Updated May 2023! Oh how Starbucks has evolved over the years. When I first posted about this mega coffee house chain, it was to share the dairy-free versions of their “new” Vivanno Nourishing blends. Those have since vanished from the menu. And sadly, their wonderful Tazo tea menu has also been replaced by an overly sweet, floral Teavana line-up. However, for dairy free Starbucks coffee drinkers or a quick vegan nosh on the go, the options have actually expanded. Scroll through our guide, or use these jump links to get ahead:

News from Starbucks
February 23, 2023 – Starbucks Dips Into the Olive Oil Market with New Drinks
Starbucks has unveiled a line of coffee beverages that combine their signature arabica coffee with a a spoonful of Partanna cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil. The new drinks are touted as velvety smooth, delicately sweet, and rich in flavor, and they include a few dairy-free options. The Oleato Caffè Latte is a simple blend of espresso, oatmilk, and EVOO, while the Oleato Iced Shaken Espresso steps it up with sweet hazelnut flavor. At Starbucks Reserve locations, the Oleato Iced Cortado will also be available with espresso, oatmilk, EVOO, demerara syrup, and a dash of orange bitters. The Oleato collection is launching first in Italy, but will be in Southern California in spring, and will soon be available throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Middle East, and Japan.
January 3, 2023 – Starbucks U.K. Cuts Dairy-Free Milk Surcharge and Releases Veganuary Menu
It’s official. Starbucks is dropping its surcharge for non-dairy milk alternatives in the U.K. They’re celebrating this newfound dairy-freedom with a sizable Veganuary menu. On the beverage side, they’ve released a limited edition Caramelised Macadamia Oat Latte, which is topped with a sprinkle of caramelised macadamia flavour topping. If you’re not strictly vegan, they’ve also brought back the dairy-free Honey Hazelnut Oat Latte. On the food menu, you can find the vegan No’Beef and Red Onion Focaccia sandwich, Plant-Based Breakfast Wrap, Banana Caramel Muffin, and Raspberry & Almond Mini Loaf. As mentioned, these Veganuary specials are in the U.K., not North America, and are available for a limited time.
How to Order Dairy Free Starbucks Drinks
We have all the details on the dairy free Starbucks beverages, including hot, cold, and pre-packaged. I have also added their new allergen information, which was sent out via an alert in July 2018. It didn’t change much in terms of their policies, but was intended for transparency and awareness.
All Starbucks locations now have coconut milk beverage and soymilk on hand for whipping up dairy-free lattes, mochas, and more. They also serve non-dairy almondmilk and oatmilk available, but at some locations this can change seasonally. The downside: you still have to pay extra for this “upgrade” in most countries. In 2023, Starbucks U.K. eliminated the surcharge, but North America has yet to follow suit.
But you must use caution with the add-ons. Syrup might seem like a dairy-free no-brainer, but a few Starbucks flavors contain milk. Not to mention the whipped cream toppers and powdered blenders. I created this guide to dairy-free syrups & sauces which is helpful at many coffee houses, but Starbucks uses their own in-house sauces and syrups. The following is a detailed list of their dairy-free drinks, add-ons, and how to order dairy-free Starbucks drinks!
Always relay your dietary needs to the staff, and confirm that your order is dairy free as needed. Ingredients are subject to change at any time, and different locations can have different levels of allergen safety. This is just a helpful guide for informational purposes only. Please kindly comment below if you see any menu changes.

* These menu items are not strictly vegan due to the addition of real honey.
**Caramel Drinks – I’ve listed some of their caramel drinks with a note to hold the caramel sauce. These particular drinks are made with additional syrups, like toffee nut syrup, so they are still unique even without the caramel sauce. You could also ask for a drizzle of caramel syrup instead, since it is dairy-free. Please note that the caramel syrup is not the same as the caramel sauce or the caramel drizzle.
***Several years ago, Starbucks reformulated their frappuccino formula to make it suitable for dairy-free and vegan visitors.

But Are They Allergy-Friendly?
I’ve heard many rumors about Starbucks changing their policies for handling allergens. As it turns out, they haven’t changed their processes, but they are trying to be more transparent. As before, pitchers should be rinsed and fresh pitchers can be requested, but the presence of milk is still abundant at each shop. Those with a severe milk allergy should use caution when ordering drinks and food, and might want to stick to safe pre-packaged and pre-bottled options. Or go basic with simple coffee or tea. You can also order flavor shots and milk alternatives, but request to stir yourself rather than having your drink shaken or steamed.
