Origin stories

The Frappuccino, the inspiration for our Mocha Frappuccino, was born out of a request for a chilly coffee drink at a Boston-based coffee shop called "The Coffee Connection" in the early 1990s. It wasn't until Starbucks acquired "The Coffee Connection" in 1994 that the Frappuccino became a global sensation. The name "Frappuccino" is a blend of "frappe", the New England name for a thick milkshake with ice cream, and "cappuccino", an espresso coffee served with frothed milk. As for the Mocha Frappuccino, it's essentially a Frappuccino with a delicious twist of chocolate, offering coffee lovers a sweet, icy treat.
