How to Order the Caffè Latte
To order a Starbucks Caffè Latte, simply ask for it by name at the counter or drive-thru, or search for “Caffè Latte” in the Starbucks app. Let the barista know your preferred size, milk choice, and any extra customizations such as more or less syrup, decaf, or added espresso shots.

What Does the Caffè Latte Taste Like?
A Caffè Latte tastes mellow and creamy. The espresso is clearly there, but a generous pour of steamed milk softens it into a gentle, roasty flavor with a hint of natural milk sweetness instead of sharp bitterness. The thin cap of foam keeps the first sip silky rather than airy, which is why the latte is the usual starting point for anyone new to espresso drinks.
What Is in the Caffè Latte?
It is built from freshly pulled espresso shots topped with steamed milk and a light layer of foam. Starbucks steams 2% milk by default, and a hot Grande normally gets two shots, so the cup is milk-forward with a clear coffee backbone. Nothing sweet is added unless you request a syrup.
How to Customize the Caffè Latte
- Swap the default milk for oat, almond, soy or coconut milk to change both the texture and the calorie count.
- Add a pump of vanilla, caramel or hazelnut syrup if you want a flavored latte, or leave it plain to keep it unsweetened.
- Ask for an extra shot for a stronger coffee flavor, or choose blonde espresso for a smoother, lighter taste.
- Request a lower temperature if you plan to drink it quickly, or extra hot if you sip slowly.
Caffè Latte vs Cappuccino
A Cappuccino uses less milk and a much deeper layer of foam, so it feels lighter and tastes more like coffee. The latte is smoother, creamier and easier to sip steadily. Pick the latte for a mellow drink; pick the cappuccino if you like a stronger espresso taste and a foamy texture.
On this site, the Caffè Latte is listed at about $4.65 (190 Cal) and the Cappuccino at about $4.45 (120 Cal), so the Caffè Latte costs about $0.20 more and has 70 more calories. Prices and calories vary by store and size. See the full Cappuccino page for details.

Caffè Latte FAQs
How many espresso shots are in a Caffè Latte?
A hot Tall usually has one shot, while Grande and Venti normally have two. You can ask the barista to add or remove shots at any size.
Is a Caffè Latte sweet?
Not by itself. The only sweetness comes from the natural sugars in the milk. Flavored lattes such as vanilla or caramel add syrup on top of that.
Can I order a Caffè Latte iced?
Yes. Ask for an Iced Caffè Latte and it is made with espresso, cold milk and ice instead of steamed milk and foam.
