Friend<\/strong>: Let’s take the kids and and go to Starbucks – they can play and we can chat!<\/p>\n

You<\/strong>: Ahhh….well…Let me get back to you in a few?<\/p>\n

Then you jump online to check what gluten free options (if any!) are at Starbucks! Because…hey, it’s been crazy finding out that gluten is in everything!<\/p>\n

Search up ‘Starbucks gluten-free’<\/p>\n

And here you are.<\/p>\n

So the first question is…<\/p>\n

Does Starbucks Have a Gluten Free Menu?<\/h2>\n

Well, yes they do. It’s called the Starbucks Allergen Menu <\/a>and it will tell you which coffee formulations have one of the gluten grains…<\/p>\n

Spoiler Alert<\/strong>: any drink with Java Chips<\/u>, Cereals<\/u>, or Oat milk<\/u> is a NO!! Those ingredients contain gluten so AVOID !<\/p>\n

Get on the Starbucks website to find the most recent allergen menu…that one linked above is recent as of writing this, but things change!<\/p>\n

There is no food menu…and if you search up something like ‘Starbucks gluten free food’ on Google, then you will see some results but they are not necessarily going to apply to your local Starbucks store…<\/p>\n

The best thing is to bring your own snacks…and when you’re there ask some questions to find out what items your local store has available. But you can still get a coffee, a banana (or apple or pear), and juice boxes for the kids…<\/p>\n

Ok…as mentioned earlier, the Oat Milk contains gluten – so avoid it.<\/p>\n

And that may lead you to wonder…<\/p>\n

Is Starbucks Coconut Milk Gluten Free?<\/h2>\n

Yes it is…the coconut milk is gluten free so you are good to go with that one…<\/p>\n

The milk is gluten-free…<\/p>\n

the soya milk is gluten-free.<\/p>\n

So is the almond milk.<\/p>\n

The whip cream is fine too BTW as long as you’re cool with dairy. And if you’re not cool with dairy, then I’ve seen some locations can make a non-dairy whip.<\/p>\n

But here’s good advice:<\/p>\n

Avoid sprinkles (of any kind) on top<\/p>\n

And just know that…<\/p>\n

The Flavored Syrups Are Gluten-Free?<\/h2>\n

In the past, getting answers about the gluten free status of the flavored syrups (any of them) was sort of like pulling teeth.<\/p>\n

Not fun.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Starbucks has recently started listing the flavored syrups in the Allergen list <\/u>and guess what?<\/p>\n

The syrups, drizzles and sauces are all listed as gluten-free according to the latest list. AGAIN, check now to be sure.<\/p>\n

So go ahead with your macchiato self…<\/p>\n

We’ve personally enjoyed giving a ‘steamer’ (steamed milk with vanilla flavored syrup) to our daughter…and she has celiac disease.<\/p>\n

It has never caused a problem…but now that she is a little older, she prefers a good tea.<\/p>\n

The steamers are great…but if it’s for your child, just tell them ‘not too hot!’<\/p>\n

Here are a few other gluten free ideas:<\/p>\n

Starbucks Gluten Free Drinks<\/h2>\n

(Just remember, avoid the Oat Milk , Java chips, Cereal \/ cereal sprinkles, – really just avoid sprinkles)<\/p>\n

These are gluten-free as of now:<\/p>\n
