Starbucks Cappuccino Menu With Prices
The cappuccino is the lightest way to drink espresso with milk at Starbucks: the same shots as a latte under a deep cap of airy foam, at just 140 calories for a Grande. This 2026 menu lists current cappuccino prices by size, from about $3.95 for a Short to $5.45 for a Venti.
Starbucks cappuccinos are quietly customizable: order it “dry” for maximum foam and strongest coffee taste, “wet” for closer to a latte, and add any syrup you would put in a latte for the same $0.80. Same caffeine as a latte, 75 mg per shot, roughly half the calories.

Wet vs Dry Cappuccino
A dry cappuccino maximizes foam and minimizes liquid milk, so the espresso hits harder and the drink weighs almost nothing. A wet cappuccino shifts toward steamed milk, ending somewhere between a classic cappuccino and a latte. Standard is in the middle. Baristas take both requests happily, and dry is the pick if you want the strongest-tasting milk drink on the menu.

FAQs About the Starbucks Cappuccino
How much caffeine is in a Starbucks cappuccino?
75 mg in a Tall (one shot), 150 mg in Grande and Venti (two shots), identical to a latte.
Cappuccino vs latte: what is the difference?
Same espresso, different milk ratio. The cappuccino carries much more foam and much less liquid milk, so it tastes stronger and has about half the calories.
How many calories in a Grande cappuccino?
About 140 with 2% milk, 100 with nonfat, and around 170 with whole milk. One of the lightest milk-based drinks Starbucks makes.
What is a dry cappuccino?
Extra foam, minimal steamed milk, the strongest-tasting version. A “bone dry” cappuccino is nearly all foam and takes a barista an extra minute.
Can I get an iced cappuccino at Starbucks?
Not officially; foam does not survive ice the same way. The closest orders are an iced latte with cold foam on top or an iced shaken espresso.
Is a cappuccino good for weight watchers?
It is the espresso-milk drink dietitians usually point to: real milk texture at 100 to 140 calories, and sugar-free syrups keep flavored versions lean.
How does the 1971 Roast taste compared to the Signature Espresso?
The 1971 Roast is noticeably darker and less acidic than the Signature Espresso Roast. While the Signature Roast features prominent cocoa notes, the 1971 Roast emphasizes toasted sugar and walnut flavors, delivering a much bolder, richer impact on the palate.
Does the Protein-Boosted Milk change the taste of the foam?
Yes, slightly. Customers in 2026 often describe the foam made with Protein-Boosted Milk as “creamier” and with a subtle “malted” finish. Many prefer it over traditional non-fat milk foam, which can sometimes feel too thin or light.
Can I get a “Lavender Cappuccino” for Spring 2026?
Yes. Although it is not a pre-listed signature item, you can fully customize any Cappuccino with Lavender Syrup, which returns to the menu on March 3, 2026. The delicate floral notes of lavender pair beautifully with the light, airy texture of the micro-foam, especially when using Blonde Espresso.
Is the foam on a Cappuccino the same as “Cold Foam”?
No. Cappuccino foam is created by steaming and aerating milk with hot steam, producing very fine “micro-bubbles” for a light, silky texture. Cold Foam is frothed cold and is denser and thicker, specifically formulated to sit on top of iced beverages without melting quickly.
The Bottom Line
The cappuccino is the latte’s lighter, stronger sibling and costs the same, making it the best swap for anyone counting calories without giving up milk drinks. Master wet versus dry and it covers every mood. See the rest of the espresso family on the Hot Coffee menu and Espresso Shot menu.
