Starbucks Latte Menu USA

Every drink in this table is served hot in Short, Tall, Grande and Venti. The three seasonal lattes (pumpkin, pecan, pistachio) come and go through the year, and the six protein lattes were added in 2025 and are now permanent at most stores.

The espresso count is fixed by size: one shot in a Short or Tall, two in a Grande or Venti. Milk fills the rest of the cup, steamed to about 160 degrees, with roughly a quarter inch of foam on top. Flavored lattes get syrup pumped into the cup before the milk: 3 pumps in a Tall, 4 in a Grande, 5 in a Venti, at about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar each.

Two espresso roasts are in play. The signature Espresso Roast is dark and caramelly and goes into the Caffè Latte, the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Blonde Espresso is lighter and slightly higher in caffeine, which is why the Starbucks Blonde Vanilla Latte and Pecan Crunch Latte show 170 mg against 150 mg for the standard drinks. Protein lattes use a protein-boosted milk instead of syrup alone, which is where their 27 g of protein comes from.

Caffè Latte

The Caffè Latte is the base drink: espresso, steamed 2% milk, light foam, no syrup. A Grande is 190 calories with 18 g of sugar, all of it lactose from the milk, and 13 g of protein. It is the latte to learn on because every other drink here is this plus something.

• Why choose the Caffè Latte? No added sugar: the 18 g listed is milk sugar, not syrup.
• Cheapest latte: $5.35 for a Grande at the reference store.
• Fully adjustable: add one pump of any syrup and it becomes a light flavored latte for about 20 calories.
• Real coffee flavor: with no syrup, the espresso is the main taste.

Nutrition tip: switch to nonfat milk and a Grande drops to around 130 calories; switch to almond and it falls further, at the cost of most of the protein.

Starbucks Blonde Vanilla Latte

The Starbucks Blonde Vanilla Latte pairs the lighter Blonde Espresso with vanilla syrup. It is sweeter and softer than the plain latte, with 35 g of sugar in a Grande and 250 calories. The Blonde shots push caffeine to 170 mg, the highest of the non-seasonal lattes.

• Why choose the Blonde Vanilla Latte? Most popular flavored latte: a simple, familiar taste.
• More caffeine: 170 mg versus 150 mg in the standard latte.
• Easy to lighten: ask for 2 pumps instead of 4 and save about 40 calories.
• Sugar-free option: vanilla is one of the two flavors with a sugar-free syrup at most stores.

Nutrition tip: ordered with sugar-free vanilla and nonfat milk, this drink lands close to a plain latte in calories while keeping the vanilla taste.

Cinnamon Dolce Latte

The Cinnamon Dolce Latte adds cinnamon dolce syrup, sweetened whipped cream and a cinnamon-sugar topping. The whip is why it reaches 340 calories and 14 g of fat in a Grande, double the fat of the plain latte. Sugar is 40 g.

• Why choose the Cinnamon Dolce Latte? Dessert-style: it tastes like a cinnamon roll in a cup.
• Year-round: unlike pumpkin or pecan, it is on the menu every month.
• Cheaper than the seasonals: $6.25 for a Grande against $6.35 for the pumpkin.
• Whip optional: dropping the whipped cream removes 70 to 110 calories at once.

Nutrition tip: no whip and 2 pumps brings a Grande under 250 calories with the topping intact.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

The Pumpkin Spice Latte is the fall seasonal, back each year in late August: pumpkin spice sauce, espresso, steamed milk, whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice. At 390 calories and 50 g of sugar in a Grande it is the heaviest drink in the section, and at $6.35 it is one of the most expensive.

• Why choose the Pumpkin Spice Latte? The seasonal people wait for: a real pumpkin sauce, not just spice.
• Filling: 14 g of protein and 14 g of fat make it closer to a snack than a coffee.
• Easy to scale: a Short is 210 calories, about half the Grande.
• Comes iced too: same sauce in the iced latte section.

Nutrition tip: the sauce carries both sugar and dairy, so a nondairy PSL is not dairy-free; the sauce itself contains milk.

Vanilla Protein Latte

The Vanilla Protein Latte is espresso with vanilla-flavored protein milk, and it delivers 27 g of protein in a Grande, double the plain latte. It costs $7.35, the top price in this section, and comes in at 310 calories with 34 g of sugar.

• Why choose the Vanilla Protein Latte? Breakfast replacement: as much protein as four eggs.
• Gym mornings: coffee and protein in one cup instead of two purchases.
• Familiar flavor: it tastes like a vanilla latte, not like a shake.
• Sweetness is adjustable: the base is sweetened, but you can ask for fewer pumps.

Nutrition tip: the sugar-free version below has the same protein for 230 calories, which is the better order for most people.

Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte

The Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte swaps in sugar-free vanilla syrup and keeps the protein milk, so a Grande holds 27 g of protein for 230 calories and 15 g of sugar. That is the best protein-to-calorie ratio on the hot menu.

• Why choose the Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte? High protein, low sugar: 27 g against 15 g.
• Same price as the sweetened version: $7.35 for a Grande.
• Lighter than a Cinnamon Dolce: fewer calories with more than twice the protein.
• Caramel twin: the Sugar-Free Caramel Protein Latte has identical numbers with caramel in place of vanilla.

Nutrition tip: the remaining 15 g of sugar is lactose from the milk base, not added sugar.

Lavender Latte

The Lavender Latte is Blonde Espresso and steamed milk with a lavender-flavored powder. It is floral without tasting like soap, and at 240 calories and 32 g of sugar in a Grande it sits in the middle of the section. It usually appears in spring.

• Why choose the Lavender Latte? Something different: the only floral drink on the hot menu.
• Mid-range calories: lighter than the caramel and cinnamon drinks.
• Blonde base: softer espresso that does not fight the lavender.
• Pairs with oat milk: the most common way it is ordered.

Nutrition tip: the lavender powder is where the sugar lives, so ask for fewer scoops rather than a milk swap if you want to cut it.

The remaining lattes are variations on the drinks above. The Pecan Crunch Latte and Pistachio Latte are fall and winter seasonals with a brown-butter topping; the Toasted Coconut Latte is a summer syrup drink; and the two caramel protein lattes mirror the vanilla pair with caramel syrup. Calories by size:

The Pistachio Latte is the sweetest of these at 45 g of sugar per Grande, and the Toasted Coconut Latte is the lightest at 230 calories.

Three milk drinks, three textures. A Grande Caffè Latte is 190 calories with mostly steamed milk and a thin foam layer. A Grande Cappuccino uses the same shots but replaces half the milk with thick foam, so it is lighter at 140 calories and tastes stronger of coffee. A Flat White uses ristretto shots and whole milk with almost no foam, and a Tall is 170 calories.

Choose the latte if you want a milky, mild cup or a flavor. Choose the cappuccino if you want the coffee to come through and fewer calories. Choose the flat white if you want a richer, smaller, more espresso-forward drink. None of the three has syrup by default.

Milk is the calorie driver, so every size step adds roughly 50 to 80 calories on a flavored latte and less on the plain one. The whipped-cream drinks jump more between sizes because the whip portion grows too.

A Short is the size to know about: 100 calories for a plain latte and 210 for a pumpkin spice, with one full shot in each.

The six protein lattes tie at 27 g per Grande. Among the rest, protein tracks milk volume, so the plain latte and the pumpkin spice lead at 13 to 14 g.

For a low-calorie order, start from the bottom of this list and adjust the milk.

• Heavier ones to know: the Pumpkin Spice Latte at 390 calories, the Cinnamon Dolce Latte at 340, and the Pistachio Latte and Caramel Protein Latte at 320 each.
• The plain latte with nonfat milk is the lightest way to get a hot milk drink from the espresso bar without changing the recipe.
• Any latte with whipped cream can lose 70 to 110 calories by skipping it.

Starbucks sets prices per store. At the reference store the section runs from $5.35 for a plain Grande to $7.35 for the protein lattes, with flavored syrup drinks in between at $6.25 to $6.35.

What moves the price: syrup adds about ninety cents over the plain latte, a seasonal sauce a little more, and protein milk about two dollars. Nondairy milk adds around 70 cents on any of them. An extra shot is about a dollar.

• Anyone who finds brewed coffee or an Americano too harsh and wants milk to round it out.
• People who want a flavored hot drink: this is where the syrups and seasonal sauces live.
• High-protein eaters: 27 g in a cup for the price of a coffee and a snack.
• Nondairy drinkers: every latte here can be made with oat, almond, soy or coconut milk.
• Not ideal for: low-sugar diets without changes, since flavored lattes carry 30 to 50 g of sugar in a Grande, and caffeine seekers, who get more from a brewed coffee for less money.

All 12 lattes contain milk as served. The pumpkin spice sauce and the protein milk base both contain dairy on their own, so a nondairy milk swap does not make those drinks dairy-free. Syrups are generally free of the major allergens, but the pecan and pistachio drinks use flavorings and toppings that share equipment with tree nut ingredients; ask the barista if that matters to you. Every drink is made with shared pitchers and steam wands.

The Caffè Latte is the drink to order most days: 190 calories, no added sugar, $5.35. When you want flavor, one or two pumps in a plain latte beats the full four-pump recipe on taste as well as calories. When you want a treat, the seasonal drinks are worth it in a Tall.

The protein lattes changed the section. The Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte at 230 calories and 27 g of protein is the best new order on the hot menu for anyone who was buying a coffee and a protein bar separately.
