Frappuccino Menu at Starbucks

The difference comes down to one ingredient. Coffee Frappuccinos are blended with a coffee concentrate, so they carry caffeine. Crème Frappuccinos skip the coffee and use a milky base, so they have little to none. Both get ice, milk, flavor and whipped cream. The extras on top, such as drizzles, crunchy toppings and cookie pieces, are added after blending, which is why you can ask to leave any of them off.

Shoppers often search for the second kind by its cream name, and the menu spells it with an accent as "Crème." Same idea, different spelling. If you cannot tell which base a drink uses, look at its name: "Crème" in the title means no coffee.

What makes the texture so smooth? The blend usually relies on a thickening agent such as xanthan gum, which keeps the ice and liquid from separating. That is why the drink stays thick and spoonable for so long, and why you cannot recreate it by pouring coffee over ice. The base is also sweetened, so even a plain coffee version lands closer to dessert than to a morning coffee.

Caffeine figures are published estimates and differ by a few milligrams between sources. Check the nutrition page in the app for your exact drink and size.

Cream Based Frappuccino Starbucks Drinks and Who They Suit

A crème drink is the right call when you want the cold, creamy texture without the coffee. Vanilla Bean, Strawberry, Lavender, Pistachio, Horchata and Orange Cream all come in crème form, and each one is sweet, light in color and topped with whipped cream.

They suit kids, evening drinkers and anyone who wants dessert without a caffeine buzz. If you change your mind midway, you can ask to add a shot of espresso to a crème drink, which turns it into a mild coffee blend. The Vanilla Bean flavor page shows the simplest crème drink in detail.

Eight flavors have their own page on this site. Each page goes deep on ingredients, caffeine, sizes and ordering, so the notes here are short.

Starbucks menu for Frappuccinos, by flavor:

How should you choose? Start with your mood. If you want chocolate, go with Mocha or Mocha Cookie Crumble. If you want something buttery and sweet, pick Caramel or Caramel Ribbon Crunch. If you want no coffee at all, pick Vanilla Bean or Strawberry Crème. Each flavor page lists the exact ingredients, so you can compare before you order.

Smores and Unicorn are limited-time drinks, so you may not find them on today's board. Java Chip is a special case. It was one of 13 drinks Starbucks removed in March 2025, so it may only appear if it returns. The core drinks now are Caramel, Mocha, Caramel Ribbon Crunch, Vanilla Bean and Strawberry Crème, though even those can vary by store.

List of Frappuccinos at Starbucks by Base and Flavor Family

Think of the whole lineup as six families. Use this as a quick index.

• Caramel: Caramel and Caramel Ribbon Crunch
• Chocolate: Mocha and Mocha Cookie Crumble, plus Java Chip and Double Chocolaty Chip Crème, which were cut in March 2025
• Vanilla and cream: Vanilla Bean Crème, Orange Cream and Lavender Crème
• Fruit: Strawberry Crème
• Nut and spice: Pistachio, Pistachio Crème, Horchata and Horchata Crème
• Seasonal: Pumpkin Spice, Smores and other limited releases

Not every drink is listed in every store. The app shows what your nearest location can make today.

Chocolate is the biggest family, and the drinks inside it are easy to mix up. The Double Chocolaty Chip Crème was the coffee-free chocolate-chip drink, built from chocolate flavor, chips, milk and ice. Mocha is the plain chocolate-and-coffee blend. Java Chip is mocha with chocolate chips added. Mocha Cookie Crumble adds cookie pieces on top.

The chocolate comes from two places. Mocha sauce gives the smooth, liquid chocolate flavor, while the chips add small bits you can feel as you sip. A drink with chips tastes richer and has more texture, and it usually carries a little more caffeine than the same drink without them, since chocolate adds a small amount. Both it and Java Chip were among the 13 drinks Starbucks removed on March 4, 2025, and our delivery-app data does not list them, so confirm in the app before you plan on either.

If you like the idea of chocolate with no coffee, read the Java Chip details and then ask whether a store can build a crème version. For the plainest version, the Mocha Frap guide explains exactly what goes in the cup.

Starbucks Chocolate Frappuccino Options Explained

To tell whether a chocolate drink has coffee, read the name. "Mocha" and "Java Chip" mean coffee is in the blend. "Crème" or "Double Chocolaty Chip Crème" means it is not. When you order, say the base out loud, as in "a Grande Java Chip" for the coffee drink or "a Grande Double Chocolaty Chip Crème" for the one without. That one sentence saves a lot of confusion at the counter.

