Tall non-fat latte. If I drink real coffee, it's from the work coffee pot which is freshly ground medium roast we get from a fair-trade cafe a few doors up. That shit is so strong it gets me higher than a kite.
My normal order is a mocha frapp or a shaken passion iced tea lemonade. Since being pregnant I have changed to a decaf mocha frapp. I think the grosses thing at Starbucks is their hot chocolate it tastes so bitter.
I don't drink coffee but I do like Starbucks Frappuccino's, especially ones that have cookie crumbs in them.
Note that OP didn't say the order has to be a coffee order. I also like their food including crumb cakes, Panini's, and they used to have pretzels but I haven't seen them in a long time so I assume they don't carry them any more.
My go to is grande non fat mocha with half the chocolate or if I'm not in the mood for something hot I'll just get a grande iced blonde unsweetened and put my own creamer and cinnamon in. I also like a shaken unsweetened passion tea.
I don't do Starbucks unless there are no other options. Normally I go to Loose Caboose and I get a 20oz Bob Marley Frappuccino with 2 shots and Whip. So yummy!!!
Non Fat Vanilla Latte (hot) Passion Tea Lemonade in the summer
Since being pregnant, regardless of weather, I've been craving frapps. I'm also addicted to their turkey bacon and egg sandwich. Gosh, I could eat like three of those things!!

I dislike Starbucks. It always tastes burnt or bitter to me.
Dunkin Donuts or Bigby Coffee all day long over Starbucks. I usually just order a medium regular, then I add a splash of milk and a packet of raw sugar or Truvia/Stevia. At Bigby I get "Bigby's best" blend and it's delicious. If I buy my own coffee it would be a Colombian.
ETA: I don't drink coffee everyday and I haven't had a drop since getting pregnant. A lot of mornings I would rather have a hot tea than coffee, even pre-pregnancy. Green tea is my fav.

I come from a very coffee-loyal family (we live in western WA.and aunt works for Starbucks corp.). I hate coffee. However, when the kids and I get a special treat, its a raspberry hot cocoa for me, or green tea frapp, and a cake pop for each of them.
@jemomma I'm so jealous. Caribou left Ohio and thus no more occasional campfire mocha for me. That was my FAVORITE coffee chain. Comfy atmosphere, good coffee, good food. Stupid nasty Peet's coffee that took over and then ALSO moved out of Ohio. Come back Caribou!
During the fall, I LOVE Starbucks' Caramel Apple Spice. Other than that, I usually just order black tea. I am not a fan of Starbucks' coffee.
ETA: I am a Dunkin Donuts coffee freak. I usually get a medium coffee with a splash of skim milk. When I'm home-home (northeast) I definitely prefer Green Mountain Coffee Roasters hazelnut blend.

If I'm feeling like something hot to drink, it's either a chai tea latte or a hot chocolate from Starbucks. At Christmas, it's an eggnog chai tea latte. All the yumminess. Lol.
If I want something cool and refreshing, it's usually one of their refreshers. Either the berry or cool lime but easy on the ice. I feel like they put way too much ice in their venti size (and all others).
Hot beverages: - non-fat vanilla latte - half sweet, no whip caramel apple spice
Iced beverages (here's where we get douchey folks!): - light ice, half sweet, black tea lemonade (switched to green tea during most of pregnancy) - light ice, peach green tea lemonade (SO refreshing and recently discovered!)
and the winner of all winners... double grande, light ice, non fat, cali style, caramel macchiato.... *drools*
I had to give up caffeine prior to pregnancy and then restricted on it so its a treat for me, but these days even half a cup of coffee in particular makes my pulse race. So I usually just do tea. I haven't had Starbucks in a long time. But I used to love a pumpkin spice latte in the fall or an iced caramel macchiato in the summer. I live closer to a Bigby and am currently having a love affair with their iced chai tea latte. That's my current treat
Tall latte with extra foam, two lumps of sugar. I've not been drinking caffeine during pregnancy (a few people at work were very focal about how I shouldn't drink coffee... as soon as my doctor told me it was really ok, I'd detoxed and now it makes me all jittery ) so it's usually a decaf. A Chai Latte sounds amazing right now too...
Hot - Grande Americano, 2 pumps of vanilla or hazelnut depending on how I'm feeling, sometimes I'll go with a grande chai to shake things up. Cold - same as my hot, but just iced. I also really like the valencia orange refresher.
We have Collectivo near us, which is amazing and 10x better than Starbucks but there are only 3-4 stores in the area and I'd really have to drive out of my way to get to one.
