Updated 12 September 2026 · price from a third party listing
Espresso sits 5th of 107 on price in Starbucks’ featured section, at £1.95. Updated 12 September 2026.
A shot of espresso with a rich flavour and caramel-like sweetness.
The £1.95 figure came from a third party listing rather than from Starbucks, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.
Allergens Starbucks declares
None of the 14 regulated allergens is listed as an ingredient.

Everything You Need to Know About Starbucks Espresso
How to order Espresso at Starbucks
Espresso is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the Starbucks app, for collection or for delivery. It is filed under featured. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
Starbucks Espresso price in 2026
The Starbucks Espresso price in 2026 is £1.95 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from Starbucks, so read it as a ceiling. Within the featured section that puts it 5th of 107 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Where it sits on price
4 items cost less than this one in the featured section and 102 cost more, out of 107 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is ONE Water 500ml Still at £1.90–£3.35, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
More protein for similar money
Butter Croissant costs about the same at £2.20 and carries 5.6g of protein against this item's 0.4g. If the point of the order is to be full for longer, that is the better buy of the two.
Finding it near you
We list 176 Starbucks branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the Edinburgh postcode area holding the most at 16. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The Starbucks app confirms it in seconds.
Allergens declared
Starbucks lists none of the 14 allergens UK law regulates as an ingredient of this item. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Pro Tips for Ordering Espresso
Ordering it the way you want
Size and milk are the two levers on a drink like this, and both move the calorie figure more than any syrup does. A smaller cup with semi skimmed milk lands well below the same drink made large with whole milk. Starbucks publishes figures for the standard build, so any change you ask for moves you off the number in the table above.
