How Many Calories in a Coffee Latte?

A coffee latte is a beloved choice for those who enjoy a smooth, creamy espresso-and-steamed-milk drink. But if you’re watching your calorie count, you may be asking — latte how many calories are in one? It depends a lot on the type of milk you use and whether you add pumps of syrup or other 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) cup. Most of these calories come from the milk rather than the espresso itself.

Calories by Milk Type

Here’s a breakdown of calories according to different milks:

  • Whole milk: ~150–180 cal

  • Semi-skimmed milk: ~120 cal

  • Skimmed milk: ~90 cal

  • Oat milk: ~130–160 cal

  • Almond milk (unsweetened): ~60–90 cal

  • Soy milk: ~100–130 cal

If you’re after a lower-calorie latte, go for plant‑based milk, or enjoy a macchiato or an Americano, both of which are lighter in milk content.

How Many Calories Are in a Coffee Latte with Syrup?

Adding flavoured syrup — like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut — can raise your calorie count significantly:

  • One pump of syrup (~10 ml): ~40–50 calories

  • Whipped cream topping: ~70–100 calories

If you want the taste without too much added sugar, try our Assorted Flavoured Blend Coffee — it offers richness without needing extra syrup.

Low‑Calorie Coffee Options

If you're counting calories, here are some lighter options that still deliver great flavour:

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

  • Macchiato: ~10–20 calories

  • Cold Brew: ~5–15 calories — try our Savannah Ice Coffee for a bold, refreshing drink

  • Iced Coffee: ~15–50 calories — our Mayan Chill Coffee is perfect over ice

If you’d like a good-tasting coffee that’s naturally smoother, try our medium roasts like Arabica Blend Coffee or House Blend Coffee — both excellent black or with a splash of light milk.

Summary: Counting Calories in Your Latte

Ultimately, how many calories in a caffe latte can vary widely — from around 60 calories (with unsweetened almond milk and no syrup) to over 300 calories (in a large latte with whole milk and added sugar).

Some tips to manage your calorie intake:

  1. Choose lighter milk or plant-based alternatives like unsweetened almond or oat milk.

  2. Skip or reduce added sugar from syrups.

  3. Opt for smaller cup sizes if you're keeping a close eye on calories.

  4. Let the flavour of your coffee shine — try premium blends rather than relying on syrup or sugar for sweetness.
