I tried Starbucks' brand new dessert-inspired range - and I’m unsure on the flavour

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol plans to expand an aperitivo-style late-afternoon menu currently offered in its European stores.
Niccol aims to restore Starbucks as a place for socializing rather than just quick pickups amid the company's current challenges.
This effort follows a 2% US sales decline last quarter and includes ideas like baristas handwriting messages on cups.
Niccol expressed "rabid enthusiasm" for the brand's turnaround, while the European menu features items like toast with oil and tomato.
These changes suggest Starbucks intends to reestablish itself as a welcoming hangout, potentially reversing recent sales declines.
