Top 10 Starbuck’s Drinks: Cheapest to Most Expensive
Coffee. Where would you be without it?
I’d be in a cold, dark place. That’s for sure.
And when it comes to restaurant coffee, you probably think of Starbucks. As an occasional treat, it’s a fun pick-me-up or way to connect with others.
Luckily, ordering coffee doesn’t have to break your bank account. Below are the top 10 Starbucks drinks ranked by price – cheapest to most expensive. Often, calories are a consideration too, so I included those with each drink as well.
Fun Fact: The latte is the most popular type of Starbucks drink, purchased by about 22.4% of customers (source).
The prices below are for a size Grande (16 fluid oz). Prices will vary by location and are before tax and customizations.

Want to Reduce the Calorie Content?
Swapping out regular milk for almond, coconut, or oat milk reduces calories but costs an extra $.70. If you don’t have an allergy, you can cut calories for free using one of these ideas:
- Ask for lower-fat-content milk. Instead of whole or 2%, ask for nonfat milk.
- Tell them no whipped topping.
- Ask for fewer pumps of syrup. Many drinks come with 4 pumps of syrup, making them a veritable sugar bomb. It costs nothing to tell them to put 1 pump of sugar in it instead of the full amount. Your coffee will still be delicious.
