What Is the Starbucks Iced Sugar Cookie Breve?
Starbucks Blonde Espresso pulled with sugar cookie flavored syrup, poured over ice with half-and-half, and finished with festive red and green cookie sprinkles. A breve uses half-and-half instead of regular milk, creating a noticeably richer, creamier texture. Same sugar cookie flavor as the Sugar Cookie Breve, served cold over ice for those who prefer their holiday drinks chilled.
Part of the holiday cold coffee lineup on the Cold Coffee menu. The breve format makes this the most indulgent of the Sugar Cookie drink family, with three times the calories of the almondmilk Iced Sugar Cookie Latte.

Allergen Information

Flavor Profile and Taste Review
Luxuriously rich and creamy. The half-and-half gives this drink a velvety, almost custard-like body that regular milk cannot match. The sugar cookie syrup delivers that familiar buttery-vanilla-almond cookie flavor, and the richness of the half-and-half amplifies the buttery notes to another level. It tastes like drinking a melted sugar cookie stirred into cream. The Blonde Espresso cuts through the richness just enough to remind you there is coffee in there. The sprinkles add a festive crunch and visual appeal.
Who Will Love It
- Dessert-drink lovers who treat coffee as an indulgence
- Fans of rich, creamy lattes who do not mind the calories
- Sugar cookie flavor maximalists who want the richest version possible
- Breve fans who already order half-and-half in their regular drinks

- Calorie-conscious drinkers (420 calories for a Grande)
- Dairy-free or vegan customers (contains half-and-half)
- People who prefer coffee-forward drinks (the cream dominates here)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a breve at Starbucks?
A breve is a latte made with half-and-half instead of regular milk. Half-and-half has significantly more fat than 2% milk, creating a richer, creamier texture but also more calories. Any Starbucks latte can be ordered as a breve.
Is the Iced Sugar Cookie Breve seasonal?
Yes. It launches in early November with the Starbucks holiday menu and stays available through early January or until sugar cookie syrup runs out at your location.
Can I make the Iced Sugar Cookie Breve lower calorie?
The most effective change is switching from half-and-half to almondmilk, which turns it into the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte at 140 calories. You can also ask for half sweet to reduce sugar, or order a Tall for 310 calories. But if you want the true breve experience, the richness is the whole point.
Is the Iced Sugar Cookie Breve the same as the hot Sugar Cookie Breve?
Same ingredients but served iced instead of steamed. The iced version is about 50 calories lighter and has a slightly different flavor profile — the cold temperature makes the sweetness a bit more pronounced while the coffee flavor is a bit more muted.
Can I order a Sugar Cookie Breve without the cookie sprinkles?
Yes. Just ask for no sprinkles. This removes the wheat and soy allergen concern from the toppings. The sugar cookie syrup flavor remains unchanged.
