Attention, Frappuccino Lovers: Starbucks Happy Hour Is Coming Back

Half-price drinks between 3-5 p.m. and a new Chocolate Cookie Crumble flavor? Yes!

When it's warm out, there's nothing better than strolling around with a frothy beverage. And with the recent string of outstanding weather Sussex has been having, this new and local deal is coming at the perfect time.

PHOTOS: Sussex Starbucks Gets a Makeover

Just in time for the summer weather, Starbucks gets new indoor and outdoor furniture and new decor to liven up Sussex's only coffee shop.

Have you been to the Sussex Starbucks lately? In the past week, Sussex's only coffee shop underwent a complete makeover. Everything from the indoor tables and chairs to the outdoor patio set has been replaced with new fixtures. The indoor furniture is made of "recycled urban wood," and the outdoor space now has a couch. Starbucks even got all new sun umbrellas for the patio, a much-needed improvement it was lacking on March's 90 degree days. So swing by and check out the new wall fixtures, display shelves and comfy chairs. Also, be sure to tell us what you think of the new decor in the comments.

Coffee Lovers Rejoice: Buy One, Get One at Starbucks

The coffee giant is offering two holiday drinks for the price of one from Thursday through Sunday.

Did you know that Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee each day? According to CoffeeStatistics.com, that’s the equivalent of 146 billion cups a year. Starbucks is making the holiday season a little brighter for all those coffee lovers with a special BOGO deal. From 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, Starbucks patrons will get a second free holiday beverage when they buy the first one. The BOGO deal is good on several holiday drinks, including the peppermint mocha in regular and “skinny” versions, caramel brulée latte, ginger bread latter and the company’s standing holiday tradition, the eggnog latte.
