The Unicorn Frappuccino, which was a limited-time offering from Starbucks in 2017, created a viral sensation with over 180,000 Instagram posts within a week. This famously colorful and flavor-shifting drink is often confused with standard Frappuccinos, leading many to ask: does the Unicorn Frappuccino have coffee in it? The simple answer is no, it does not.

A common point of confusion for many Starbucks customers is whether their favorite chocolate blended beverage contains caffeine. It is important to know that while some blended chocolate drinks at Starbucks do have coffee, the popular Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino does not contain coffee-based caffeine.

According to Starbucks' official menu, the standard Caramel Frappuccino is, in fact, a Blended Coffee beverage that contains coffee. Many people assume that its sweet and creamy flavor profile means it's coffee-free, but this is a common misconception.

Starbucks offers two distinct vanilla Frappuccinos, and only one of them actually contains coffee. The key difference lies in the name: the popular Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino is made without coffee, but the Café Vanilla Frappuccino is a coffee-based beverage.

According to Starbucks baristas, the easiest way to order a Frappuccino without coffee is to request the "Crème" version. So, what is a Starbucks Frappuccino without coffee? It is a Blended Crème Frappuccino, which substitutes the coffee base with a non-caffeinated alternative, resulting in a creamy, dessert-like beverage.

While many assume all Starbucks Frappuccinos are loaded with caffeine, some versions actually contain none at all. The Frappuccino with the highest caffeine content is the Espresso Frappuccino, which includes both Frap Roast and espresso shots.

According to Starbucks' official nutrition information, the popular Strawberry Crème Frappuccino® contains 0 mg of caffeine. This confirms that the delightful, fruit-forward beverage is not made with coffee, unlike its java-based counterparts.

According to Starbucks' official nutrition information, a Grande Caramel Frappuccino Blended Beverage contains 90 milligrams of caffeine. This makes it a caffeinated drink, contrary to some popular belief that all Frappuccinos are caffeine-free milkshakes. However, the exact caffeine level can vary depending on the size and whether you order the standard coffee-based version or a customization.

A Venti Espresso Frappuccino contains up to 185 milligrams of caffeine, making it the most potent option for those wondering which Frappuccino has the most coffee. This powerful drink is made with both the standard Frappuccino Roast and an added shot of espresso.

Over half of Starbucks' signature blended Frappuccinos can be ordered completely free of coffee. So, does Starbucks have a Frappuccino without coffee? Absolutely, and they're called 'Crème Frappuccinos,' which are made using a special, coffee-free base.
