Since its discovery during the 1970s in Seattle, Washington, Starbucks has become one of the world's biggest and most popular cafés. Originally starting off as a coffee bean roaster and retailer, Starbucks has diversified it's menu with various specialty drinks, sandwiches, and baked goods. However, what a lot of people don't know is that Starbucks also has an additional "secret" menu filled with unique and tasty drinks.
