25+ Starbucks Bakery Menu Items to Try in 2026 (Updated October 2026)

Updated; 22 October 2026.

The Starbucks bakery menu covers five main groups: croissants and danishes, muffins and loaves, scones and coffee cake, cookies and bars, and cake pops. The savory pockets in the same case could be called a sixth. Most US stores carry a core set all year, then rotate seasonal items in and out. This October, that rotation includes pumpkin bakes and brand-new mini pies.

This guide walks through the pastry case item by item. You’ll see what each one is, how it tends to eat, and who it suits. Then you’ll find best picks by craving, dietary notes, ordering tips, and an FAQ. Calories and prices appear only where I could confirm them, and I say so when I couldn’t.

How I Verified This Menu

I built this guide from Starbucks’ own announcements as reported in the press, hands-on reviews of the newer items, and the menu categories Starbucks has run for years. Where I cite a price or calorie count, it comes from a named review or a published nutrition figure. Everything else is described without a number.

Prices change by city, state, and store type. A licensed store in an airport or grocery store often charges more than a standard café. Before you order, check the Starbucks app, where the menu shows your store’s actual prices, calories, and allergen details. If a pastry has changed since this update, the app wins over this page.

Croissants and Danishes

Croissants and danishes are the flaky, buttery core of the Starbucks bakery menu. They’re also the easiest items to pair with coffee, since they aren’t heavy and don’t fight the drink. Warm them up when you order. A cold croissant from the case is a very different pastry.

1. Butter Croissant

This is the plain, classic option: layered dough, light butter flavor, a crisp shell, and a soft inside. It’s a good choice if you want something small with an espresso or a cold brew. Ask for it warmed and the outside crackles a bit more.

2. Chocolate Croissant

It’s the same flaky dough as the butter version, with chocolate baked into the center. The chocolate is more of a bittersweet ribbon than a rich filling, so it won’t overwhelm your drink. It works well with a plain latte or a flat white.

3. Almond Croissant

Expect a sweeter, denser pastry with an almond filling and sliced almonds on top. It’s the most dessert-like of the three croissants. Pair it with something unsweetened, like an Americano or iced black tea, so the whole order doesn’t go sugary.

4. Cheese Danish

A flaky pastry square with a sweet cream cheese center. It leans sweet but not heavy, which makes it a solid pick for people who want a “bakery” feel without chocolate. It tastes best warm, when the filling softens.

5. Cookie Croissant Swirl

This is one of the six bakery items Starbucks added in early 2026. A reviewer at Tasting Table said it’s pitched as a croissant and muffin hybrid but doesn’t fully land as either one. If you like novelty and don’t mind a pastry that’s hard to categorize, it’s worth one try. If you want a dependable breakfast, go with a plain croissant.

Muffins and Loaves

Muffins and loaves are the best value on the bakery menu for sharing. Most are dense and moist, and they hold up well if you take them to go. They tend to be sweeter than the croissants.

6. Blueberry Muffin

A tall, soft muffin with blueberries throughout. Some stores carry a streusel-topped version with a crumbly sugar crust. It’s a safe, familiar choice, and kids usually like it.

7. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin

This is a seasonal return for fall 2026. Starbucks brought the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin back alongside its new Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket and Hedgehog Cake Pop. Expect a spiced pumpkin base with a cream cheese center. It pairs naturally with the Pumpkin Spice Latte, though that’s a lot of pumpkin at once. A plain drink balances it better.

8. Lemon Loaf

The iced lemon loaf is a long-running favorite. It’s dense and buttery with a thick, tangy glaze on top. The sharp icing keeps it from tasting flat, and it’s good with hot tea or iced green tea.

9. Banana Nut Bread

A moist, old-fashioned banana loaf with walnuts. It isn’t fancy, and that’s the point. The nuts add some texture, and it’s a good one to ask for warmed. It also fits well with Starbucks’ new banana bread drinks, which Starbucks says will stay on the menu beyond fall.

10. Pumpkin Loaf

A seasonal slice in the same family as the lemon and banana loaves, with warm spice flavors. Starbucks listed the Pumpkin Loaf with the pumpkin cream cheese muffin and pumpkin scone as its fall bakery lineup. If you only want one pumpkin pastry, the loaf is the least sweet of the group.

11. Chocolate Pistachio Loaf

Another of the early 2026 additions. The reviewer found it strongly pistachio-forward, and wanted a better balance between the chocolate and pistachio. The same review lists it at 400 calories and 30 grams of sugar. It suits pistachio fans more than chocolate fans.

12. Strawberry Matcha Loaf

This one is easy to spot in the case. The reviewer describes pink and green swirls and pink icing. The loaf has 450 calories and 37 grams of sugar, so it’s a treat, not a light snack. The review suggests pairing it with the Iced Double Berry Matcha, which is a sweet-on-sweet match. A plain iced matcha would tone it down.

13. Yuzu Citrus Blossom

The fourth loaf from the same early 2026 batch. Yuzu is a tart, floral Japanese citrus, so expect something brighter than the lemon loaf. In San Diego, the reviewer paid $4.25 for it, the same as the other new loaves and the cookie croissant swirl.

Scones and Coffee Cake

These two are the “dunk it in your coffee” items. They’re drier and crumblier than muffins, and that works in their favor when you pair them with a drink.

14. Pumpkin Scone

A seasonal scone with a spiced, slightly crumbly texture and a sweet topping. It’s better with a hot drink than an iced one, since the dry crumb needs a sip of something warm. Good for people who don’t like gooey pastries.

15. Cinnamon Coffee Cake

A soft, cinnamon-swirled cake with a crumb topping. Availability varies by store and season, so check the app before planning around it. If it’s there, it’s a comforting, not-too-fancy option for a slow morning.

Cookies, Brownies, and Bars

This group is the dessert side of the case. These items are better for an afternoon coffee than for breakfast.

16. Chocolate Chip Cookie

A soft, chewy cookie with chocolate chips. It’s one of the cheaper ways to add a sweet bite to a drink order. It’s best warm, when the chocolate is just melting.

17. Double Chocolate Brownie

Dense, fudgy, and chocolate-heavy. One brownie is enough for two people to share with a drink. Pair it with a plain coffee or an unsweetened cold brew, because anything sweet on top becomes too much.

18. Marshmallow Dream Bar

A crispy rice-style bar with marshmallow. It’s light in texture, chewy, and very sweet. It’s a good kid-friendly pick, and one of the few bakery items many stores sell as a gluten-free option. Check the app for current allergen details.

19. Cranberry Bliss Bar

A holiday favorite that typically returns in the winter menu. It’s a spiced blondie-style bar with cranberries, a cream cheese frosting, and a white chocolate drizzle. Starbucks hasn’t confirmed this year’s return in the sources I found, so watch for the holiday menu launch.

Cake Pops

Cake pops are the smallest sweet on the menu. They’re a good way to add a treat without committing to a full pastry.

20. Birthday Cake Pop

Vanilla cake wrapped in pink icing with sprinkles. It’s sweet and simple, and often a kid’s first pick. It has a soft, almost frosting-like bite.

21. Chocolate Cake Pop

Chocolate cake with a chocolate coating. It’s richer than the birthday pop, and the coating gives it a snap when you bite in.

22. Hedgehog Cake Pop

This is a new fall 2026 item. Per reporting, it’s vanilla cake with chocolate icing. It’s cute and gift-friendly, and the flavor is straightforward.

New Mini Pies for Fall 2026

Starbucks added three mini pies to the fall menu. The Apple Crumble Mini Pie, Pecan Mini Pie, and Pumpkin Mini Pie were set to arrive in stores nationwide on September 29. These are seasonal, so expect them to leave when the season ends. They’re also easy to miss if your store sells out early.

23. Apple Crumble Mini Pie

Apple filling under a crumb topping. It’s the most familiar and the easiest to like. It suits anyone who wants a warm-weather treat that isn’t pumpkin.

24. Pecan Mini Pie

A sweet, nutty filling in a small crust. It’s the richest of the three, so a small coffee or tea is a better match than a sweet drink.

25. Pumpkin Mini Pie

A creamy pumpkin filling with warm fall spices. It’s the closest thing to a pumpkin pie slice on the menu, only smaller.

The Savory Option in the Case

26. Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket

If you want something that isn’t sweet, this is the new one. Starbucks launched it as part of the fall menu, described as a flatbread sandwich with 20 grams of protein. It’s a better breakfast pick than any of the sweet loaves if you need something to hold you until lunch. Starbucks’ food case also carries other hot breakfast sandwiches and wraps, but those sit outside the bakery case, so this guide doesn’t cover them.

Calories and Prices: What I Could Confirm

Starbucks calories and prices change by region and store, so I’m listing only the numbers I could verify.

Item	Calories	Sugar	Price (San Diego, Feb 2026)
Strawberry Matcha Loaf	450	37 g	$4.25
Chocolate Pistachio Loaf	400	30 g	$4.25
Cookie Croissant Swirl	Not confirmed	Not confirmed	$4.25
Yuzu Citrus Blossom	Not confirmed	Not confirmed	$4.25

Everything above comes from a February 2026 Tasting Table review. For every other item, open the Starbucks app, tap the pastry, and read the nutrition panel for your store. I’d rather leave a cell blank than print a guess. Also keep in mind that menus in the UK, Australia, and Singapore use different recipes and sizes, so numbers from those regions don’t apply to the US.

