How Many Calories in a Coffee Latte?

A coffee latte is a popular choice for those who enjoy a smooth, creamy coffee experience. But if you’re watching your calorie intake, you might be wondering — how many calories are in a coffee latte? The answer depends a lot on the milk you use and whether you add syrups or flavored toppings.

Calories in a Regular Coffee Latte

A standard latte made with whole milk typically contains around 120–180 calories per 240 ml (8 oz) serving. Most of these calories come from the milk — not the espresso.

Calories by Milk Type

Milk Type Approximate Calories (per 8 oz)
Whole milk ~150–180 cal
Semi-skimmed (2%) milk ~120 cal
Skim (non-fat) milk ~90 cal
Oat milk ~130–160 cal
Almond milk ~60–90 cal
Soy milk ~100–130 cal

If you’re looking to cut calories, plant-based milks are a good option — or you could enjoy a macchiato or Americano, both of which are much lighter in milk content.

You can also explore our smooth medium coffees like Latin American Coffee Beans Blend or 6 Bean Blend Coffee if you like flavor without adding milk-based calories.

How Many Calories Are in a Latte with Syrup?

Adding flavored syrups — like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut — can significantly increase the calorie count:

  • 1 pump of syrup (approx. 10 ml): ~40–50 calories

  • Whipped cream topping: ~70–100 calories

If you enjoy flavored coffee but want to stay calorie-conscious, try our Flavored Coffee Sampler Packs. They're rich in taste without needing added sugar or syrups.

Low-Calorie Coffee Options

Here are some lighter coffee options to help control calorie intake while still enjoying great flavor:

  • Black Coffee / Americano: ~2–5 calories per cup

  • Macchiato: ~10–20 calories

  • Cold Brew: ~5–15 calories — try using Coarse Ground Coffee for Cold Brew for a smooth but strong brew

Summary: Counting Calories in Your Latte

  • A latte’s calorie range can go from around 60 (light oat or almond milk, no syrup) to well over 300 calories, depending on milk choice and extras.

  • Choose lighter milk options, skip or minimize syrups, and rely on the flavor of your coffee itself for satisfaction.

  • For naturally flavorful but lower-calorie options, consider Latin American Coffee Beans Blend or Caramel Coffee for a sweet touch.
