Starbucks Menu Prices (2026)
Starbucks prices move on a schedule most customers never see: the chain adjusts drink prices once or twice a year, and the gap between a company-operated store and a licensed one inside a grocery store or airport can reach a dollar on the same Grande latte.
Prices below are 2026 national averages for company-operated stores in Grande (16 oz) unless noted. Sizing matters more here than at any other chain — going from Tall to Venti typically costs about $1.20 and buys 8 more ounces, which is the best value move on the whole menu.