Here is their new allergen alert:
Starbucks reviews its practices on an ongoing basis to look for better ways to work and provide transparency to our customers and partners (employees). Starting July 10 [2018], Starbucks removed dairy labels from steaming and blending pitchers. Because our beverages are made using shared equipment (steaming wands, blender pitcher, rinsers) the removal of the sticker is more transparent and realistic of how the pitchers are used. As a beverage standard, our baristas use a rinsed pitcher for each handcrafted beverage. If you have questions or concerns, please ask your barista to remake the drink using a fresh pitcher and please remember that this does not guarantee that the beverage will be allergen-free.
Does Starbucks Offer Vegan Whipped Cream
In 2020, they tested vegan whipped cream in the UK, and it is still on the menu in many locations. In the U.S., they have sparsely begun testing a lentil-based, dairy-free whipped cream – rumor has it at just two locations in Washington state. If it becomes more widespread, we’ll update!
Dairy Free Starbucks Eats
On their website (below), Starbucks now includes allergen information for all of their standard food items. These can change often, but at last check, they listed the following items as not containing milk in the U.S (food items might vary in other countries).
Bakery Items
- Bagel, Everything (also vegan)
- Bagel, Plain (also vegan)
- Bagel, Sprouted Grain (also vegan; Canada only)
- Banana Walnut & Pecan Loaf
- Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf
- Blueberry Oat Cake (also vegan – exclusive to their Hawaii stores)
Heads Up: Starbucks was test marketing a vegan dark chocolate fudge brownie. At last check, it isn’t currently available, at least not in most stores. The double chocolate brownie that’s available in most stores does contain milk. vegan brownie listed above. Check to see which one your store carries before ordering!
Breakfast Items
- Rolled & Steel Cut Oatmeal (also vegan)
- Seasonal Fruit Blend (also vegan)
- Strawberry Overnight Grains (also vegan)
Heads Up: The only thing on the Impossible Breakfast Sandwich that is dairy-free is the patty. A vegan plant-based breakfast sandwich was test marketed, but it hasn’t been added to their permanent menu. All of their egg patties and several of their breads do contain milk.
Condiments
- Avocado Spread (also vegan)
Lunch (select locations)
- Chickpea Bites & Avocado Protein Box (also vegan)
RIP: Unfortunately, the Chicken & Fig Spread Sandwich, Egg Salad Sandwich, and Honey BBQ Sriracha Chicken Sandwich appear to be discontinued.
Heads Up! Many components on Starbucks sandwiches, beyond the cheese, contain milk. The naan in the Chicken & Hummus box does contain milk.
Pre-Packaged Goodies
Depending on the location, you might find vegan chips, That’s It Bars, This Bar Saves Lives, Kind bars, and Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut and Almond Butter Cups. And they have Justin’s Classic Almond Butter and Chocolate Hazelnut Butter single-serve packets for topping their bagels. Starbucks also released 3D Dream Pops made with non-dairy ice cream. But they were initially launched in just five Los Angeles area locations. Hopefully the distribution expands!
For grab-and-go, pre-packaged drinks, Evolution Fresh juices are available. Most of the smoothies from this brand now contain milk, but it looks like Starbucks is no longer carrying the smoothies. Either way, stick to their bottled juices (not protein drinks) and verify the ingredients.
Starbucks has also released some dairy-free coffee beverages and creamers for at-home enjoyment. These products are primarily sold in grocery stores, not Starbucks stores. They include Oatmilk Cold Brew Bottles, Oatmilk Frappuccinos, and Almond & Oatmilk Creamers.
Dairy-Free Starbucks at Home
The Starbucks at Home line now includes a great range of products that you can buy at the store. All of these are sold at grocers, and are not available at Starbucks coffee shops.
- Starbucks Non-Dairy Creamers – These popular creamers have stuck around for several years. Their current flavors include Caramel, Hazelnut, and a seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte.
- Oatmilk Cold Brew – Their multi-serve cold brew is available in one lightly creamy, dairy-free variety: Dark Chocolate.
- Oatmilk Frappuccinos – Starbucks dairy-free, single serve drinks have come and gone from the market with some regularity. Their current offerings are these creamy oatmilk blends in Caramel Cookie Waffle and Dark Chocolate Brownie.

Cross Contamination Not worth it
As other reviewers have said they don’t clean the carafes and pitchers used to make the drinks, so you’re going to get “dairied” regardless of what you do, even with the teas. I’m going to consume only the pre-bottled or canned drinks and Lee-packaged foods from now on.
