Starbucks is back at it again with part 2 of their summer menu, starting Tuesday June 25, 2024! This time, we’re getting energy drinks, a new non-dairy drink, and some delicious new food. It’s time to take a break from the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso for something new. 😋
One of the highlights of summer has to be the summer menus we get from all the fast food chains. Most of these menus contain limited-time drinks and food that are specifically designed to help us enjoy our summers a little more. Every major fast food brand has something new coming out this season but none of them can compare to how much Starbucks has released.
Starbucks just updated their summer menu with new additions. Their first set was widely acclaimed with some customer saying that it’s their best additions in years. But we weren’t prepared for the next set of their summer menu. Now that it’s confirmed, here’s the updated list of the latest items on Starbucks’ summer menu:
Starbucks Iced Energy Drinks
Starbucks’ new Iced Energy Drinks are a great and fruity way to cool down this summer. They’ll give you a boost of energy without feeling guilty about it because these drinks are sugar free with less sweeteners. Here’s what’s on the lineup in the Starbucks app and in Starbucks stores.
- Tropical Citrus: A refreshing iced energy drink with flavors of passionfruit, citrus, and green tea. It has 205 mg of caffeine.
- Melon Burst: Craving something with melon? Go for the Melon Burst. It has flavors of melon mixed with cucumber and passion tango tea to go along with 180 mg of caffeine.
- Passion Tropical Citrus Iced: If you need something that blends both tropical and citrus flavors, this one is for you. It combines flavors of passionfruit with swirls of strawberry puree and 180 mg caffeine.
Non Dairy Starbucks Drinks
Having nondairy options with a new iced coffee blend is great news because Starbucks just became more inclusive. It really goes to show that they care about their customers’ need and preferences. There were originally two non-dairy drinks in their lineup but the customer favorite Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino is currently on pause until further notice.
- Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew: A custom blend of Starbucks’ cold brew coffee accented with vanilla and topped with a float layer of nondairy vanilla sweet cream. The nondairy consists of a blend of soy and oat milk. It’s a delicious new drink to enjoy if you like your coffee products non-dairy. The grande is 100 calories, 13 grams of sugar, 4 grams of fat, and has 185mg of caffeine.
Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches and Food
We all know how Starbucks are great at making drinks. They’ve been one of the most successful coffee chains in the world. But they’ve also upped their game when it comes to food. Their new summer menu additions is just further proof that Starbucks also serves amazing food.
- Egg, Pesto & Mozzarella Sandwich: Here’s a sandwich that combines egg frittata with kale, basil pesto, and mozzarella on a toasted cheddar & onion bun. Sounds like a delicious mix of savory flavors. Hopefully this can be on the permanent menu.
- Blueberry Streusel Muffin: The first set of Starbucks’ summer menu had great pastry choices and now, they’re adding another one. The Blueberry Streusel Muffin is a golden-brown muffin with juicy blueberries and notes of vanilla, finished with a sweet drizzle cinnamon streusel topping.
After much anticipation, this menu is expected to launch nationwide at all Starbucks locations starting on June 25, 2024.
So what are you waiting for? Head on over to Starbucks and get a taste of summer! Remember to stay tuned for more updates.

Previous Starbucks Summer Menu
Starbucks released a summer menu back in May 2024 and it was pretty amazing. It had a collection of new drinks and new food that just seemed perfect for the summer. Here’s a recap of what was on their earlier Starbucks summer menu releases.
- Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher: Berries are currently in season and this delicious new beverage combines three of them to make an amazing blend for the Summer-Berry refreshers. Mixing a blend of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors with lemonade, coconut milk and some ice sounds like a winning combination. It’s topped with new raspberry-popping boba for even more berry flavors.
- Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher: Here’s another handcrafted beverage but it’s mixed with lemonade instead of water. Lemonade is already pretty much a classic summer drink but is elevated when paired with raspberry boba pearls.
- Summer Skies Drink Refresher: This drink is pretty much similar to the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher only with more coconut milk with fruity boba pearls.
- White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew: This one is a returning fan favorite. the White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew features Starbucks’ signature cold brew sweetened with macadamia classic syrup, topped with a velvety white-chocolate macadamia cream cold foam and sprinkled with toasted cookie crumbles.
- Orange Cream Cake Pop: One of the more exciting desserts to come out of Starbucks. The Orange Cream Cake Pop is made with an orange cream cake mixed with buttercream and is coated in chocolatey icing.
- Pineapple Cloud Cake: If you want a little light airy cake, you can go for the Pineapple Cloud Cake. This dessert has layers of pineapple cream, pineapple spread, and then topped with whole fruit pieces while drizzled with a sweet sauce.

From The Club
We’ve finally got the confirmation for the new items being added to Starbucks‘ summer menu! It’s finally happening and I gotta say, I’m really excited for those new Iced Energy Drinks. All of them are really good and I’m probably gonna end up trying all of them anyway. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Starbucks announced or leaked another set of summer menu items.
