The Krispy Kreme Caramel Specialty Latte is one of the most popular specialty drinks on the menu. Rich espresso shots combined with velvety steamed milk and a generous pour of smooth caramel flavoring create a sweet, warming drink that is hard to resist — especially alongside a fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut.

At 300 calories per medium serving the Caramel Specialty Latte is one of the richer options on the hot drinks menu. The caramel syrup adds a deep buttery sweetness that blends beautifully with the espresso and milk base.

Caramel Specialty Latte vs Caramel Mocha Specialty Latte

Krispy Kreme offers two caramel-based specialty lattes:

  • Caramel Specialty Latte — 300 cal, pure caramel flavor, sweet and smooth
  • Caramel Mocha Specialty Latte — 300 cal, caramel plus chocolate, richer and more complex

If you love caramel on its own choose the Caramel Specialty Latte. If you want caramel and chocolate together choose the Caramel Mocha.

Available Hot and Iced

The Caramel Specialty Latte is available in multiple formats:

  • Hot — classic warm latte, 300 calories
  • Iced — served over ice, refreshing and slightly lighter
  • Frozen — blended frozen version, most indulgent option

Best Doughnut Pairings

  • Original Glazed — the caramel latte sweetness complements the light glaze
  • Chocolate Iced Custard Filled — caramel and chocolate custard is a classic combination
  • Banana Pudding Doughnut — caramel and banana flavors work together beautifully
  • Original Glazed Cake Doughnut — the denser cake pairs well with a sweet caramel latte

Ordering Tips

  • Ask for extra caramel drizzle on top for a more intense caramel flavor
  • Request light syrup if 300 calories feels like too much — baristas can reduce the syrup amount
  • Try it iced in warmer months — the Iced Caramel Latte is excellent
