Starbucks Frappuccino caffeine: coffee vs crème in the UK
The short answer
The recipe matters more than the word crème. The UK records include caffeine in matcha and chocolate-based drinks as well as coffee Frappuccinos.
Dated Starbucks UK reference: these records use the Spring 2026 guide. Newer seasonal guides are available; current recipes have not yet been reconciled with this snapshot.

Bars use the selected measure; numbers remain visible in both units. No bar is drawn for an undocumented concentration. Per 100 ml = serving caffeine × 100 ÷ documented volume.
Choose the exact named base
Coffee, coffee-flavoured sauces, chocolate and matcha are not interchangeable ingredients. Use the numeric entry for the finished recipe rather than attempting to infer a dose from its flavour name. No coffee in the name is not evidence of no caffeine.
Keep portion size visible
The table lists each documented size separately. A smaller serving of one recipe can be lower than a larger serving of another, even when the comparison reverses at the same size. Compare the portions you would actually order.
Treat the source as a snapshot
These are Spring 2026 UK standard recipes, not a live menu. Seasonal and customised drinks may differ. The source list preserves the document and review date; check Starbucks’ current nutrition guide before relying on an exact amount.
