If your comfort food (or drink) of choice is something at Starbucks, this roundup of easy Starbucks dupes will definitely scratch your itch. Online foodies have worked tirelessly to recreate these customer favorites. So, load up the old Pinterest board and start saving these Starbucks copycat recipes!
1. Bacon and Gruyère Egg Bites
In The Know’s AmiLin McClure made the perfect dupe of Starbucks’ bacon and Gruyère sous vide egg bites. This hearty breakfast replicates all the flavor and texture of Starbucks’ signature breakfast dish, but with no sous vide equipment necessary.
2. Grilled Cheese
Sometimes you just crave a grilled cheese — but from Starbucks specifically. TikTok-famous foodie Shreya revealed that the secret to the buttery, flaky-crusted sandwich is Parmesan butter. And she promised that after trying her copycat recipe, you’ll never spend $6 on the Starbucks grilled cheese again.
3. Caramel Frappuccino
This copycat Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino hails from the blogging trio behind Snacks and Sips. It’s ready in 5 minutes, only uses four simple ingredients and can be tweaked into a vegan version. You’ll need a blender to pull this one off.
4. Pumpkin Spice Latte
It wouldn’t be fall to some without a proper PSL. Inspired Taste came up with this 10-minute dupe for the Starbucks classic. (Hint: The secret is pumpkin purée.) This is one of those Starbucks copycat recipes that’s sure to save you a ton of money.
5. Pink Drink
Nutmeg Nanny’s pink drink recipe uses açaí tea to make the fruity beverage, but it tastes just like the real thing. It’s so convincing that a reviewer wrote, “I love when you can stay home and have a delicious Starbucks drink!”
6. S’mores Frappuccino
Starbucks’ S’mores Frappuccino is only ever around for a limited time. That makes this Thrifty Jinxy copycat a necessary addition to your recipe arsenal. You’ll need a blender, graham crackers and Dutch-process cocoa powder to get this treat just right.
7. Iced Matcha Latte
Cooking with Janica’s three-ingredient matcha latte is great for when you’re short on time. All you need is matcha powder, vanilla syrup and milk.
“The best!” one reader said. “I didn’t have syrup so I made it in less than 5 minutes, it tasted so so good. I am never buying a matcha latte again. Thanks so much for the recipe.”
8. London Fog
Ali Martin of Gimme Some Oven figured out the secret ingredient in Starbuck’s London Fog tea latte: a hint of lavender.
“I’ve been wondering how to make my London Fog taste more like the ones I’ve had at coffee shops,” a satisfied reviewer said. “This recipe is delicious — thank you!”
9. Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
This Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew dupe is ideal for warmer fall days. To make it perfect, Shugary Sweets recommends using an Aerolatte or milk frother. But it’s definitely worth the extra step: One reviewer said that they “could drink this every day!”
10. Iced Latte
The benevolent leaders at Starbucks threw customers a bone during the pandemic and shared their iced latte recipe. Here’s the exact blend of coffee the company uses to make this classic.
