Frequently Asked Questions

Which has more caffeine, a Starbucks or Dunkin Cappuccino?

A Dunkin' Cappuccino has more: about 166 mg at a Medium (14 oz), versus 150 mg for the Starbucks Cappuccino at a Grande (16 oz). Keep in mind the two chains pour different cup sizes, so this compares each chain's standard serving rather than an identical volume.

Which Cappuccino has the fewest calories?

The Dunkin' Cappuccino is the lightest of the ones we compared, at 120 calories for a Medium (14 oz) — compared with 140 at Starbucks, 120 at Tim Hortons. Calories assume the default milk; switching to nonfat or a plant milk, or skipping any whipped topping, lowers the count at every chain.

Are the sizes the same across chains?

No — each chain uses its own size names and volumes, so the figures above are for each chain's reference serving: Starbucks at a Grande (16 oz), Dunkin' at a Medium (14 oz), Tim Hortons at a Medium (14 oz). Because the cups differ in ounces, compare per-serving totals with that in mind rather than assuming an identical pour.
