Everyone has a favorite Starbucks order straight from the menu. But the non-so-fun-fact? Most of them are well over $5. In fact, some drinks can cost upwards of $10 for a venti. The good news is, my TikTok feed is filled with under-$5 Starbucks drinks, concocted by people just like you and I, who love The ‘Bucks but don’t want to spend the big bucks on a coffee drink. From pumpkin spice to under 100-calorie creations, here are the 7 best Starbucks drinks that cost less than $5.
