About the Caramel Macchiato
Steamed milk and vanilla syrup layered with espresso and finished with a caramel drizzle. Because the caramel sauce contains dairy, it can't be made vegan or dairy-free even with a plant-based milk.
One of Starbucks' most recognizable signature espresso drinks; its sweet vanilla-and-caramel profile makes it a go-to order for newcomers.

Nutrition data compiled from Starbucks public sources, as of 2026-07. Calorie and caffeine values are taken directly from Starbucks' own nutrition data (apiproxy), assuming default 2% milk for espresso drinks (whole milk for Flat White, 2% milk + whipped cream for PSL). Choosing a different milk changes the calories. Prices are not published by Starbucks and vary by location; third-party aggregators disagreed by over $1 for the same drink, so all prices are intentionally left out rather than estimated.
