New Caramel Protein

Four beverages are displayed on a wooden table: a green matcha latte in a clear mug, an iced coffee, a latte with latte art in a blue cup, and a green iced drink.

Two new caramel protein beverages, Caramel Protein Matcha and Caramel Protein Latte, are joining the year-round menu. Both beverages can be crafted with classic caramel or new sugar-free caramel syrup and are available hot or iced.

Inspired by the luxurious chocolate bar and Starbucks most viral drinks of 2025, two new Dubai Chocolate drinks are officially joining the Starbucks menu for a limited time this winter.

Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha:

Combines Starbucks vibrant unsweetened matcha, pistachio sauce, milk and ice, topped with silky chocolate cream cold foam and a salted brown-buttery topping.

Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha:

Brings together Starbucks Espresso Roast, chocolate mocha sauce and milk over ice, with pistachio cream cold foam and a salted brown-buttery topping.

Popular Pistachio Returns

Three coffee drinks are displayed on a wooden table: a small glass of iced coffee, a tall glass with layered cold brew, and a green cup of a creamy beverage, all topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Starbucks beloved pistachio flavor is back, and starting this year, it will stay on the menu long after the snow has melted, giving customers the chance to enjoy this cozy flavor in their favorite beverage or as a cold foam throughout the year. Starbucks will also offer the following beverages on the winter menu:

Pistachio Cortado: Served in an 8-ounce short cup, the newest addition to the cortado lineup starts with three bold and slightly sweeter ristretto shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso which complements the sweet flavors of pistachio and steamed milk and is finished with a salted brown-buttery topping.

Pistachio Cream Cold Brew: Made with Starbucks signature cold brew and vanilla syrup, topped with pistachio cream cold foam and salted brown-buttery sprinkles.

Pistachio Latte: Pairs sweet pistachio sauce with espresso, milk and a dusting of a salted brown-buttery topping. Available hot and iced.

Pistachio Frappuccino®: Icy-smooth and creamy blended beverage combines sweet pistachio flavor with coffee, milk and ice, and is finished with whipped cream and a salted brown-buttery topping. For a similar beverage crafted without coffee, customers can order a Pistachio Crème Frappuccino.

New Food

New Truffle, Mushroom & Brie Egg Bites: Joining the menu for a limited time, featuring cage-free eggs combined with black truffles, creamy brie and mushrooms cooked “sous-vide,” a cooking technique that creates a velvety texture full of flavor.

Also coming to Starbucks are two flavors of Ellenos Greek Yogurt. No Added Sugar Muesli yogurt is carefully crafted with unsweetened yogurt and no-sugar-added muesli topper – the blend of creamy and crunchy textures delivers a burst of flavor and protein in every bite. Strawberry Shortcake yogurt embodies the essence of a classic American treat. Topped with a buttery cookie crumble, this yogurt offers a protein-packed twist on a beloved dessert.
