Starbucks iced coffee in India covers two families: espresso-based iced drinks (Iced Americano, Iced Caffe Latte, Iced Caramel Macchiato, Iced Shaken Espresso) and slow-steeped Cold Brew. These are the chilled, non-blended drinks — not the blended Frappuccino line. Expect roughly ₹270 to ₹505 depending on the drink and size, with metro outlets priced at the top of each band.
This guide explains the full iced and cold espresso menu Starbucks runs in India, how each drink is actually made, how the three cup sizes work, honest price bands in INR, and where to find an outlet. For the blended Frappuccino line (Java Chip, Caramel, Mocha) see our Starbucks Frappuccino guide, and for a full price list see the Starbucks coffee price guide.
The Starbucks iced coffee menu in India, drink by drink
When people search "starbucks iced coffee" in India, they usually mean the chilled espresso drinks poured over ice — distinct from the thick blended Frappuccino. Here is the core line-up you will see on the board at most Tata Starbucks outlets, with what each one actually is.
Iced Americano
A double shot of espresso topped with cold water and ice. No milk, no sugar. It is the cleanest, least sweet and cheapest "real" coffee on the iced board — espresso flavour, long and refreshing. Order this if you want bold black coffee without the cream. For the hot version and the wider explainer, see our Americano explained guide.
Iced Caffe Latte
Espresso, cold milk and ice. Smooth, milky, mildly sweet only if you add syrup. This is the default "iced milk coffee" most people picture. An Iced Cappuccino is the same idea with a lighter, foamier feel — in iced form the two are very close.
Iced Caffe Mocha
Iced latte plus chocolate (mocha sauce), usually finished with cream. Sweeter and dessert-leaning. A good bridge if you find black iced coffee too sharp but want something less heavy than a Frappuccino.
Iced Caramel Macchiato
Milk and ice, espresso poured on top, finished with caramel drizzle. "Macchiato" here means marked with espresso — it is a sweet, layered drink, not the tiny Italian macchiato. One of India's most-ordered iced drinks.
Iced Shaken Espresso
Espresso shaken hard with ice (and often a little sweetness), then topped with a splash of milk. Shaking aerates it and softens the bitterness, giving a lighter, brisk cup. In India it commonly appears in Brown Sugar and Hazelnut versions made on a blonde (lighter) roast.
Cold Brew
This is the one that is genuinely different. Cold Brew is steeped for around 20 hours in cold water — never heated. The result is smoother, lower in acidity and noticeably more caffeinated than a quick iced coffee. It is served black, or dressed up as Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew and Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew. If you find regular coffee too acidic, this is the cup to try.
Iced coffee vs Cold Brew vs Frappuccino — what's the difference?
The three "cold coffee" categories are easy to mix up. Quick distinction:
| Type | How it's made | Texture & taste |
|---|---|---|
| Iced espresso drinks (Americano, Latte, Mocha, Macchiato, Shaken Espresso) | Hot-pulled espresso poured over ice, with or without milk | Bright, fresh, espresso-forward; can be slightly more acidic |
| Cold Brew | Coarse grounds steeped ~20 hours in cold water, no heat | Smooth, low-acid, naturally sweet, more caffeine |
| Frappuccino | Base, ice, milk and flavour blended like a shake | Thick, frozen, dessert-like; the sweetest option |
So your "starbucks cold coffee" craving has three honest answers: an iced espresso drink for a coffee-first cup, Cold Brew for a smooth low-acid cup, or a Frappuccino for a frozen treat. We cover the blended side fully in the Frappuccino guide; this page stays on the iced espresso and Cold Brew side.
Sizes: Tall, Grande and Venti explained
Starbucks does not use Small/Medium/Large. The three sizes you will be asked to choose between are:
| Size | Volume (cold) | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| Tall | 354 ml | Smallest on the board (there is no "Short" for iced) |
| Grande | 473 ml | Mid size, the most popular pick |
| Venti | 710 ml (iced) | The largest; iced Venti is bigger than hot Venti |
For iced drinks the cup also holds ice, so liquid volume is a little less than the cup size. If you want more coffee and less dilution, ask for "light ice" or an extra shot.
Starbucks iced coffee price in India
Prices vary a little by city and store format, and Tata Starbucks pushed through a roughly 5-10% increase across the menu in early 2026. Treat these as honest "around" bands, not a live quote — always check the board or the app for the exact figure on the day. Metro outlets (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru) sit at the top of each range.
| Iced / cold drink | Tall | Grande | Venti |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iced Americano | from ~₹270 | ~₹300 | ~₹330 |
| Iced Caffe Latte | ~₹380 | ~₹410 | ~₹440 |
| Iced Cappuccino | ~₹380 | ~₹410 | ~₹440 |
| Iced Caffe Mocha | ~₹415 | ~₹445 | ~₹475 |
| Iced Caramel Macchiato | ~₹425 | ~₹455 | ~₹485 |
| Iced Shaken Espresso | ~₹395 | ~₹425 | ~₹455 |
| Cold Brew (black) | ~₹395 | ~₹430 | ~₹460 |
| Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew | ~₹435 | ~₹465 | ~₹495 |
| Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew | ~₹445 | ~₹475 | ~₹505 |
The Iced Americano is reliably the cheapest way into a Starbucks iced coffee. Add-ons (extra shot, syrup, non-dairy milk) each add a small charge on top.

Where to find Starbucks iced coffee in India
Starbucks in India is run by Tata Starbucks and has grown to 470+ stores across 70+ cities, with drive-thru, 24-hour and airport formats now common. Cold drinks drive most of the summer footfall, so the iced menu is widely stocked. To actually find a cup near you, use a genuine source rather than any "branch list" you see floating around:
- The official Starbucks India app or website store locator — the only authoritative, live list of outlets and timings.
- Delivery apps (Swiggy, Zomato) — search "Starbucks" to see outlets that deliver to your pin code and current menu prices.
- Maps — search "Starbucks near me" for the closest open outlet and directions.
Coverage is densest in the big metros — Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata — and expanding into tier-2 cities. If you are local, our city guides such as Mumbai and Bengaluru point to good coffee spots too. For a step-by-step on locating an outlet, see find your nearest Starbucks.
Serve cafe-style iced coffee at home, office or outlet
You do not need a cafe to pour a good iced latte or cold brew daily. The same drinks come down to one thing: a reliable espresso shot and cold milk over ice. A good home or office espresso machine pays for itself fast versus ₹400 a cup — and lets you dial sweetness and ice to taste. The Tea & Coffee Co. supplies, installs and services espresso machines and bean-to-cup vending machines across India, so a home, office or outlet can serve cafe-style iced coffee at scale.
If you want help picking the right machine for your space and volume, tell us your requirement and we will recommend a setup with install and refill support.
