How to order French Vanilla Coffee at Starbucks (Does Starbucks sell French Vanilla Coffee + More Information)

There are many coffee variations available at Starbucks, and each one comes with a unique flavor profile, texture, and consistency. So, can you order French vanilla coffee from the Starbucks app?

Yes, you can, but not directly off the online menu. French vanilla coffee is among the most popular drinks on the Starbucks menu. However, this drink is not available on the app, but you can make specific changes to your order so that you get French vanilla coffee when you order directly from the Starbucks app.

I had, for a pretty long time, been trying to order this drink from Starbucks through the app, but I had a difficult time doing so because I could not find it on the app menu. A barista friend later explained to me that all I had to do was ask for a pump of vanilla syrup and a pump of hazelnut syrup along with my coffee of choice.

How do I order French Vanilla Coffee from Starbucks in store?

To order a french vanilla coffee (caffe latte), ask the barista for a grande vanilla latte, with two pumps of vanilla syrup, and two pumps of hazelnut syrup. If you do not like your drink very sweet, ask the barista for one pump of the hazelnut syrup.

French vanilla coffee is essentially any coffee drink that is sweetened by mixing both vanilla and hazelnut syrup. When you order your drink, a caffe latte, for instance, instead of asking for vanilla syrup only, ask the barista to add a few pumps of hazelnut syrup. This combination is what qualifies a coffee drink as French vanilla coffee.

How do I order French vanilla coffee from the Starbucks app?

Here is a step-by-step guide.

Step 1: If you do not have the app on your mobile device, go on and download it on the AppStore or on Google Play depending on your phone’s OS. Once downloaded, proceed to create an account for yourself.

Step 2: Enable location services for easy store identification as well as order delivery.

Step3: Make your order by clicking on the Order icon at the bottom of your screen. You will be required to specify the temperature of the drink (hot or cold), the size of the cup, the type of roast you want, the type of milk (if you want it), and the flavored syrup or sauce. This is where you will indicate the number of vanilla and hazelnut pumps you want. Finally, you can ask for other flavorings, spices, and toppings to go with your drink if you want some.

Is French vanilla just vanilla and hazelnut?

Well, yes, and no. French vanilla drinks are largely identified by the two distinct flavors, but that is not all that is unique about them. While there is no obvious rule governing what french vanilla drinks contain, they are mostly creamy drinks that are topped with frothy milk. The combination of vanilla and hazelnut syrup is oftentimes accompanied by sweet and creamy decadence. For this reason, many people will ask for such additions as heavy cream, whipped cream, cold foam, and full cream milk in their French vanilla coffee drinks.

Final Thoughts

If you are looking to have a Starbucks coffee drink with a unique flavor profile, you should consider ordering a French vanilla version. The flavor is unique and goes well with many other toppings and additions. It is also pretty easy to order, both in-house and on the app.