Response from Go Dairy Free
As detailed, the pitchers are used for steaming. You can get several iced drinks, made in the cup, with the milk alternative and syrups poured directly from the package. The coffee itself is also brewed without milk, and you can add just milk beverage and syrups without having it steamed or heated.
Great experience with lovely flavour.
We enjoyed the service given and the understanding of our allergies from the young lady serving us.
Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf Not Diary Free
Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf has buttermilk per starbucks allergen guide for fall
Response from Go Dairy Free
Hi John, I think you are looking at the fall guide for the U.K. Their Pumpkin Loaf Cake does contain buttermilk. But we verified that the Pumpkin Pepita Loaf in the U.S. is still made without dairy. If you have information to the contrary, please send us that information specifically (the source) and we will review and research it further, if needed. Thank you!
Born allergic to Dairy
I worked at Starbucks for a year and a half. It was a bad decision not knowing the outcome of my allergies and working in an environment of steamed milk on a daily basis. I learned quickly I could not make drinks or do dishes. I would work the register and the lobby. I learned about ingredients and the foods served there. Steamed drinks are still contaminated with dairy products. The ones are not cleaned enough to not contaminate a drink. I learned to order my drink with hot water instead of steamed non-dairy milk. I became hypersensitive to other Foods. I was covered in hives from head to toe. Once I left I slowly started to heal from the exposure of being in an environment of steamed milk for a year and a half. I never go to Coffee Bean because of their powdered products have dairy and I have been served drinks that make me sick.
Dairy free
I have recently develop dairy intolerance and this help to make my drink choice as starbucks has been my fave all the time when travelling
Best site!!!
My toddler has a dairy issue and it’s sooo unbelievably easy to search what we’re eating out on this site to see what he can/cannot eat. Thank you so much for providing this, the best!!!
Amazing Info
This site is a go-to whenever I eat out. The accuracy of the information has never led me astray and has allowed me to take my dairy allergy out of the driver’s seat.
Difficult to eat dairy free at Starbucks!
I love dairy however it doesn’t like me! My allergy to Casein, a protein in dairy, triggers reactions ranging from sinus congestion to asthma like wheezing, diarrhea and vomiting. Starbucks does not offer many food items that don’t contain cheese or milk and frequently ignore my request to delete the cheese in my breakfast sandwich before heating and either leave it on or peel off the melted cheese when it is melted and has already left the Casein residue. I don’t appreciate the resulting reaction while driving to my next sales call. I wish they had more dairy free food items because they have great coffee!
Oat milk not gluten-free
Very disappointed as I’ve been told over and over again that the oat milk is gluten free and it’s not, I have celiac disease and can’t have gluten, if Starbucks is so inclusive then don’t forget that there is a lot of people with this disease
Low Protein free items ?
My son has a strict diet which consists on dairy free and low protein items ? Is helpful but always looking if the are higher in protein !
Make Starbucks-Worthy Drinks & Baked Goods with Go Dairy Free!
29 Comments
There is no dairyfree sugar free options would go more drinks needed went to disney starbucks wanted a drink with my friends blended they wouldn’t do it only the sugar daryfree it did to get a blended drink
then i was sick on ttip thst shouldn’t be that way for customers
Such a shame Starbucks got rid of the macadamia cranberry vegan cookie. That was the best! Not too many dairy free, quick grab baked goods. Wish this is something they would work on this year.
I know! I didn’t even find it myself before it disappeared. I think they didn’t have enough sales because they didn’t stock it in enough places! Fingers crossed for more options.
I work at a Starbucks in Canada and the risk is very high if you have a dairy allergy. The tongs for hot food that are used often have just been used on a panini with cheese and the pitchers are indeed just rinsed with water between drinks. Both are washed and sanitized well throughout the day and you can ask your barista to use a clean one if they are available in the back, straight out of the dishwasher, but this is not always available, especially when it’s busy.
I work at Starbucks and many Canadian locations have lactose free milk (which is just regular milk with the lactase enzyme added to help those who suffer from lactose intolerance digest it with ease) and unfortunately though, we do not carry lactose free cream in any form.
Due to cross contamination I just order a coffee and get it from the cashiers. I don’t think I would survive any of their specialty drinks or food based on observations of their food/beverage handling. Bagged or bottled with ingredients listed only for me.
Yes, as noted in the post above on their allergen processes, there is risk. I also just order tea. Most dairy-free consumers order iced versions made in cup with the milk beverages and syrups listed to avoid cross-contamination as much as possible. They do have several drinks that they can make in cup, without using any shared equipment or tools.
But is starbucks going to continue to charge more for those wanting non dairy milk?
