Quick answer
- A Grande Caffè Latte has 190 calories with 2% milk: 7 g fat, 18 g sugar, 13 g protein and 150 mg caffeine.
- By size: 100 (Short), 150 (Tall), 190 (Grande) and 250 calories (Venti). An Iced Latte is 100, 130 and 180.
- Lightest latte: almondmilk, at 100 calories for a hot Grande. A Grande Blonde Vanilla Latte is 250.
A plain latte is just espresso and steamed milk, so the milk you pick decides almost everything. Below are Starbucks latte calories for every size, hot and iced, with each milk, plus the vanilla latte and how a latte compares with a cappuccino or flat white.
Starbucks latte calories by size
| Size | Calories | Fat | Sugar | Protein | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short (8 oz) | 100 | 3.5 g | 9 g | 6 g | 75 mg |
| Tall (12 oz) | 150 | 6 g | 14 g | 10 g | 75 mg |
| Grande (16 oz) | 190 | 7 g | 18 g | 13 g | 150 mg |
| Venti (20 oz) | 250 | 9 g | 23 g | 16 g | 150 mg |
Hot Caffè Latte with 2% milk, Starbucks-published U.S. values (checked October 24, 2026).
- The sugar is all from milk. A plain latte has no syrup, so its 18 g of sugar is natural lactose, not added sugar.
- Protein is the bonus: 13 g in a Grande, more than most Starbucks drinks without protein milk.
Iced latte calories
| Size | Calories | Fat | Sugar | Protein | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tall (12 oz) | 100 | 3.5 g | 9 g | 6 g | 75 mg |
| Grande (16 oz) | 130 | 4.5 g | 11 g | 8 g | 150 mg |
| Venti (24 oz) | 180 | 6 g | 15 g | 12 g | 225 mg |
- Iced is lighter than hot: a Grande Iced Latte is 130 calories against 190 hot, because ice takes up room that would be milk.
- The iced Venti has an extra shot: 3 shots and 225 mg caffeine, while a hot Venti has 2 shots and 150 mg.
Latte calories with every milk
This is the table most people are looking for. Grande, no syrup:
| Milk | Hot latte | Iced latte | Sugar (hot) | Protein (hot) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Almondmilk | 100 | about 70 | 11 g | 5 g |
| Nonfat milk | 130 | about 90 | 18 g | 14 g |
| Coconutmilk | 140 | about 90 | 11 g | 2 g |
| 2% milk (standard) | 190 | 130 | 18 g | 13 g |
| Soymilk | 190 | about 140 | 15 g | 13 g |
| Oatmilk | 210 | 150 | 10 g | 5 g |
| Whole milk | 230 | about 160 | 18 g | 13 g |
| Protein milk | about 250 | about 170 | 18 g | 27 g |
Hot values and the 2% and oatmilk iced values are Starbucks-published; “about” numbers are our calculator’s estimates.
- Oatmilk has more calories than 2%, not fewer. It does have less sugar, but it also drops protein from 13 g to 5 g.
- Nonfat is the best all-rounder: 130 calories and the most protein of the regular milks.
- Almondmilk is the lightest, but it’s thin, so the latte tastes more like espresso. Some people love that.
- Nondairy milk is free at Starbucks’ U.S. company-owned stores, so picking almond or oat doesn’t add to the price. Full details are in our Starbucks milk calories guide.
How much caffeine is in a Grande latte?
- 150 mg, hot or iced. A Grande gets 2 shots of Signature espresso at about 75 mg each.
- Short and Tall: 75 mg (1 shot). Hot Venti: 150 mg. Iced Venti: 225 mg.
- Blonde espresso takes a Grande to about 170 mg with the same calories. An extra shot adds about 75 mg and only around 5 to 10 calories.
- Latte vs brewed coffee: a Grande brewed coffee has 315 to 390 mg, more than double. Our Starbucks caffeine chart has every drink.
How many calories in a Starbucks vanilla latte?
Starbucks’ menu vanilla latte is now the Blonde Vanilla Latte, made with Blonde espresso and vanilla syrup.
Starbucks-published U.S. values with 2% milk. An iced Venti has 3 shots and 255 mg caffeine.
- The vanilla adds about 80 calories to a Grande: 4 pumps at about 20 calories and 5 g sugar each.
- Sugar-free vanilla: about 170 calories and 15 g sugar in a hot Grande.
- Skinny vanilla latte (nonfat milk and sugar-free vanilla): about 120 calories hot and 80 iced, with 13 g protein in the hot one.
- Half sweet: 2 pumps instead of 4 gives about 210 calories and 25 g sugar.
Flavored and seasonal lattes
- Rule of thumb: each pump of regular syrup adds about 20 calories. A Grande gets 4 pumps, so a flavored latte is roughly 80 calories more than a plain one. Sauces like mocha and white mocha add more. See syrup calories per pump.
- Grande, 2% milk: Cinnamon Dolce Latte 340, Pecan Crunch Latte 260, Pumpkin Spice Latte 390 and Iced Banana Bread Latte 360.
- Holiday lattes like the Peppermint Mocha and Tiramisu Velvet Latte are in our Starbucks holiday menu calories guide.
Latte vs cappuccino vs flat white
| Grande drink | Calories | Protein | Caffeine | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caffè Americano | 15 | 1 g | 225 mg | Espresso and hot water |
| Caffè Misto | 110 | 7 g | 150 mg | Brewed coffee and steamed milk, half and half |
| Cappuccino | 140 | 9 g | 150 mg | Espresso, less milk, thick foam |
| Caffè Latte | 190 | 13 g | 150 mg | Espresso, steamed milk, light foam |
| Flat White | 220 | 12 g | 195 mg | Ristretto shots and whole milk |
Starbucks-published U.S. values, standard recipes.
- A cappuccino is a lighter latte: the foam replaces some milk, so it saves about 50 calories in a Grande.
- A Misto is the lightest milky coffee at 110 calories, because half the cup is brewed coffee.
- A flat white is the heaviest because it uses whole milk, but it also has an extra shot.
How to order a lighter latte
- Say it simply: “Grande nonfat latte” or “Grande latte with almondmilk.” Baristas hear these all day, so there’s no need to feel awkward.
- “Skinny” means nonfat milk and sugar-free syrup, and no whipped cream if the drink normally has it.
- Go iced: the same order iced is about 60 calories lighter in a Grande.
- Want it sweet? Sugar-free vanilla adds sweetness for almost no calories. It uses sucralose, which the FDA allows; whether you use it is a personal call.
- Watching blood sugar? Even an unsweetened latte has 18 g sugar from milk. Almondmilk or coconutmilk brings that to about 11 g.
- Want more protein? Protein milk takes a Grande to about 27 g protein. Our Starbucks protein drinks guide ranks the options.
- Cost note: nondairy milk is free, but an extra shot, extra syrup or cold foam can cost more. The app shows the price as you customize.
