Tips for Ordering From the Starbucks Menu for Kids
Here are some tips for ordering kid's drinks at Starbucks:
- Some drinks on the Starbucks menu for kids can be very high in sugar. If you feel the sugar is too much for your kid, ask the barista to reduce the syrup.
- Starbucks offers different cup sizes for hot and cold beverages. For hot beverages, order a Short (8 ounces), and for cold beverages, order a Tall (12 ounces).
- Let the barista know if you are ordering a hot drink for your little one. Tell them to make it “kid's temperature,” and they'll heat it to 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If your kid is not ready for caffeine, you might want to avoid the Starbucks Refreshers menu. Drinks like the Strawberry Acai Lemonade contain about 45 mg of caffeine per drink.
- Apart from cow's milk, Starbucks offers coconut milk, soy milk, almond milk, and oat milk. So if your kid doesn't take dairy products, tell the Starbucks barista to use one of the non-dairy milk we've mentioned.
