Starbucks® Blonde Espresso: Discover a Smooth and Vibrant Espresso Experience
Starbucks introduces Starbucks® Blonde Espresso in Latin America and the Caribbean markets, an innovative offering crafted from a blend of coffees from Latin America and East Africa, designed for those seeking a different way to experience coffee: a smoother, naturally sweeter experience—light on the outside and intense on the inside.
Enjoying coffee is also about discovering new ways to experience it. For this reason, Starbucks is introducing Starbucks® Blonde Espresso in markets across Latin America, expanding the ways customers can enjoy espresso with a smoother, lighter roast that is mellow and approachable, yet full of flavor. The new offering brings greater choice to the menu while elevating the Starbucks Experience across the region.
Starbucks® Blonde Espresso is crafted from a unique blend of coffees sourced from Latin America and East Africa, carefully roasted to reveal vibrant notes of caramelized apple and semi-sweet chocolate. Although lighter in appearance than a traditional espresso, this offering delivers a bright, nuanced experience full of character.

Customers can customize a selection of Starbucks® portfolio beverages with Blonde Espresso, including the Vanilla Latte, Americano, and Coffee of the Day, which feature a lighter and smoother espresso profile, as well as beverages such as the Aerocano™ and the Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Blonde Espresso. These beverages are suited to a variety of occasions throughout the day and across seasons, from refreshing cold drinks ideal for sunny days to warm beverages perfect for a comforting break.
An Espresso for those who want to discover more about coffee
Bright outside, bold inside, Starbucks® Blonde Espresso expands the possibilities of enjoying coffee and reinforces Starbucks commitment to delivering experiences that reflect consumers’ preferences.
Beverages made with Starbucks® Blonde Espresso will be available at participating Starbucks coffeehouses across Latin America and the Caribbean beginning in late July. With these new menu offerings, Starbucks continues to strengthen its commitment to providing beverages that meet the evolving preferences of its consumers, driving new coffee experiences that combine flavor, quality, and innovation in every cup.
