Not to be elitist about our coffee, but if your Starbucks order is boring then, boy, bye. It’s 2022 and there are too many amazing Starbucks options out there to order your coffee black. And social media makes it even more accessible, too—TikTokers and Instagram influencers are always sharing their fave secret drinks online. Some IGers even have their own orders! Are you finally ready to step up your Starbucks-ordering game? Check out the most frequently asked questions about the Starbucks Secret Menu drinks—plus, the most beloved Secret Menu drinks.

What Is the Starbucks Secret Menu?

The Starbucks Secret Menu is just what it sounds like—it’s like a speakeasy menu that you have to know about in order to order. There’s no physical menu for the Secret Menu—you just have to know what to ask for.

How Do You Order Starbucks Secret Menu Drinks?

To order an item from the Starbucks Secret Menu, you should look it up online beforehand (we’ve listed several of the most popular drinks below, so scroll down to that if you need) that way you know what to ask for in advance. (Because let’s be honest—most baristas don’t have the Secret Menu items memorized!) The number of Secret Menu drinks at Starbucks is endless and not every location will know the name of a drink. For that reason, if you want to order something off the Starbucks Secret Menu, you may have to tell your Starbucks barista what ingredients go in each drink—for example, how many pumps of each syrup, what flavors and extra shots, etc.

What’s the Lowest Carb Drink at Starbucks?

Counting calories? No worries—Starbucks still has options for you. Some low-carb drinks at Starbucks include fresh brewed coffee (such as Pike Place, Blonde Roast or Dark Roast), cold brew, espresso and unsweetened ice teas (like chai, green, black, white, earl gray, English breakfast and passion tango). Low-carb, keto-friendly add-ons include heavy cream (it has more fat than carbs) and almond milk (only about five grams of carbohydrates). The other plant-based milk options at Starbucks are pretty high in sugar, so steer clear of those if you can. For a low-carb drink, skip the sweetener, but if you’re desperate for a kick, add some Stevia. Don’t want to DIY your own low-carb drink? Try any one of these low-carb beverages that are also keto-friendly:

What Drinks Can I Get Skinny at Starbucks?

The “healthiest” drinks at Starbucks are all 100 calories or less and can be ordered as “Skinny.” In general, request your drink as “light” or “skinny,” tell your barista to reduce the amount of syrup, and hold the whip too. Here are some of the Starbucks drinks you can get skinny:
