They are one form or another of a caffe frappuccino. A blended drink  
of ice, coffee, whipped cream and a choice of of caramel, or vanilla,  
or cinnamon etc.  Here are some variation

Coffee (as a flavor) - Basic version of the blended ingredients with  
no added flavorings

Espresso - Coffee Frappuccino with one added shot of Espresso, which  
provides a stronger coffee taste (the amount of Frappuccino base is  
lessened to make room for the shot) as well as more caffeine. Served  
without whipped cream.

Caramel - Blended coffee base, caramel syrup, and ice. With Whipped  
Cream + Caramel Drizzle.

"Syrup" Frappuccino Light - Blended coffee base, any syrup, and ice.  
Without any toppings. Sugar-free must be requested, as normal syrup is  
used by standard.

Mocha - Blended coffee base, mocha sauce, blended with ice. With  
Whipped Cream.

White Chocolate Mocha - Blended coffee base, white chocolate syrup,  
and ice. With Whipped Cream.

Java Chip - Coffee base, brownie chips and mocha sauce blended with  
ice. With Whipped Cream + Mocha Drizzle.

Whipped Cream.
