What is on the Starbucks Secret Menu?
Welcome to HackTheMenu’s ultimate collection of Starbucks Secret Menu Items. Yes, you read that right. You can order special drinks from your local Starbucks that are not on their regular menu – but a Secret Menu.
From Cotton Candy Frappuccinos, Liquid Cocaine and all the way to Butterbeer Lattes, we have you covered with all of the knowledge, recipes and know-how for you to start ordering off of the Starbucks Secret Menu!
Our goal is to put the power of the menu in your hands, so you can start ordering what you want instead of staying within the four corners of the official Starbucks Menu. So go ahead, check out our Starbucks Secret Menu items below to find the crazy delicious concoctions that have been hiding right under your nose for all these years.
You can view the Starbucks Secret Menu Frappuccinos separately from the Starbucks Secret Menu Drinks if this master list is too overwhelming for you.
While Starbucks sells millions of cups of coffee a day, many of the orders are repeat customers that have purchased the same drink each time because they don’t know about the drinks on the Secret Menu. Now that the secrets are in your hands, it’s up to you whether you choose to #HackTheMenu or continue to order within the confines of the boring old regular menu!
These secret menu items at Starbucks are unofficial, but some are so commonly ordered by those “in the know” that some baristas will serve them up without question. However, don’t assume that they do if you don’t already have a rapport with the barista.
With that said, don’t let the fear of baristas not knowing keep you from enjoying something on the secret menu. We give you knowledge and power in the form of the secret recipes and teach you how to order from the secret menu.
The baristas will be glad to help if you have the secret recipe pulled up on your smart phone. Heck, some people even print out the recipe. Whatever you do to share the recipe, it will be greatly appreciated by the baristas.

Is there a Starbucks Secret Menu?
The answer to this isn’t as simple as one would hope. The simple answer is yes, there is a secret menu at Starbucks.
For the longer answer… What we do know is that Starbucks baristas will most likely make you any drink if you have the recipe (and they have the ingredients) and it’s something within reason. However, Starbucks has not officially claimed to have a secret menu.
The Starbucks Secret Menu is extremely popular, so it makes sense that some baristas know the recipe to some of the popular secret menu drinks, such as the Butterbeer Frappuccino. Regardless, never go to Starbucks unprepared, you should always show the Starbucks Secret Menu Recipe when you order.
And remember, please be kind to your barista. It is not company policy for the barista to have all of these secret menu items memorized. However, most employees have heard of the secret menu, and will gladly make you your favorite hidden menu drink if you show the barista the secret recipe.
