A Brit and an American swap countries to try each other's Starbucks.

In the U.S., hot coffees come in four sizes.

You can get a short coffee, which is 8 fluid ounces.

You have a tall coffee, which is 12 ounces.

And a venti hot coffee in the U.S. is 20 ounces.

And in the U.K., you can get hot coffees in these sizes.

Starbucks also offers its coffees in ice versions.

Grande, I've been informed there was some spillage with Deliveroo.

You can get a short version, but it's not officially listed on the menu.

In the U.S., you can get ice coffees in four sizes.

We start with the tall, which is 12 ounces.

So you're no longer going by the Italian.

And then we have this, which is the Trenta coffee.

Now, if we're comparing classics, I really had to try the American version of an English breakfast tea.

I need to see if you guys are doing it justice over here or if there are any notes that I can offer for you.

I think they might have like frothed the milk, which is not something that Brits do for breakfast tea.

I'm going to take the bag out of this because it's already been sat there for too long.

Sometimes you shouldn't even put the milk in before the tea bag is taken out of it.

I was fearing worse, slightly on the milky side.

I think my main notes here would just be don't froth the milk and be quite sparing with how much milk you're putting into it.

Not the worst version of an English breakfast tea I've had by a long shot.

Here's a UK English breakfast tea with milk.

Now, we want to see how this compares to the US version.

To be honest, I've never had an English breakfast tea at Starbucks.

I'm not quite sure I've had an English breakfast tea ever.

There's actually a lot of differences between the food menus in both countries, but there still is some overlap.

You'll, of course, find cake pops in both countries.

Here's the US version of the iconic Starbucks cake pop.

I think actually that might be slightly better than a UK cake pop.

In the US and the UK, Starbucks sells sous vide egg bites.

Each country has slightly different flavors.

I'll start with these ones, which I think are the classic.

These are the bacon and gruyere egg bites.

I don't know if I've ever had a Starbucks egg bite before, so I'm kind of intrigued.

You definitely get some gruyere cheesiness from that.

Not sure if this is the best delivery method for eggs, but...

And the other version we got today are these kale and mushroom egg bites.

I think I might actually slightly prefer these to the meek version, which for me, kind of unusual.

I will say right off the bat, they do not come in a box in the US.

Your guys' egg bites come with the understanding that when you get to your destination or when they get to you, you cook them, or you microwave them.

These don't taste like our egg bites at all.

It tastes like microwavable eggs, actually.

On the US Starbucks menu, you can also find a crispy grilled cheese on sourdough.

So the issue with bagging sandwiches like this is that they lose crispiness pretty fast because they're kind of steaming in the bag.

As far as just a standard grilled cheese goes, yeah, actually pretty good.

Over here in the UK, they call it a five cheese toasty.

Oh, is there cheese baked on top of this?

I'm getting like a hint of mustard on this.

I like mustard, but I taste the mustard more than the cheese.
