Steamers
- Steamed Milk
- Vanilla Crème
A steamer is nothing more than flavored steamed milk topped with whipped cream.
A steamer never has tea or coffee in it—just milk, syrup and toppings!
Sometimes, this hot drink is simply called a crème or syrup crème.
Even though the year-round menu only lists plain steamed milk and vanilla crème, don’t think those are the only flavors you can get.
A Starbucks steamer can literally be made with any flavor syrup they have on-hand.
During the holidays you can even get steamers like a Chestnut Praline Crème or Caramel Brulee Crème.
Speaking of milk, you can also get cold milk or chocolate milk at Starbucks. The barista can make it in a Starbucks cup or they also have individual milk boxes in the refrigerator case.

Starbucks Drinks for Kids without Coffee
Keep in mind, not all drinks without coffee are caffeine-free! Refreshers are a good example of that.
In my opinion, the best drinks for kids at Starbucks are the ones that don’t have a single drop of coffee, caffeinated tea or caffeine.
To help you out, here’s a list of every drink at Starbucks that’s 100% caffeine-free.
Drinks Suggestions for Kids (Coffee-free & Caffeine-free)
- Iced Passion Tango Tea or Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade (made with caffeine-free herbal tea)
- Lemonade
- Blended Strawberry Lemonade
- Creme Frappuccinos (except chai and matcha; chocolate ones have a little caffeine)
- Hot Chocolate (white hot chocolate is caffeine-free, dark has a little caffeine)
- Steamers
- Cold Milk (You can order chocolate milk too, but it has a little caffeine.)
- Steamed Apple Juice
- Caramel Apple Spice
Be sure to order any hot drinks at “kids temp.” The barista will steam the milk to around 130°F, which is about 30°F cooler than normal.
