What's in a Caffè Mocha
A Caffè Mocha is espresso with mocha sauce and steamed 2% milk, topped with sweetened whipped cream. Starbucks uses 2, 3, 4 and 5 pumps of mocha sauce for Short, Tall, Grande and Venti. Short and Tall get one espresso shot, while Grande and Venti get two.
Milk and customization swaps
Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.
| Swap | Effect on calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| No whipped cream | Cuts calories and fat | The single biggest easy cut |
| Nonfat milk | Fewer calories and less fat | Protein stays about the same as 2% |
| Whole milk | More calories and fat | Creamier; the default in a Flat White |
| Almondmilk | Usually the lowest-calorie milk | Much less protein than dairy |
| Oatmilk | Usually more calories and carbs than almondmilk | Less protein than dairy; very creamy |
| Soymilk | Between almondmilk and 2% | The plant milk closest to dairy for protein |
| Coconutmilk | Usually fewer calories than 2% | Low protein; the base of the Pink Drink |
Milk effects show direction only. Starbucks doesn't publish per-milk nutrition for this drink, so the calculator estimates swaps.
Syrup pumps and calories
Mocha sauce: 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 pumps (Short / Tall / Grande / Venti), per Starbucks recipe data. Starbucks doesn't publish calories per pump of mocha sauce, so any per-pump figure is an estimate (unverified). For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.
Lower-calorie ways to order
- Skip the whipped cream.
- Ask for half the mocha pumps, for example 2 in a Grande.
- Switch to nonfat milk or almondmilk.
- Size down: a Tall has 290 calories against 370 for a Grande.
