The Caramel Brulée Latte is a luxurious seasonal star at Starbucks, inspired by the elegant crunch and caramelized depth of classic French crème brûlée.
It starts with our bold Starbucks® Signature Espresso Roast blended seamlessly with steamed milk and a rich, smoky caramel brulée sauce—delivering a deeper, toasted sweetness that’s more sophisticated and less one-note than regular caramel. Topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream and finished with crunchy caramel brulée bits (those addictive caramelized sugar pieces), it adds the perfect textural contrast and extra indulgence.
This drink is pure festive decadence: buttery, rich, and heavy on the sweet, creamy comfort—ideal for anyone craving an elevated holiday espresso treat that feels special and satisfying.
(You can enjoy it hot, iced, or even as a Frappuccino® blended beverage. Pro tip: It’s a limited-time offering, so grab it while it’s on the menu—usually during the holiday season, though availability varies by location and year!)

Frequently Asked Questions

Both are delicious caramel-infused lattes made with our bold Starbucks® Signature Espresso Roast and steamed milk, but they deliver very different flavor experiences!

  • A Caramel Latte (or Caramel Macchiato, depending on how it’s layered) uses a classic, smooth caramel syrup—thin, sweet, and straightforward—for that familiar buttery caramel taste. It’s versatile and available year-round.
  • A Caramel Brulée Latte takes it to the next level with a richer, thicker caramel brulée sauce that has a smoky, toasted depth (think caramelized sugar crust on crème brûlée). It’s topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream and crunchy caramel brulée bits for extra texture and indulgence. The result? A more decadent, dessert-like sip that’s heavier on the buttery, toasted sweetness.

In short: Caramel Latte = everyday smooth caramel comfort; Caramel Brulée Latte = elevated, festive luxury with that signature crunch!

No—the official caramel brulée sauce contains skim milk powder as an ingredient (along with sugars, water, natural flavors, salt, and preservatives). Even if you swap the steamed milk for a non-dairy option like oatmilk or almondmilk, the sauce itself keeps the drink from being fully dairy-free or vegan. Check the latest ingredient info on Starbucks.com or with your barista, as formulations can update.

The authentic version—with the special sauce and crunchy brulée bits—is a seasonal holiday favorite, typically available from early November through January (or while supplies last). Off-season, fans love this popular hack: Order a Latte with half White Mocha syrup and half Toffee Nut syrup—it mimics the rich, nutty-toasted caramel vibe pretty closely!

Yes! A Grande (16 oz) Caramel Brulée Latte has about 150 mg of caffeine from the two shots of Signature Espresso Roast (same as a standard Grande Latte). Prefer no buzz? Just ask for Decaf espresso—the flavor stays indulgent.

The caramel brulée bits are mainly sugar, corn syrup, natural flavors, and vegetable/fruit colors—no obvious gluten ingredients. However, Starbucks doesn’t certify handcrafted beverages as gluten-free due to potential cross-contamination from shared equipment, utensils, and preparation areas. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivities, it’s best to avoid or consult your doctor/store team.

Yes! During the holiday season, the Caramel Brulée flavor shines in both coffee-based (with espresso) and crème-based (coffee-free, blended with milk and ice) Frappuccino® versions—both topped with whipped cream and those addictive brulée bits for maximum crunch.

Pro tip: Customize it iced for a refreshing twist, or go extra with more sauce for that ultimate brûlée experience. It’s a holiday must-try while it’s around!