I feel as if I am being penalized?
I really can’t say. It would be nice, but it will mostly likely come down to profitability. The surcharge is usually cost based. The quantities of milk that they buy are much, much higher than each type of non-dairy milk that they purchase. So it’s likely that the dairy milk costs them significantly less.
Check the mocha sauce now. I always get a large soya hot chocolate but was told the other day that the new mocha sauce/syrup now contains dairy.
I literally just updated this post about 2 weeks ago, and I just now double checked, and according to Starbucks, my information is accurate. The mocha sauce is still dairy free. And they also just updated their website in the past couple of weeks. I’m not sure why the barista gave you that information. You might want to ask to see the bottle, since the information they are providing is that it is clearly dairy free by ingredients.
Small Correction: The Vanilla Bean Coconutmilk Latte (Iced or Hot) DOES contain dairy. The Vanillia Bean Powder is NOT dairy-free. As does the Caramel topping to the Cinnamon Almond Milk Macchiato.
Keep up the good work, though!
Hi Dustin, we were told the vanilla bean powder is dairy-free, and no dairy is listed in those drinks online. I confirmed this previously with Starbucks. It was actually released as a dairy-free and vegan drink. Can you tell me where you got this information about the vanilla bean powder? Here is one of the ingredient lists with the vanilla bean powder -> https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/espresso/vanilla-bean-coconutmilk-latte?foodZone=9999
And yes, the almond milk macchiato is not dairy-free. It isn’t on our list.
Thanks so much for sharing this info and keeping it updated. After reading about the most recent changes I’ve decided not to go to Starbucks anymore. I have a dairy allergy, and the removal of the labels while understandable, does not fill me with confidence. And it costs too much for that, especially since the incredibly limited dairy free options are extra.
Completely understandable and happy I can help! I’m no longer a Starbucks visitor myself, so I completely understand. I will say that they are in a few tourist parks and can be helpful for pre-packaged snacks in a pinch.
I had a dairy free breakfast sandwich there that wasn’t on the menu and it was SO GOOD That i didn’t miss the cheese one bit! I think it was called SMOKED SHOULDER BREAKFAST SANDWICH.
That’s awesome! I wonder if they make it dairy-free locally for that store? They have a smoked shoulder sandwich listed online, but it contains dairy. I have heard that many items are made regionally or locally though.
Pumpkin spice lattes have dairy because they use sauce also for Christmas White Chocolate Peppermint Mochas have dairy. I was told any of the sauces have dairy in them, funny they don’t tell you this and I’m sure plants of people don’t know & they are drinking it.
The cinnamon almond milk Macciato is not dairy free. The Caramel sauce and topping have dairy.
The Cinnamon Dolce topping does not have dairy, though the Caramel Sauce does.
Thanks for keeping it up to date! Love this site.
Does Starbucks also have Gluten-free options like their drinks and foods (due to me being Gluten-free and Dairy-Free) because I find it hard when I go out for lunch and dinner with my family or out with friends to find a place that caters for both requirements or else I just don’t bother going to the place?
Erika, they might have ones locally (some stores carry local baked goods, too), but I don’t know of gluten-free options. They have a few packaged items, like bars, that are DF/GF, but I wouldn’t rely on them for full meals.
I am the same, it’s so difficult x
Just got off 2 different cruise line ships. Being both dairy free and gluten free posed challenges for them and me! Holland America always had almond milk available and a variety of bread, bagels, muffins. Princess did not, it was difficult, they think dairy free and lactose free are one in the same. The head chef in the dining room was helpful in making sure I did not receive anything with dairy in it. At the buffet, no desserts at all were dairy free, so I ate a lot of salads and no sweets.
Hi there do you you know if Starbucks have a lactos free whipped cream
Miss S.
They don’t offer dairy-free whipped cream, but I couldn’t tell you on lactose-free. I read that Peet’s has dairy-free whip though.
I work at Starbucks and many Canadian locations have lactose free milk (which is just regular milk with the lactase enzyme added to help those who suffer from lactose intolerance digest it with ease) and unfortunately though, we do not carry lactose free cream in any form.
I am so excited that Starbucks offer dairy-freel. My daughter took me there 3 days ago and said trust me Mom, you can drink this. She ordered me a mocha frappuccino w/ soy milk and I was in heaven! Mind you, I haven’t had anything like this in 40 years, when I found out i was lactose intolerant. Awesome! Now I called the Starbucks company today to find out if I can order this product (with soy) but to no avail. Disappointed for sure, so I’m gonna try to make my own, any suggestions!
