Breakfast at Starbucks
The breakfast case is the busiest part of the food menu and it is served all day while stock lasts. Breakfast Sandwiches are the core, Breakfast Wraps the heavier and lighter extremes, Egg Bites & Bakes the bread-free option, and More Breakfast Classics the oatmeal and yogurt shelf.
What is the healthiest breakfast?
Plain Rolled & Steel-Cut Oatmeal at 160 calories, then the Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites at 170 with 12 g of protein, then the Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap at 290 with 20 g.
What is the most filling?
The Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap at 640 calories and 27 g of protein, the largest single item on the whole food menu.
Is there breakfast after 11?
Yes. Starbucks has no breakfast cutoff, and the breakfast menu page covers what sells out and when.
Bakery
Croissants & Danishes, Loaves, Muffins, & Cakes and Bagels make up the bakery, baked off each morning and warmed on request. This is where the famous items live: the Iced Lemon Loaf, the Chocolate Croissant, the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin in the fall.
What is the lightest bake?
The Petite Vanilla Bean Scone at 140 calories, then the Butter Croissant at 250 and the Plain Bagel at 250, which is also the only vegan item on the shelf.
What pairs with a coffee?
A butter croissant with an Americano, the coffee cake with brewed coffee, the lemon loaf with a black coffee that can stand up to it. The sweet bakes are cake rather than breakfast and read best beside a plain cup.
Lunch
Lunch is Lunch Sandwiches served warm, Pockets in toasted lavash, and Protein Boxes eaten cold. It is available from opening, so a sandwich at 9 am is a normal order, and the case usually runs low by mid afternoon.
Which lunch has the most protein per dollar?
The Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket at 20 g for $5.15. The Ham & Swiss on Baguette carries the most protein outright at 25 g.
Is there a vegan lunch?
The Spicy Falafel Pocket at 230 calories is the vegan hot item. The Tomato & Mozzarella on Focaccia is the vegetarian sandwich.
Snacks and Treats
The snack wall is Protein & Snack Bars, Savory Snacks, Protein Popcorn, Sweet Snacks, Cheese & Fruit and the Spreads cup of avocado. The treats are Cake Pops and Cookies, Brownies, & Bars, the sweets by the register that are baked rather than packaged.
What is the lowest calorie snack?
The Organic Valley Stringles Mozzarella String Cheese and the Peter Rabbit Organics Strawberry Banana pouch, both 80 calories, then the SkinnyDipped Coconut Almond Bite.
What is the best treat with a drink?
A Chocolate Chip Cookie warmed, at 370 calories, or a Birthday Cake Pop at 160 for something small.

Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten-Free Food
- Vegetarian: most of the bakery, the Egg, Pesto & Mozzarella Sandwich, the Impossible Breakfast Sandwich, the egg bites, the protein boxes, the Tomato & Mozzarella on Focaccia and the Spicy Falafel Pocket.
- Vegan: the Plain Bagel, the Avocado Spread, plain oatmeal, the Spicy Falafel Pocket, the That's It fruit bars, the Siete chips and the Peter Rabbit Organics Strawberry Banana pouch.
- Gluten-free ingredients: the egg bites, the Marshmallow Dream Bar, the Chomps Original Beef Stick, the jerky, the chips, the popcorn, the fruit bars and the string cheese. Starbucks certifies none of them because the ovens and tongs are shared.
- Dairy free: the plain bagel, the pumpkin loaf, the oatmeal, the falafel pocket, the Koia shakes, the fruit bars and pouch, the chips and the jerky.
Is Starbucks Food Healthy?
Some of it. The breakfast case has real protein options under 300 calories, the snack wall has low-sugar bars and a fruit pouch, and the lunch case is moderate by chain standards. The bakery is where the calories are; every loaf and muffin is 350 calories or more with 25 to 36 g of sugar, and the cookies and brownies run higher. The honest rule is that the savory side of the menu is a meal and the sweet side is a treat, and the two should not be confused.
| Item | Calories | Sugar | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap | 640 | 2g | 33g |
| Cheese Trio Protein Box | 520 | 40g | 24g |
| Cheese Trio Protein Box | 520 | 40g | 24g |
| Crispy Grilled Cheese on Sourdough | 520 | 1g | 27g |
| Ham & Swiss on Baguette | 510 | 1g | 25g |
| Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich | 500 | 8g | 27g |
Allergy and Ingredient Note
Wheat, milk and egg run through nearly every hot item and the whole bakery. Tree nuts appear in the banana and pistachio loaves and many bars; peanuts in the Perfect Bars and CirC bites; sesame on the everything bagel and in the Impossible sandwich; soy in most bakes. Everything warm passes through the same oven and the same tongs, so cross contact is possible on any item, and the sealed snacks are the only things that avoid it. The allergen guide lists what Starbucks declares for every item.
