I’m a big fan of Starbucks, mainly for milky frothy sugary drinks and not so much their actual coffee (although the instant they do is pretty good) I struggle to know what is dairy free there and what isn’t and it really isn’t labelled well. You should also know that just ordering a Soy version of a standard drink will not necessarily make it lactose or dairy free. Syrups like pumpkin spice, egg nog, caramel drizzle etc all have milk in them – with no warning and labels. So after looking around the web here is a list of dairy or lactose free drinks at Starbucks

I think we can all agree that worst part of this whole thing is that the Pumpkin Spiced Latte has lactose in it :(. For the best drink ever though – ask for Soy Chai latte with a shot of pumpkin spice syrup. It is AMAZING! (Just take a lactase pill or 2)

Note – All syrups are dairy free, they are just sugar and flavour.

We’ve added this quote from A redditor called k2d who updated me to let me know

all syrups (simple syrups used to flavor beverages, as opposed to sauces, which are thicker bev flavors, or drizzles, which are what go on top of drinks) are dairy-free. So not just Vanilla, Hazelnut, Caramel, Peppermint, Raspberry, Toffee Nut, but also Cinnamon Dolce, Classic (which is just simple syrup, goes into sweet tea and coffee), Caramel Flan (if your store has it) and sugar-free (sucralose) versions of the italicised flavors (though SF peppermint is seasonal for whatever reason).
