Starbucks is famous for its rich and strong coffee, but that’s not all they serve. On average, about one of every four drinks you order at Starbucks is no longer a coffee drink.
From tea to smoothies, and juice to frappuccinos, each Starbucks customer seems to have a noncoffee preference.
Starbucks, an international coffee and tea house, has many other kinds of drink selections, such as juice, smoothies, and milk teas. These beverages are not made with Starbucks coffee grounds but fresh fruit and other ingredients.
The beverage menu at Starbucks features the usual lineup of caffeinated drinks popular with the coffeehouse crowd, along with a wide variety of fruit smoothies, shakes, iced teas, lemonades, and bottled refreshers.
I put together a list for those who are avoiding caffeine but still want a drink from their favorite coffee shop. Check out our list of the best noncoffee drinks Starbucks has to offer.
