|---|---|---|---|---|
| Espresso (doppio) | 10 | 0g | 2g | 1g |
| Caffè Americano | 15 | 0g | 2g | 1g |
| Caffè Latte (2% milk) | 190 | 7g | 19g | 13g |
| Cappuccino (2% milk) | 140 | 5g | 14g | 10g |
| Flat White (whole milk) | 220 | 11g | 17g | 12g |

| Vanilla Latte (2% milk) | 250 | 6g | 37g | 12g |
Frappuccinos — calories by drink (grande)
Frappuccinos are the most calorie-dense drinks on the Starbucks menu. All values are grande (16 fl oz) with whipped cream unless stated.
| Frappuccino | Calories | Sugar |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee Frappuccino (no whip) | 230 | 43g |
| Mocha Frappuccino (whip) | 400 | 55g |
| Caramel Frappuccino (whip) | 370 | 54g |

| Matcha Crème Frappuccino (whip) | 420 | 63g |
| Strawberry Crème Frappuccino (whip) | 370 | 56g |
Removing whipped cream from any Frappuccino saves approximately 70–80 kcal. Switching from whole milk to non-fat milk saves a further 20–30 kcal.
Cold brew and iced coffee — calories (grande)
| Drink | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cold Brew Coffee (unsweetened) | 5 | Lowest calorie option with caffeine |
| Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew | 200 | Cream adds most of the calories |
| Iced Coffee (unsweetened) | 30 | Classic splash of milk included |
| Iced Caffè Latte (2% milk) | 130 | Lower than hot latte — less milk volume |
| Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso | 220 | Popular order — oat milk base |
| Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso (no syrup) | 100 | Removing syrup cuts 120 kcal |
Teas and refreshers — calories (grande)
| Drink | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brewed Tea (unsweetened) | 0 | Zero calories — any variety |
| Matcha Latte (2% milk) | 240 | Matcha blend contains sugar |
| Chai Latte (2% milk) | 240 | Chai concentrate is sugar-heavy |
| Mango Dragonfruit Refresher | 90 | Water base — lower than lemonade |
| Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher | 140 | Lemonade adds ~50 kcal |
| London Fog Tea Latte (2% milk) | 200 | Earl Grey + vanilla syrup + milk |
Calories by size — how much each size adds
Using the Caffè Latte as a reference point:
| Size | Fl oz | Latte calories |
|---|---|---|
| Short | 8 fl oz | 100 |
| Tall | 12 fl oz | 150 |
| Grande | 16 fl oz | 190 |
| Venti | 20 fl oz | 250 |
Ordering tall instead of grande saves approximately 40 kcal on most espresso drinks — a small but consistent saving across multiple drinks per week. Use our BMR calculator to find your daily calorie baseline and see how your regular Starbucks order fits in.

Most Starbucks calories come from three sources: milk, syrup and whipped cream. Changing any one of these makes a meaningful difference:
| Swap | Calories saved |
|---|---|
| Remove whipped cream | 70–80 kcal |
| Switch from whole milk to non-fat (skim) milk | 30–40 kcal |
| Reduce syrup pumps from 4 to 1 (grande) | ~60 kcal |
| Switch to sugar-free syrup | ~80 kcal |
| Order tall instead of grande | ~40 kcal |
| Replace Frappuccino with iced latte | 200–250 kcal |
The single most effective swap is replacing a Frappuccino with an iced latte of the same flavour — a Caramel Frappuccino at 370 kcal versus an Iced Caramel Latte at approximately 180 kcal. Same flavour profile, roughly half the calories.
Starbucks calorie FAQ
Does Starbucks have a calorie calculator?
Starbucks does not have a standalone calorie calculator, but their full nutrition information is available on their website at starbucks.com/menu. You can also view calories in the Starbucks app before you order by selecting any drink and customising it — the app updates the calorie count live as you change milk type, syrup and add-ons. For tracking your order against your daily calorie target, use our TDEE calculator to find your personal daily budget.
How many calories are in a Starbucks latte?
A grande Caffè Latte made with 2% milk contains 190 calories. A tall contains 150 calories, a venti 250 calories. Switching to non-fat milk saves approximately 40 calories. Adding a flavour syrup (vanilla, hazelnut, caramel) adds approximately 20 kcal per pump — a standard grande drink has 4 pumps, adding 80 kcal.
What is the lowest calorie drink at Starbucks?
Unsweetened brewed tea and black coffee are zero or near-zero calories. Among espresso drinks, an Americano (15 kcal) or espresso shot (10 kcal) are the lowest options. Among cold drinks, an unsweetened cold brew at 5 kcal is the lowest calorie caffeinated option. If you want something with milk, a tall iced latte with non-fat milk (about 100 kcal) is one of the lighter choices.
How many calories are in a Starbucks Frappuccino?
A grande Frappuccino with whipped cream ranges from 230 kcal (Coffee Frappuccino, no whip) to 440 kcal (Java Chip Frappuccino, with whip). The Mocha and Caramel Frappuccinos are both around 370–400 kcal. Removing whipped cream saves 70–80 kcal from any Frappuccino. For the exact calorie count of a specific order, check starbucks.com/nutrition or snap it with Tou Calo for an instant reading.
How much does customising change Starbucks calories?
Significantly. A grande Caramel Macchiato made with whole milk, extra caramel drizzle and whipped cream can exceed 400 kcal. The same drink with non-fat milk, one pump of vanilla and no whip drops to approximately 150 kcal — a 250-calorie difference from the same base drink. Milk type, syrup pumps and toppings are the three largest variables. The Starbucks app shows live calorie updates as you customise, making it the most accurate way to check before ordering.
