Out of Starbucks 76 locations worldwide, there are a ton of unique menu items inspired by local cuisines and tastes that you can't get in the US.

For local menus, Starbucks often makes drinks and foods that are popular in the respective countries, but it also puts its own spin on different national favorites.

Here are some of our favorites:

Caramel Macchiato Mooncakes

Mooncakes are an iconic Asian baked good that are normally eaten around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now, Starbucks locations in Asian countries like Malaysia offer the ubiquitous snack too. While Starbucks offers classic mooncake flavors like sweet adzuki bean and lotus, it also put its own spin on the traditional dessert, with a chocolate hazelnut praline mooncake stuffed with a hazelnut lava filling and a caramel macchiato mooncake with a caramel center.

Yo Yo cookie

The classic Australian baked good was popularized by the Country Woman's Association, an Australian women's group, and are made by sandwiching a creamy vanilla filling between two shortbread cookies, according to the Australian food blog Bake Play Smile.

Iced Espresso Matcha Fusion

In Indonesia, you can get a matcha espresso drink that fuses the flavors of green tea and coffee. Though it might sound like a strange combination, the light matcha flavor complements the coffee, and milk and sugar help to offset the bitterness, according to the Delicious Not Gorgeous food blog. The drink is also found in different forms in other countries, with some locations offering a matcha americano drink.

German Chocolate Torte
