Top Dairy Free Starbucks Drinks by Sales and Menu Data
Starbucks added oat milk as a standard dairy alternative in the United States in early 2021, and it has since become the most ordered plant-based milk in U.S. company-operated stores. The Oatly Latte and Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso consistently rank among the highest-selling dairy-free beverages on the U.S. menu. Internationally, Starbucks offers almond milk and coconut milk in many markets, with availability varying by country and store type. According to Starbucks corporate reporting, oat milk now accounts for the largest share of plant-based milk purchases across key markets.

The company's dairy-free drink lineup is built around three core milks: oat, almond, and coconut. In the U.S., these milks are available as standard modifications at no upcharge for most handcrafted beverages. Starbucks also offers soy milk in select markets, though its U.S. availability has been limited in recent years. The Iced Oatmilk Honey Latte and the Oatmilk Matcha Latte are two of the fastest-growing dairy-free drinks in the U.S. company menu. These drinks are made with standard espresso, standard syrups, and the customer's chosen plant-based milk, with no proprietary formula changes.