Frappuccinos are not the only cold drinks that go through a blender. In some regions people say "frappe" for any blended coffee, and in that loose sense the starbucks frappe menu is simply the full lineup of Frappuccinos, coffee and crème. The drinks below are different. Starbucks has offered blended Refreshers, such as a blended Strawberry Lemonade, in warm months. These swap coffee and milk for fruit flavor and lemonade or water, which makes them lighter and less creamy.

Here are blended drinks at Starbucks compared with a standard Frap:

The key difference is how the drink feels. A Frap coats your mouth, while a blended Refresher feels more like a slushy. If you are choosing between them on a hot day, the fruit drink is lighter and the creamy one is richer. Availability changes by season and store, so look in the app instead of assuming. If you want a fruit drink over ice with no blending, the Refreshers page covers the shaken versions, and the energy options and caffeine page covers the higher-caffeine ones. For a view of every family, see the all Starbucks drink families guide.

You will not find an Oreo, Twix or Butterbeer drink on the board. They are custom orders that fans invented and shared online. A barista builds them from regular ingredients, so the result depends on the store, the person and what is in stock. Some baristas will gladly try, and others may decline.

Searches for an Oreo Frappuccino Starbucks menu item come up empty for that reason. The closest official drink is the Mocha Cookie Crumble, which already has cookie pieces and chocolate. If you still want the viral version, a common fan build starts with a crème base, adds chocolate chips and mocha drizzle, and is finished with whipped cream. Ask for it as a list of changes, not by the nickname, because the nickname means nothing to the register.

A tip that helps every time: order from the base drink you want to change, then list your additions in a clear order. For example, "Grande Caramel with mocha sauce and extra drizzle" is easy for a barista to follow. A vague nickname leaves them guessing, and the result may not match the picture you saw online. Prices for custom orders add up quickly, since each extra pump, chip or drizzle can cost more. The app shows the total before you pay. For more ideas, browse the secret menu ideas page.

Twix Starbucks Frappuccino and Butterbeer Recipes in Brief

A Twix order is usually a caramel-based drink with mocha sauce or chocolate added, topped with caramel and chocolate drizzle. The idea is chocolate, caramel and a cookie-like sweetness in one cup.

A Butterbeer order is typically a crème base flavored with caramel and toffee nut syrups, then topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. Syrup availability differs by season, so it may not work everywhere. Treat both as fan recipes, not official ones.

Nutella Frappuccino Starbucks Orders and Why They Vary

A Nutella order is typically a mocha blend with hazelnut syrup added, if your store stocks it. Hazelnut is not on every menu all year, so one store may say yes and another may say no. Expect the flavor to be close to chocolate-hazelnut spread, not identical.

Caffeine depends on the base, then on size. Coffee drinks carry caffeine from the concentrate in the base, while crème drinks carry almost none. Published Grande estimates for coffee drinks land between about 90 and 110 mg, with sources differing by flavor and by a few milligrams.

Size matters because a bigger cup holds more blended base. A Tall has the least caffeine and a Venti the most, though the jump between sizes is smaller than the jump in a brewed coffee. For comparison, a Grande brewed coffee runs around 310 mg, so a coffee blend is gentler than a regular cup. A Tall carries less than a Grande, and a Venti carries more. Adding an espresso shot adds about 75 mg. If you want it caffeine free, order a crème drink and do not add shots.

Frappuccinos come in three sizes: Tall (12 oz), Grande (16 oz) and Venti (24 oz). Short is not offered for blended drinks. A Tall is plenty for a sweet treat, and a Grande is the usual order. The full cup size chart shows every size across the menu. Because blended drinks are served in clear cold cups with a dome lid for the whipped cream, the Venti is the large 24 oz cold cup, bigger than a hot Venti.

You can change most parts of the drink:

• Milk: whole is standard, but you can swap to nonfat, 2%, oat, almond, coconut or soy.
• Whipped cream: ask for none to cut calories and sugar.
• Drizzle: ask for light, extra or none.
• Syrup: ask for fewer pumps to make it less sweet.
• Shots: add espresso to a crème drink or an extra shot to a coffee one.
• Affogato style: a hot shot of espresso poured over the top, so it melts into the cream.

Fans use the nickname "fraps," and the starbucks menu fraps are easy to adjust once you know the levers. Start with one change, taste it, then tweak next time.
