Starbucks Decaf Drinks: Hot & Iced Coffee Orders to Copy

For a Starbucks coffee order with less caffeine, start with an espresso drink and ask for all shots to be decaf. That gives you hot and iced options without relying on a decaf cold brew. Decaf still contains some caffeine. These are guide recipes, and decaf espresso availability depends on your store.

How to order these without fumbling

  • Say all espresso shots decaf if you don't want any regular espresso in the drink.
  • A decaf iced Americano is an espresso-and-water alternative when decaf iced brewed coffee isn't available. It is not decaf cold brew.
  • Changing espresso to decaf does not remove caffeine from tea, matcha, a Refresher base or chocolate ingredients.
  • Ask whether Decaf Pike Place Roast is available if you want hot brewed coffee rather than espresso.
  • If avoiding caffeine matters for your health, confirm ingredients and preparation with the store rather than treating decaf as caffeine-free.
