Starbucks Breakfast Menu USA

Not sure what to order? These are the breakfast items Starbucks customers reach for most often, with each one's own calories, protein and pickup price from the menu data, and a note on when it makes the most sense.

Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich

The Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich is the sandwich most people mean when they say "a Starbucks breakfast sandwich." Applewood smoked bacon, a folded egg and aged Gouda on an artisan roll, warmed until the cheese softens. It is savory rather than rich, and it holds together well in a car.

Starbucks lists it at 360 calories and 18 grams of protein, and it is $6.05 for pickup at the reference store. The roll is the calorie carrier; the bacon and cheese are where the sodium comes from, which is worth knowing if you order it most mornings.

Best time to order: a weekday commute. It sells out at busy stores by mid morning, so a mobile order placed before you leave the house is the safe route.

Sausage, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich

The Sausage, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich is the heavier classic: a sausage patty, egg and cheddar on an English muffin. It is the closest thing on the board to a diner breakfast sandwich and the one customers pick when they want to be full until lunch.

Starbucks lists it at 480 calories and 18 grams of protein, and it is $5.45 for pickup at the reference store. The English muffin keeps it a little lighter than a croissant based sandwich would be, but the sausage pushes the fat and sodium above the bacon version.

Best time to order: a long morning ahead. Pair it with brewed coffee or an Americano; a flavored latte on top makes the whole order heavy.

Bacon & Gruyère Egg Bites

Bacon & Gruyère Egg Bites are two sous vide egg bites with Gruyère and bacon, cooked low and slow so the texture is closer to a custard than a fried egg. They are the item regulars order when they want protein without bread.

Starbucks lists it at 300 calories and 19 grams of protein, and it is $6.55 for pickup at the reference store. The Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites are the lighter pair at 170 calories and 12 grams of protein.

Best time to order: any morning you want a warm breakfast under the calories of a sandwich. They reheat well, so they also work as a mid morning snack.

Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap

The Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap rolls egg whites, spinach, feta and tomato into a whole wheat wrap. It is the vegetarian order on the warm menu and the one that reads freshest, with the feta carrying most of the flavor.

Starbucks lists it at 290 calories and 20 grams of protein, and it is $5.45 for pickup at the reference store. It is one of the few warm breakfast items where the protein is high and the fat is low at the same time.

Best time to order: when you want something warm and handheld that is not a sandwich. It pairs naturally with an iced green tea or a plain latte.

Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap

The Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap is the biggest handheld breakfast Starbucks sells: bacon, sausage, egg and cheese in a tortilla. It is built for a drive through order that has to stand in for a full meal.

Starbucks lists it at 640 calories and 27 grams of protein, and it is $7.15 for pickup at the reference store. That makes it the heaviest item in this guide by a clear margin, so treat it as the once in a while order rather than the daily one.

Best time to order: a road trip morning or a late start with no lunch planned. Skip the pastry alongside; the wrap already covers it.

Impossible Breakfast Sandwich

The Impossible Breakfast Sandwich puts an Impossible plant based sausage patty with egg and cheese on a ciabatta roll. It is not vegan because of the egg and cheese, but it is the meat free sandwich that eats most like the sausage version.

Starbucks lists it at 420 calories and 21 grams of protein, and it is $6.55 for pickup at the reference store. The patty carries real protein, which is why it competes with the meat sandwiches rather than the bakery on a full stomach.

Best time to order: when you want a filling vegetarian breakfast and the egg white wrap feels too light.

Butter Croissant

The Butter Croissant is the plainest thing in the bakery case and one of the best sellers, because it goes with every drink on the menu and takes no time to order. Ask for it warmed.

Starbucks lists it at 250 calories and 5 grams of protein, and it is $4.35 for pickup at the reference store. There is almost no protein in it, so it is a pastry with coffee rather than a breakfast on its own.

Best time to order: a quick stop when you want something with a latte and do not want a full meal.

Rolled & Steel-Cut Oatmeal

Rolled & Steel-Cut Oatmeal is the one hot breakfast on the board with no bread, no egg and no cheese: rolled and steel cut oats with toppings on the side. It is the order for a lighter morning or for customers avoiding dairy in their food.

Starbucks lists it at 160 calories and 5 grams of protein, and it is $4.75 for pickup at the reference store. The toppings decide the rest; the brown sugar and dried fruit add sugar, the nuts add protein and fat.

