Do Starbucks Frappuccinos have caffeine?

How much caffeine is in a Starbucks Frappuccino?

The caffeine content of a Starbucks Frappuccino varies from 10 to 185mg of caffeine per serving:

• The Frappuccino with the lowest amount of caffeine is a Tall Chocolate cookie crumble crème Frappuccino.
• The Frappuccino with the highest caffeine content is a Venti Espresso Frappuccino.

As you can see, there’s quite a lot of caffeine in Frappuccinos. The amount of caffeine increases with the size of the drink.

When you start adding java chips or mocha sauce, you’ll also increase the amount of caffeine, but more on this later.

Below, you’ll find a complete overview of all the Starbucks Frappuccinos currently available. I pulled all the data from the Frappuccino section on Starbucks.com.

Which Frappuccinos have no caffeine?

So, you’re looking for a delicious Frappuccino without all the caffeine? You can do so by scanning the overview below:

Frappuccino name:	Caffeine?
Pumpkin spice crème Frappuccino	No
Apple crisp oatmilk crème Frappuccino	No
Caramel ribbon crunch crème Frappuccino	No
Strawberry crème Frappuccino	No
Vanilla bean crème Frappuccino	No
White chocolate crème Frappuccino	No

Keep in mind that the amount of caffeine may change when you start customizing your Frappuccino.

This is especially the case if you’re going to add chocolate to the mix. Chocolate also has caffeine, so if you want to avoid it altogether, you should avoid adding it to your drink.

If you want to know the updated amount of caffeine in your customized Frappuccino, you can check the Starbucks website before ordering or ask your barista.

Which coffee does Starbucks use in their Frappuccinos?

Starbucks uses a sweetened coffee-based Frappuccino syrup as a coffee flavoring, which they call Frappuccino Roast.

To figure out what the Frappuccino roast actually is and how Starbucks uses it in their drinks, I contacted their customer service to get to the bottom of this. You can read the chat below:

The Frappuccino Roast is the main coffee flavoring of all Frappuccinos. However, one option has espresso added to the mix: the espresso Frappuccino.

Along with the espresso Frappuccino, you can also get a coffee Frappuccino. If you’re like me, you probably want to know whether or not this option also uses brewed coffee as its basis.

This is why I contacted their customer service again and asked that same question, which you can read below:

As you can see, the only Frappuccino that uses espresso as its basis is the espresso Frappuccino (hence its name).

You can check out this in-depth guide to see all the Frappuccinos that use coffee as their basis (and those that don’t).
