Caffeine-Free at Starbucks

Even though Starbucks is a coffee shop, there are multiple caffeine-free drink options available.

Caffeine is a stimulant that can keep you awake and alert, which is great when you need to stay up, but not so great if you’re trying to go to sleep.

If you’re sensitive to caffeine, or just want to know which drinks to order that doesn’t caffeine, you’ve come to the right place! Here is a handy list of caffeine-free drinks available at Starbucks.

Tips for Ordering Caffeine-Free Drinks

  • Decaf has caffeine
    Starbucks has both decaf espresso and decaf coffee, but know that decaf still has some trace amounts of caffeine. There’s about 25 mg in a grande size decaf coffee and 12 mg for every shot of decaf espresso. You can customize your drink so if you want a half-caf drink or maybe want a decaf coffee but with a splash of regular coffee, you can do that easily. 
  • Refreshers contain caffeine
    Starbucks Refreshers like the Pink Drink are made with green coffee extract, which has about 35 mg of caffeine in each tall drink.
  • Chocolate contains caffeine
    Chocolate has a little bit of caffeine, but not as much as you’d get from a full cup of coffee. If you’ve eaten chocolate bars or chocolate candy and can tolerate the caffeine in those treats, you’ll likely be just fine ordering a hot chocolate. 
  • White chocolate contains no caffeine
    White chocolate doesn’t have caffeine like regular chocolate does.
  • Steamers have no coffee or caffeine
    Steamers are like a latte without any espresso, and the flavor options available for lattes are also available for steamers. 
  • Herbal teas contain no caffeine
    All other types of tea (black tea, green tea) has caffeine but herbal teas don’t. Starbucks has two herbal teas: Mint Majesty and Peach Tranquility. 
  • Almost all créme Frappuccinos have no caffeine
    The créme line of frappuccinos, like the Strawberries Créme Frappuccino, use a créme frappuccino base that doesn’t have any coffee. But watch out for the chai and matcha Frappuccinos which have caffeine.

Mint Majesty is mint-forward and great for when you have a cold or need to clear your head. It’s made with mint and lemon verbena, and you can add lemon or honey to make it extra special. 

Peach Tranquility
A fruiter tea made with peach, candied pineapple, chamomile blossoms, lemon verbena and rose hips. A common “secret menu” order is a Medicine Ball, which is made with a bag of the Peach Tranquility tea, one bag of the Jade Citrus tea (which is caffeinated), honey, and lemonade. 

Iced Passion Tango Tea
A slightly tart and refreshing iced tea made with a blend of hibiscus, lemongrass, and apple. This tea is only made iced. (You may want to stay away from this drink which includes hibiscus if you’re pregnant.)

Pineapple Coconut Green Smoothie
Pineapple, toasted coconut, kale, spinach, ice, and coconut milk are blended to make this smoothie.

Lemonade
Tangy iced lemonade can be ordered on its own. The lemonade is made with water, lemon juice, sugar, and lemon oil.

Caramel Apple Spice
Although you can get just straight apple juice, served hot or cold, what most people get is the Caramel Apple Spice, a delicious drink made with steamed apple juice, cinnamon dolce syrup, whipped cream, and a caramel drizzle. 

Steamed Apple Juice
Just 100% apple juice, not from concentrate, that has been freshly steamed. Ask for it to be kid’s temperature if you don’t want it too hot.

Secret Menu Caffeine-Free Drinks

Here are some customized drinks you can order that’s not on the official Starbucks menu.

Iced Apple Juice
Steamed apple juice is on the menu but not cold apple juice, but it’s something you can order with ice.

Peach Lemonade
Starbucks has a peach juice blend which you can add to lemonade for a sweet and tart drink.

Strawberry Lemonade
Mix strawberry puree and lemonade to make this tasty drink.

Iced Strawberry Milk
Since Starbucks carries both strawberry puree and milk, you can ask for the two ingredients shaken together over ice to make a customized drink that’s not on the regular menu.

Vanilla Milk
You can make any flavored steamer using any of the syrups Starbucks has for their other drinks, including vanilla. This would just be vanilla syrup and milk. You can ask for this hot or iced.

Water with Strawberry Inclusions
If you want to stay hydrated but don’t want plain water, ask for strawberry inclusions, which are freeze-fried strawberries.
