Like many chain restaurants, Starbucks has a secret menu – a special offering of drinks that they will only make upon request, but are not openly advertised for sale. Many secret menus offer a smattering of choices, a few embellishments to top off regular menu options. Not so for Starbucks! Their secret menu has so many drinks, we stopped keeping count (but it’s north of 160). Seriously, brace yourself for the longest menu article of your life… and if you can’t find a drink in here that makes you want to run out to Starbucks right now, we can’t help you! This secret menu is so packed with incredible flavor combinations and ingenuous drink ideas that there’s a little something for everyone.
Please remember that because there are so many offerings from this secret menu, your barista might not know the drink you’d like by name. If you see a drink you’d like to try, take note of the recipes provided and politely instruct your barista if they are unfamiliar with what you’d like to order!

Olivia Simon, thank you!!! I had heard there was a secret menu at Starbucks but never knew how to figure out what was on it. This is an invaluable resource. I especially love that you include the ingredients to allow the savvy consumer to guide the barista who may not know all of these off-menu items. Next time I’m in I’ll be ordering up a Berry Hibiscus Passion Tea or a Tropical Elixir–both perfect for the sweltering summer days we’ve been having. I particularly appreciate the extensive research and great writing of Simon’s blogs. If you are like me and always looking for ways to order alternatives to the standard restaurant menu, check out Simon’s July 5th blog: The Entire Secret Menu of Chipotle.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We hope that you were able to use this to order something new and fun at Starbucks. Keep checking back for great posts from other writers from forknplate!
Wow! Who knew? I cannot believe the exhaustive research that went in to this article by Olivia Simon. I’m impressed that Starbucks has such an elaborate “secret menu”, but I’m more impressed with the mouth watering, detailed descriptions, pictures and the obvious time and effort put forth by this blogger. Thank you so much for this article. Well done!
Thanks for taking the time to read the whole thing! Let us know if you try any of the secret menu options, and what you like.
This is not a secret menu for Starbucks. This menu has been made by customers, baristas, etc from the ingredients that are available at Starbucks. Baristas do not know how to make these, and from looking at the ingredients these are recipes that use the old way of making frappucinos. Some of the recipes do not make any sense and would be

It does not list vanilla bean latte. One of my friends let me try theirs and it was awesome! But only a few stores make it and it’s not on the menu. Very disappointed to still not know what it is
dk what its called but white mocha frap + vanilla syrup + 1 shot of espresso + a couple espresso beans blended in 🙂 sounds crazy I didnt want to try it at first but glad i did its the only thing i order
Please include the apple chai, lemon bar frappuchino, and mint chip frappuchino. Apple chai is just steamed apple juice, add chai syrup (tastes like hot spiced cider and is fall in a cup). Mint chip is a vanilla bean frappuchino, add peppermint, Java chips, and macha (tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream)
