The Best Vegan Options at Starbucks
Your ultimate guide to building a plant-based meal at Starbucks.
Eating Vegan at Starbucks
Starbucks is incredibly easy to navigate as a vegan. With multiple dairy alternatives and several plant-based snacks, it is a safe haven for breakfast and coffee.
The Tastiest Plant-Based Dishes
If you're pulling into the drive-thru, these are the top plant-based menu items you must try:
- Iced Shaken Espresso (with Oat milk)
- Impossible Breakfast Sandwich (Modified: remove cheese and egg)
- Classic Oatmeal
- Everything Bagel with Avocado Spread
Menu Hacks and Custom Orders
Get the most out of Starbucks's menu by modifying these classic dishes to remove hidden animal ingredients:
- When ordering seasonal Frappuccinos, always specify "no whip" and ensure the primary syrup contains no dairy (e.g., avoid Pumpkin Spice in the US, as it contains condensed milk).
- Matcha and Chai tea lattes contain sugar in the powder concentrate; but they are fully vegan when mixed with plant-based milks.
- Grab an Everything or Plain bagel, but skip the cream cheese and ask for the Avocado spread instead.
Cross-Contamination Warnings
Steaming wands and blenders are shared between dairy and non-dairy milks.
