Starbucks New Drinks Spring 2026 – Every New & Returning Menu Item Ranked
Spring 2026 is an exciting season for Starbucks fans. The latest spring menu brings a wave of fresh, vibrant drinks designed around coconut, lavender, and toasted flavors — plus the continuation of the wildly popular Dubai Chocolate-inspired lineup that took over social media in early 2026. Whether you love bold espresso drinks, refreshing iced teas, or creamy blended beverages, the Starbucks spring 2026 menu has something genuinely new worth trying.
What’s New at Starbucks for Spring 2026?
Starbucks launched its spring 2026 menu in March, centered around the theme of warmth, sunshine, and tropical flavors. The new lineup focuses heavily on coconut and oat milk variations, building on the dairy-free momentum that has transformed the Starbucks menu over the past two years. In 2026, the brand has committed to making premium plant-based options as accessible and flavorful as their dairy counterparts.
Alongside the brand-new spring additions, Starbucks also made several drinks from the winter 2025–2026 season permanent, including the full Protein Beverages lineup featuring High Protein Lattes and Protein Cold Foam drinks. The spring menu also sees the return of fan favorites from previous seasons.
New Starbucks Drinks for Spring 2026 — Full List
Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew
One of the standout new drinks of spring 2026. Cold brew coffee poured over ice, topped with a thick layer of toasted coconut cream cold foam. The coconut cream foam has a subtly sweet, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the natural boldness of Starbucks cold brew. A dusting of toasted coconut flakes on top adds a light crunch and aroma that elevates the drink visually and texturally.
This drink is naturally dairy-free as the cold brew base contains no dairy, and the toasted coconut cream foam uses a coconut milk base. It is a strong contender for the most Instagram-worthy new drink of the season. Browse all cold brew options on our Starbucks Cold Brew Menu.
Toasted Coconut Oatmilk Latte
A warm and comforting new addition to the spring lineup. Espresso shots combined with toasted coconut syrup and steamed oat milk. The combination of nutty coconut flavor and creamy oat milk creates a latte that feels tropical and cozy simultaneously — a surprisingly satisfying pairing with bold Starbucks espresso.
Available hot or iced. The iced version is particularly refreshing as a mid-morning drink. As a bonus, it is fully dairy-free. For more dairy-free options, see our Starbucks Dairy-Free Options guide.
Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato
A stunning new limited-time spring special. Ube (a purple yam used widely in Filipino desserts) syrup combined with coconut milk and espresso in a layered macchiato format. The natural purple color of ube creates one of the most visually striking drinks Starbucks has released in years — bright purple at the base, espresso layers in the middle, and a beautiful foam swirl on top.
The flavor is sweet, subtly earthy, and tropical — unlike anything else on the Starbucks menu. If you are adventurous with your coffee orders, this is the drink to try before it disappears from the spring menu. Browse Starbucks Iced Espresso drinks for similar layered options year-round.
Lavender Oatmilk Latte (Returning Fan Favorite)
The lavender latte returns for spring 2026 after its breakout debut last year. Espresso with lavender-infused syrup and steamed oat milk. Soft, floral, and slightly sweet — the lavender flavor is subtle enough to complement rather than overwhelm the espresso. The purple hue makes it one of the prettiest drinks in the hot espresso lineup.
Available hot and iced. The iced version with oat milk and a splash of lavender cold foam has become a social media staple in spring 2026. See all hot espresso options on our Starbucks Hot Coffee Menu.
Dubai Chocolate Series (Continued from Winter 2026)
The viral Iced Dubai Chocolate drinks launched in winter 2026 proved so popular that Starbucks extended them into the spring season. The lineup includes the Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha (matcha latte base with chocolate cream cold foam and brown-butter sprinkles) and the Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha (espresso mocha with pistachio cream cold foam and buttery crunch topping). Both have remained among the top-ordered drinks since their launch.
New Customizable Chai (Spring 2026 Recipe Update)
Starbucks updated its classic Chai recipe for spring 2026, making it fully customizable in sweetness level, spice intensity, and milk choice. Customers can now request “light spice,” “extra spice,” “less sweet,” or “extra sweet” versions of the chai, giving baristas specific parameters to work with. The new chai base itself has also been reformulated for a bolder cinnamon-forward flavor. Browse the full Starbucks Hot Tea Menu for all chai options.
Spring 2026 Food Menu Updates
The spring food menu at Starbucks also sees several new additions in 2026. The Lemon Loaf — a perennial spring favorite — returns in a new Meyer Lemon version with a brighter, more tart citrus flavor. A new Coconut-Lime Danish joins the bakery section, pairing well with the coconut drink theme of the season. The protein food section also expands with two new high-protein snack boxes designed for gym-goers and health-conscious customers.
Which Spring 2026 Starbucks Drink Should You Try First?
