Why is it that most coffee shops have skim, whole, and half and half? Why don't they put out heavy cream?

Any place that provides whipped cream from a CO2 can has it, you just have to ask for it. If you're lucky they won't charge you. All of the Starbucks I've been to haven't, but they're confused unless I specifically state "I'd like a __ __ with cold heavy whipping cream." At a smaller, mom & pop type coffee shop, your mileage may vary. |

Most places have heavy cream upon request. I only know of one local shop in my area (North TX) that doesn't carry it at all. |

Most of them have it, just behind the counter, so you have to ask for it. I assume because it's not used very often and a lot would go to waste if they put it out in carafes. |

"Un-whipped whipping cream" is the term that works for me. |

I always have to ask at Starbucks, where they refer to it as "heavy whipping cream". Just make sure they understand the difference between "whipping" and "whipped". The smaller shops don't seem to stock it due to low demand. If you're at a restaurant, you can ask for "manufacturing cream". It's the same thing as heavy cream. Chefs in the kitchen use it to make cream sauces. The downside to having heavy cream when going out is it's the "ultra-pasteurized with carageenan" variety. If you have no issues with carageenan, then go for it! |

Yes, it's expensive and perceived to be unhealthy. On the road I get my coffee from convenience stores (Wawa and 7-eleven) and the only way you can get heavy cream is to purchase it--and their's is awful. I always carry my own in the car in a cooler bag. Trader Joe's has the cheapest and best tasting IMO--with no added garbage. |

I think it is because it is more expensive than half + half or milk. Plus, with the fat-phobia nowadays, not many people would use heavy cream. |

Freedom of espresso in the syracuse, NY area has the heavy whipping cream stuff, and is quite willing to make me a latte with it. Happy days! |

Philz Coffee in northern CA is awesome. Turkish style, so always with cream (and sugar, but none of that for me). I think it's double cream, even. Awesome. |

Because when I ask for heavy whipping cream, and then ask to see the carton, and the see carageenan on the label, and then shake my head, hand it back to them and say "Awww nevermind..." They kinda get miffed. |

It's expensive, period. It's also not particularly appetizing to most in coffee without some sort of "whipping" involved. I know I prefer half and half or light cream as heavy cream makes an oil slick atop plain coffee. There's a reason half and half and/or light cream used to be called "coffee cream" for a very long time prior to any fat phobia. |

Starbucks contains 1) Half & Half "breve" 2) Heavy whipping cream and 3) Whipped cream in the canisters. My only advice is to stay away from the whipped cream because they add a lot of their vanilla to it- lots of sugar. |

Don't know about U.S. but here in Europe one standard item is Wienna caffe, which is basically caffe with whipped heavy whipping cream. But sometimes there is some sugar in the cream, although not much. |

When I go to my local Starbucks they remember me and automatically make my drink with heavy cream. So good with the Clover brewed coffees. |
