Krispy Kreme Cappuccino

The Krispy Kreme Cappuccino is a classic Italian-style espresso drink made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and thick airy milk foam. It is one of the most balanced espresso drinks on the menu — richer and creamier than an Americano but lighter and less sweet than a full latte.

At 120 calories per medium serving the Cappuccino sits in a comfortable middle ground on the calorie scale. It has enough milk to add creaminess and natural sweetness without the high calorie count of flavored specialty lattes. No added sugar or syrups in the standard version — just espresso, steamed milk, and foam.

What Makes a Cappuccino Different From a Latte?

Both cappuccinos and lattes use espresso and steamed milk but in different proportions and with different textures:

• Cappuccino — equal thirds: espresso, steamed milk, and thick foam. Stronger espresso flavor, less milk, airier texture.
• Latte — mostly steamed milk with a thin layer of foam. Creamier, milkier, softer espresso flavor.

If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor with less milk choose the cappuccino. If you prefer a creamier milkier drink choose the latte.

Ordering Tips

• Order a dry cappuccino for more foam and less milk — great for strong espresso flavor
• Order a wet cappuccino for more steamed milk and less foam — closer to a latte
• Add a flavor shot like vanilla or caramel to customize without a huge calorie jump
• Best served hot — the foam texture is a core part of the cappuccino experience
