Nowadays, frappes and Frappuccinos are often used interchangeably to describe blended, iced and foamy coffee drinks. However, despite many similarities, frappes and Frappuccinos are subtly different drinks. First, the most important distinction is that Frappuccinos are trademarked by Starbucks and are sold exclusively by them. This technically means that you can only get Frappuccinos from Starbucks. Frappes on the other hand are not trademarked and can be commonly found in many cafes and restaurants.
