## Ask your agent

- What are the calories and sugar in a venti Caffe Latte at Starbucks?
- Can you tell me what allergens are in the Butter Croissant and what it's made of?
- I'm looking for a photo and description of the Pumpkin Spice Latte in a tall size.
- Give me the nutrition facts for a grande Caffe Latte, including protein and caffeine.
- What ingredients go into a trenta-sized drink from Starbucks, like the Caramel Macchiato, and does it contain dairy?
