Berlitz provide tips in English and Japanese, and get ready to savor your Starbucks experience around the world:
- Simple Coffee: In English, you'd say, "Can I get a tall drip coffee, black, please?" "トールのドリップコーヒーをブラックでください。" (Tōru no dorippu kōhī o burakku de kudasai.) 請給我一杯中杯冰咖啡，謝謝。
- Latte: For a grande latte with oat milk, express in English: "I'd like a grande latte with oat milk." "グランデのラテをオーツミルクでお願いします。" (Gurande no rate o ōtsu miruku de onegaishimasu.) 我想要一杯大杯拿鐵，牛奶改成燕麥奶，謝謝。
- Cappuccino: To order a venti cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso, say in English: "I'll have a venti cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso." The Japanese equivalent is "ベンティのカプチーノにエスプレッソショットを追加で。" (Benti no kapuchīno ni esupuresso shotto o tsuika de.) 我想要一杯特大杯的卡布奇諾，加一份濃縮，謝謝。
- Flavored Drink: For a tall caramel macchiato in English, ask: "Could I have a tall caramel macchiato?" "トールのキャラメルマキアートをください。" (Tōru no kyarameru makiāto o kudasai.) 請給我一杯中杯的焦糖瑪其朵，謝謝。
- Decaffeinated Option: If you prefer a grande decaf Americano, in English it's: "Can I have a grande decaf Americano?" I "グランデのデカフアメリカーノを一つください。" (Gurande no dekafu Amerikāno o hitotsu kudasai.) 請給我一杯大杯低咖啡因的美式，謝謝。
