Krispy Kreme Latte

The Krispy Kreme Latte is the most versatile and popular espresso drink on the menu. Made with espresso shots and a generous pour of velvety steamed milk, it delivers a smooth creamy coffee experience that appeals to a wide range of customers. At 190 calories per medium serving it is richer than a cappuccino but still significantly lighter than the flavored specialty lattes.

The standard latte has no added flavoring — just pure espresso and steamed milk. This makes it a great canvas for customization. Add a shot of vanilla, caramel, or the signature Original Glazed syrup to transform it into a specialty drink. Or enjoy it plain for a clean, satisfying everyday coffee experience.

Latte vs Cappuccino vs Specialty Latte

• Cappuccino — 120 cal, equal thirds espresso/milk/foam, strong coffee flavor
• Latte — 190 cal, mostly steamed milk, thin foam, creamy and smooth
• Vanilla Latte — 250 cal, latte plus vanilla syrup, noticeably sweeter
• Original Glazed Latte — 280 cal, latte with Original Glazed doughnut flavor syrup

Why Order the Plain Latte?

The plain Krispy Kreme Latte makes sense when you want a creamy coffee drink without the added sweetness and calories of a flavored version. It is also the best starting point if you are customizing your own drink — you control exactly how much flavoring goes in rather than relying on a preset recipe.

Best Doughnut Pairings

• Original Glazed — the creaminess of the latte complements the light glaze perfectly
• Strawberry Iced with Sprinkles — the fruity sweetness pairs nicely with a creamy latte
• Cinnamon Apple Filled — a warm, comforting combination
• OREO Cookies and Kreme Filled — the rich filling pairs beautifully with steamed milk

Ordering Tips

• Ask for an extra shot of espresso for a stronger coffee flavor — this adds about 5 calories
• Request oat milk or almond milk if available for a dairy-free option
• Order iced for a refreshing cold version — see the Iced Latte page for details
• The medium size is the best value at most Krispy Kreme locations