Best time to order: a slow morning when you can sit with it, or a travel day when you want fiber rather than a pastry.

The best combination depends on the goal: fewer calories, more protein, better value or a bigger portion. Compare the whole order, because the drink often carries more calories than the food, and a flavored latte can double a light breakfast.

Check the app before deciding. Rewards offers change weekly, and some only apply to selected sandwiches, drinks or ordering methods; offers usually need to be activated before checkout.

Eating well at Starbucks in the morning is a matter of picking the items with more protein, less sodium and fewer empty calories. The egg bites and the egg white builds lead on all three; the bakery case is where the sugar lives.

Best High Protein Breakfast Items

Best Breakfast Under 400 Calories

These keep the morning light without giving up a warm meal:

Pro move: Bacon & Gruyère Egg Bites with a Caffè Latte lands around 32 grams of protein for 490 calories, the most protein efficient breakfast on the board.

Swap tip: order any sandwich without cheese, or on an English muffin rather than a croissant, and ask for brewed coffee instead of a flavored latte. Those three changes cut more than any single item choice.

Starbucks refreshes its morning bakery with the seasons. Right now the board carries Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin and Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf, which arrive with the fall lineup and leave once stores sell through.

The warm breakfast menu changes less often than the drinks do. New sandwiches and pockets tend to launch once or twice a year and stay, while the pastries rotate. Because seasonal items last a few weeks or months, the Starbucks app is the reliable way to check what your store has today, and the The Latest section here tracks the current lineup.

Starbucks has several breakfast items with no meat, and most sandwiches can be ordered without it. The egg based items are vegetarian rather than vegan; the oatmeal and the plain bagel are the vegan starting points.

Easy Vegetarian Customizations

Any breakfast sandwich can be ordered without the bacon or sausage; the egg and cheese stay. A plain bagel with avocado spread is a vegan order, and the oatmeal with nuts and fruit is a vegan breakfast with real protein. Staff will make the swaps without fuss outside the busiest window.

A dairy free hot breakfast at Starbucks takes a little care, because most sandwiches carry cheese and most pastries carry butter. The items whose published ingredients list no milk are Avocado Spread, Avocado Spread, Avocado Spread, Rolled & Steel-Cut Oatmeal, MUSH Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Overnight Oats and Ellenos Muesli Yogurt. The plain and everything bagels are the safest bakery choice, ordered without cream cheese.

On the drink side, every latte, chai and matcha can be made with oat, almond, soy or coconutmilk, and brewed coffee, cold brew and the Refreshers are dairy free as built. Everything is prepared on shared equipment, so the allergen guide is the place to check before ordering with a milk allergy.

Starbucks breakfast hours are simpler than most chains: the breakfast items are on the menu for the whole day. There is no cut off, and the same sandwiches sit on the counter at 2 PM. Store opening times are set per location, and that is the number that matters.

The Starbucks hours page has the national pattern and the holiday calendar, and every city page lists each store's own weekly schedule with an open now check.

Calories, protein, carbs, fat, sugar and sodium for every breakfast item, sorted from lightest, with the pickup price at Starbucks (Northgate Way & I-5), Seattle where the store lists one.

• Use the Starbucks app: it shows the real price for your store, marks items that have sold out, and lists any Rewards offer on food that morning. Saved orders reorder in one tap.
• Order the sandwich without cheese: it is the single easiest way to cut fat and sodium on the warm menu, and every store will do it.
• Watch the drink: a Grande flavored latte can carry more calories than the egg bites. Brewed coffee, an Americano or cold brew keep the total where the food put it.
• Go early for egg bites: they are the first thing to sell out at busy stores, often before 10 AM.
• Ask for pastries warmed: croissants and the pull apart are far better warm, and the counter will do it on request.
• Licensed stores carry less: a Starbucks inside a grocery chain, airport or hotel often has a shorter breakfast case than a company operated store.

Starbucks breakfast items may contain or come into contact with wheat, milk, egg, soy, sesame, tree nuts, peanuts or other allergens depending on the item. Sandwiches and wraps carry egg, dairy and wheat; bagels and pastries carry wheat and often milk, egg or sesame; the oatmeal toppings include nuts. Sandwiches are warmed in shared ovens. Every item page here carries the full ingredient tree and the allergen line Starbucks publishes, and the allergen guide covers the whole menu. If an allergy is serious, ask the barista before ordering.
