Starbucks has tons of vegan options, but if you are not familiar with the menu or don’t have time to look up every single ingredient to each drink, I’m here to help you! I will tell you want drinks to stay away and want drinks that are yummy and vegan!
This post contains Vegan drinks, Seasonal Vegan Drinks, Non-Vegan drinks, Non-Dairy milks at Starbucks, and Vegan food options!
VEGAN DRINKS
These drinks will be your go-to when heading to Starbucks. Note: Drinks like hot and iced teas, tea lemonades, and refreshers don’t come with milk so for the rest of the drinks, you will need to let them know which non-dairy milk you would like.

How to order a vegan Caramel Macchiato
Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks is a layered drink that can come hot or iced. The drink comes with espresso, milk, vanilla syrup, and caramel drizzle. Since the caramel drizzle has dairy in it, you would have to order it without the caramel, but I have a way to save you money and have it be vegan!

What non-dairy milks does Starbucks have?
Starbucks has four non-dairy milks! Soy, Coconut, Almond and in Spring 2021, they are adding the fourth one… Oatly’s Oat milk!
For more information on the non-dairy milks, check out my post!
Does Starbucks have Vegan food?
Yes, they do! You will need to stay away from all of the pastries, breakfast sandwiches (even their Impossible Meat sandwich because it has cheese, egg and the bread has animal product), and lunch sandwiches.
But there is a handful of food items that you can get no matter what time of day it is!
- Bagels (Plain, Cinnamon Raisins, and Sprouted Grain – stay away from the everything bagel)
- Avocado Spread (Great on the plain or sprouted grain bagels!)
- Classic Oatmeal (it comes with brown sugar, mixed nuts, and dried oatmeal – you can get it with hot water or ask for a steamed non-dairy of your choice!)
- Hearty Blueberry Oatmeal (it comes with blueberries, agave, and a fruit, seed, and nut mix.)
- Strawberry Overnight Grains (it is made with coconut milk!)
- PB&J Protein Box (just stay away from the string cheese, Greek yogurt ranch dipping sauce and the chocolate covered raisins)
- Peter Rabbit Organics (Apple and Grape or Strawberry and Banana)
- Hippeas (White Cheddar)
- Simply Salted Kettle Potato Chips
