, but also not as runny as the other foams.

“Tasting the foam itself only, I don’t get a super sweet taste either, so I think it’ll work nicely with already sweetened drinks.

“I personally like to use these on top of iced black coffee or espresso, and let the foam sweeten it.


“When mixed, it provided a subtle vanilla-sweetened flavor to the coffee, but not much creaminess, so I’d add creamer/milk separately if you like your coffee creamy.”

Reddit fans flooded the comments section of the post, to share their thoughts on the cream.

One person said: “It’s GOOD I got some today and tried it in HOT coffee and still was YUMMY.”

A second person said: “Can’t wait to try this one! I tried the Coffee Mate one when it first came out and it was absolutely disgusting I threw it out after one taste.

“The way you describe this one sounds more like what I’m looking for.”

A third person said: “Congrats! You just made me run to TJs and grab this! Lol.”
