The 14 Moms You Meet at Starbucks

Whether stopping by Starbucks is a daily tradition or a special splurge, there's one thing you're guaranteed to see: moms. From the mama who is in desperate need of caffeine before hitting the office after being kept up all night to the ladies who are gossiping in the comfortable chairs — surrounded by strollers, of course — this popular coffee chain happens to be loved by both little ones (thanks to the cake pops!) and a wide range of diverse mothers. Keep reading to see the 14 different types of moms you're bound to run into during your next coffee run.

The Regular

It might feel like she's the town mayor (or at least the mayor of your local Starbucks) because not only do the baristas all know her down to exactly how much ice she likes in her soy, venti iced latte, but she is also always bumping into friends, book club members, and PTA gals.

The One With the Posse

This mom never goes anywhere without her posse, and that posse just happens to be her nanny and tot.

No matter what, this mom always looks impeccable — even if she was up all night with a sick little one and has no plans for the rest of the day.

The Caffeine Dependent

It doesn't matter whether it's a blizzard outside or Thanksgiving morning, you know this mom is going to stop by Starbucks for her daily fix. She always feels like a completely new person after even her first sip!

The Calorie Counter

The Complainer

The Complainer

No matter what she orders, this mom always has a complaint. Either her drink has too much ice, is cold (when she specifically ordered it hot!), or needs an extra pump, she's always the one asking the barista to remake her drink — while Instagramming yet another shot of her kiddo as she waits.

The Desperate Housewife

The Desperate Housewife

This is the mom who is just hanging out with her little one because she doesn't really have anything better to do. She might be new in town or just not a part of any of the mommy groups and is there for the coffee but sticks around in hopes of bumping into a potential friend.

The Working Mom

The Working Mom

This is the mom who has zero time for idle chitchat with the baristas. She has to make it to carpool and the office in time without spilling anything on her new blouse.
