What is the Starbucks Almondmilk Honey Flat White?
Starbucks is promoting its dairy-free options in 2020 with several new beverages, including the Almondmilk Honey Flat White. A spin on the classic Flat White, this one has almondmilk and honey for a touch of sweetness.
How is it?
As someone who typically doesn’t order almondmilk with my coffee, I was intrigued by this one. Although I enjoy almondmilk itself, I don’t always feel it mixes in as smooth in my coffee drinks. But it might be user error on my part when I try it at home because it certainly was mixed in well by a professional barista. I approved!
Let’s get down to the flavor: The first sip had a lot of foam with a subtle nuttiness from the almondmilk. I’ve had plenty of standard Starbucks Flat Whites in my day, and this one had more foam than usual, in a good way. (For those wondering, a Flat White is made with ristretto shots, which are shorter shots of espresso with less water.) The honey was a welcome addition – just the right amount of sweet. Despite it having 24 grams of sugar in a grande, it definitely doesn’t taste like it!
The Almondmilk Honey Flat White can also be made iced, and that’s next on my list to try.
Is there anything else you need to know?
If you care about what specific type of espresso is in your beverage, you can get the Almondmilk Honey Flat White with either regular espresso or the Starbucks Blonde Espresso.
Conclusion:
I liked this one but didn’t love it – I’d order it again, but it won’t become one of my usuals — only one of my once-in-a-whiles.

tried it but i dont like their almond milk, very chalky. i’d have it again with regular milk. cant wait for the caramelized honey latte to come back in spring!
Me too I heard they have oat milk
my store doesnt but i think some do
I disagree. I had it this weekend with a slice of red velvet cake. I thought it was delicious. Mine was very smooth. I enjoyed it as a departure from my typical mocha. The nutritional stats with the almond milk look favorable too.
