The Caffè Latte forms the heart of Starbucks’ espresso lineup—a timeless classic loved for its harmonious blend of bold espresso and silky steamed milk.
It starts with rich, dark Starbucks® Signature Espresso Roast, perfectly balanced by velvety steamed 2% milk and finished with a delicate, airy layer of foam. This milk-forward favorite delivers a smooth, comforting sip that lets the espresso shine without overwhelming intensity—ideal for anyone craving a cozy, creamy coffee experience.
Simple yet endlessly versatile (hot or iced, with your choice of milk or flavors), it remains a worldwide go-to for its effortless elegance and pure comfort in every cup.
(Pro tip: Customize it your way—swap in oatmilk, add a pump of vanilla, or go extra hot for that perfect foam crown!)

Frequently Asked Questions – The Caffè Latte

Both are classic espresso drinks made with our bold Signature Espresso Roast, steamed milk, and a touch of foam—but the ratios and preparation make them taste quite different!

  • A Caffè Latte is milk-forward and creamy: It features more steamed milk blended smoothly with the espresso, topped with just a light, velvety layer of foam. This creates a smoother, milder coffee flavor that’s comforting and easy to sip.
  • A Cappuccino emphasizes the espresso: It has less steamed milk and a much thicker, airier layer of foam (often with more distinct layers). The result? A stronger, richer espresso taste that shines through with every sip.

Think of the latte as cozy and creamy, while the cappuccino is bolder and foamier—perfect if you love that classic espresso punch!

No—the classic Caffè Latte has no syrups or added sugar. Any sugar shown in the nutrition info comes naturally from the lactose in the milk (about 18g in a Grande with 2% milk).

A Grande (16 oz) Caffè Latte packs approximately 150 mg of caffeine, thanks to the two shots of our Signature Espresso Roast. (That’s the same as a Grande Cappuccino!)

Yes, easily! Swap in one of our plant-based milks: Oatmilk, Almondmilk, Soymilk, or Coconutmilk. Keep in mind that switching milks will adjust the calories, texture, and overall nutrition—oatmilk, for example, often gives a creamy result similar to dairy.

Definitely! Espresso is brewed under high pressure for a concentrated, intense shot with rich flavor and a signature crema. Regular drip coffee is brewed more gently over a longer time, resulting in a milder, less bold taste. That’s why lattes feel luxurious and espresso-forward, even with all that milk.

Of course! The Iced Caffè Latte keeps the same espresso-to-milk balance but uses cold milk poured over ice—no steaming needed. It’s refreshing, smooth, and perfect for warmer days (and it’s slightly lower in calories than the hot version since there’s no foam). Just ask for it iced!

Pro tip: Customize either version with flavors, extra shots, or your favorite milk for your perfect sip.
