Starbucks Frappuccino Menu UK 2026: All Flavours, Prices & Calories
Frappuccinos are Starbucks’ signature blended iced drinks — they’re thick, sweet, cold, and closer to a milkshake than a coffee. Some have coffee in them, some don’t. They’re the most expensive drinks on the menu but also some of the most popular, especially in summer and among younger customers.
This guide covers every Frappuccino available at Starbucks UK in 2025, with prices, calories, what’s inside each one, and which ones are actually worth the money. For the full drinks menu, see our Starbucks drinks menu UK page.
What Is a Frappuccino?
A Frappuccino is a trademarked blended drink made by Starbucks. It’s not available at any other coffee chain — the name belongs to Starbucks. Think of it as a coffee milkshake: ice, milk, flavour syrups, and sometimes coffee, all blended together into a thick, smooth drink and topped with whipped cream.
There are two types. Coffee Frappuccinos contain Starbucks’ Frappuccino roast coffee and have caffeine. Cream Frappuccinos have no coffee at all — they’re basically flavoured milkshakes. Both types come with whipped cream on top as standard.
Frappuccinos are the most expensive drinks on the Starbucks menu. A Grande starts at £5.55 and can go up to £8.35 for seasonal specials. They’re also the highest in calories — most are 300–430 kcal. They’re best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a daily coffee. If you’re watching calories, see our calories guide for lower-calorie alternatives.
Coffee Frappuccinos (With Caffeine)
These Frappuccinos are made with Starbucks’ Frappuccino roast coffee blended with milk, ice, and flavour syrups. They have caffeine — roughly 65–95mg per Grande depending on the flavour. All come with whipped cream on top unless you ask for “no whip.”
1 Caramel Frappuccino
Coffee, milk, ice, and caramel syrup blended together, topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. The best-selling Frappuccino in the UK. Sweet, smooth, and the caramel drizzle makes it feel like a treat. If you’ve never had a Frap before, start here — it’s the crowd favourite for a reason.
2 Java Chip Frappuccino
Mocha sauce, chocolate chips (Java Chips), coffee, milk, and ice blended with whipped cream and mocha drizzle on top. Has actual crunchy chocolate pieces in it that give it texture. The richest, most indulgent Frappuccino on the menu. It’s like drinking a blended brownie with coffee. Highest caffeine of any Frap too.
3 Mocha Frappuccino
Coffee, mocha sauce, milk, and ice blended with whipped cream. Classic chocolate-coffee combo without the chips. Smoother than the Java Chip and about 65 fewer calories. The best option if you want chocolate flavour but don’t want it to feel as heavy as the Java Chip.
4 Coffee Frappuccino
The simplest, cheapest Frappuccino on the menu. Just coffee, milk, ice, and a touch of sugar blended together with whipped cream. No extra syrups or sauces. You actually taste the coffee in this one, not just sweetness. Best value on the entire Frap menu at £5.55 and the lowest calories of any Coffee Frap at 299 kcal.
5 White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
White chocolate sauce, coffee, milk, and ice blended with whipped cream. Incredibly sweet and creamy — the white chocolate gives it a vanilla-like richness that’s different from regular mocha. One of the highest calorie Fraps. Best for anyone with a serious sweet tooth.
6 Blonde Espresso Frappuccino
Made with Starbucks’ lighter Blonde espresso instead of the regular Frappuccino roast. Smoother, less bitter, and dramatically lower in calories than other Fraps — just 143 kcal vs 300+ for most others. The healthiest Coffee Frappuccino by far. If you want a Frap but don’t want the calorie guilt, this is your pick.
Cream Frappuccinos (No Coffee)
Cream Frappuccinos have no coffee in them — they’re basically flavoured milkshakes blended with ice. Zero caffeine from coffee (though matcha and chai versions have some naturally from tea). Perfect for kids, non-coffee drinkers, or anyone who just wants something cold and sweet.
7 Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino
Strawberry sauce, milk, and ice blended with whipped cream. Basically a pink strawberry milkshake. The most popular non-coffee Frappuccino. Bright pink colour makes it Instagram-worthy. No caffeine at all — safe for kids. This is the go-to order for children and teenagers at Starbucks.
8 Caramel Cream Frappuccino
Caramel syrup, milk, and ice blended with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. Same gorgeous caramel taste as the Coffee version but without the coffee. Sweet, buttery, and indulgent. Perfect if you love caramel but don’t want caffeine.
9 Vanilla Cream Frappuccino
Vanilla syrup, milk, and ice blended with whipped cream. Simple, clean vanilla flavour. This is the base drink for loads of secret menu drinks — baristas start with this and add syrups to create drinks like the Cotton Candy Frappuccino, Butterbeer Frappuccino, and more.
10 Matcha Green Tea Cream Frappuccino
Matcha powder, milk, vanilla, and ice blended with whipped cream. Bright green colour that looks stunning. The matcha gives it a unique earthy sweetness that’s completely different from coffee-based Fraps. Note: this does have caffeine (~70mg) from the matcha, even though it’s a “Cream” Frappuccino.
11 Double Chocolatey Chip Frappuccino
Mocha sauce, chocolate chips, milk, and ice blended with whipped cream. Like the Java Chip but without the coffee base. Maximum chocolate overload — chocolate sauce AND chocolate chips. The highest calorie Cream Frappuccino on the menu at 403 calories. Pure indulgence.
More Cream Frappuccinos
Other Cream Frappuccinos include: Chocolate Cream (346 kcal), Chai Cream (319 kcal, ~50mg caffeine from chai), White Chocolate Cream (367 kcal), and Cookies & Cream (387 kcal). All are £5.95 for a Grande and come with whipped cream. Seasonal options rotate throughout the year — the Toffee Nut and Gingerbread Frappuccinos appear in winter, and Ube Vanilla appeared for spring 2025.

How to Customise Your Frappuccino
Frappuccinos are some of the most customisable drinks at Starbucks. Here are the changes you can make:
Milk: Swap to oat, almond, coconut, or soya milk (no extra charge). Almond milk saves the most calories.
Whipped cream: Ask for “no whip” to save ~80 calories. Or ask for extra whip if you’re treating yourself.
Syrup pumps: Ask for fewer pumps to reduce sweetness and calories. A Grande normally gets 3–4 pumps. Try 2 pumps instead.
Extra espresso: Add an extra shot to any Coffee Frap for about 60p. Makes it stronger and more coffee-forward.
Toppings: Add caramel drizzle, mocha drizzle, chocolate chips, or cookie crumbles for extra flavour.
Make it “light”: Ask for a “light” Frappuccino — the barista will use nonfat milk and no whipped cream, cutting about 100+ calories.
The Vanilla Cream Frappuccino is the base for dozens of secret menu drinks. Add raspberry syrup to make a Cotton Candy Frap. Add caramel + toffee nut syrup for a Butterbeer Frap. The possibilities are endless.