Best Picks by Craving

Here’s a quick way to choose:

• Light and flaky: Butter Croissant
• Chocolate fix: Double Chocolate Brownie or Chocolate Croissant
• Fruity and tangy: Lemon Loaf
• Cozy and spiced: Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin or Pumpkin Scone
• Something unusual: Strawberry Matcha Loaf
• Not sweet: Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket
• Small and cheap-ish: Cake pop or cookie
• For sharing: Any loaf, brownie, or coffee cake

If you’re ordering for a group, one loaf and one croissant, split in halves, gives everyone a taste without anyone getting stuck with a whole sugary slab.

The Starbucks bakery menu is a small case of croissants, loaves, muffins, bagels, and cake pops that pairs with almost any coffee. Items change with the seasons, and prices differ by city. This guide covers the bakery with prices, breakfast choices, what is new in 2026, cakes, croissants, donuts, and bread.

• Time: older guides show lower prices than 2026 ones.
• Store type: licensed stores inside shops can set their own prices.

Tips for Checking Prices

Open the Starbucks app, choose your store, and view the food menu. The price you see there is the best guide for your visit.

Starbucks Bakery Menu Breakfast

The Starbucks bakery breakfast menu is simple, quick, and easy to pair with coffee. You can choose a cold pastry from the case or a warm item from the oven.

Bakery Case Breakfasts

• Croissants: butter and chocolate are the classic choices.
• Bagels: plain and everything bagels are common, served with cream cheese or butter.
• Muffins: blueberry streusel is the standard.
• Cinnamon Coffee Cake: a sweet slice for breakfast.
• Petite Vanilla Bean Scones: a small, light option at about 140 calories.

Warm and Savory Breakfasts

The Ham & Swiss Croissant is a warm sandwich-style pastry and is listed with the breakfast items at many stores. Starbucks also offers breakfast sandwiches, wraps, egg bites, oatmeal, and Potato, Cheddar & Chive Bakes. Fall 2026 brought a new Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket, and one report says it has 20 grams of protein.

Breakfast Tips

• Ask for your pastry to be warmed for a softer, fresher taste.
• For a lighter start, try a petite scone or a plain bagel.
• Some items sell out early, especially popular bagels.

Starbucks Bakery Menu 2026

The Starbucks bakery menu 2026 has added new pastries, seasonal items, and returning favorites. Here is what changed this year.

New Items in February 2026

On February 9, 2026, Starbucks added six new “globally inspired” bakery items across the U.S. The Chocolate Pistachio Loaf was planned to stay only through winter, while the others were described as permanent. The Strawberry Matcha Loaf and Yuzu Citrus Blossom were part of that group. Recent guides also list the Cookie Croissant Swirl and Cinnamon Pull-Apart.

The Fall 2026 Menu

The fall menu launched on August 25, 2026. It included:

• Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin: a spiced pumpkin muffin with sweet cream cheese filling and pepitas on top.
• Hedgehog Cake Pop: vanilla cake with buttercream, chocolate icing, and sprinkles.
• Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket: a new savory item.

What to Expect Next

Starbucks usually releases holiday treats in November. Past holiday menus included the Cranberry Bliss Bar, the Snowman Cookie, and festive cake pops. Menus change each year, so check the app.

Menus Differ by Country

This guide covers the U.S. menu. Starbucks in the UK and other countries can have different bakery items and prices, so UK readers should check their own app.

Starbucks Cake Menu

People who search for the Starbucks cake menu are usually looking for sweet loaves, cake pops, and bars. The U.S. bakery case is built around single-serving treats.

Cake Pops

Cake pops first appeared at Starbucks in 2011 and are still a staple. They are small balls of cake covered in icing and are usually priced under $4. Classic flavors include Birthday Cake and Chocolate, and seasonal shapes have included the Snowman, Unicorn, Raccoon, and now the Hedgehog.

Loaf Cakes and Coffee Cake

• Iced Lemon Loaf: a lemon loaf with sweet glaze, at about 410 calories.
• Banana, Walnut & Pecan Loaf: about 380 calories.
• Strawberry Matcha Loaf: about 450 calories.
• Cinnamon Coffee Cake: about 380 calories.

Brownies and Bars

Starbucks has offered the Double Chocolate Brownie and the Marshmallow Dream Bar in many stores. The Cranberry Bliss Bar returns for the holidays.

Ordering a Cake for a Party

Starbucks does not focus on whole cakes in the U.S. For a party, ask your store about trays of cake pops or seasonal treats, or order a cake from a local bakery.

Best Starbucks Bakery Items

The best Starbucks bakery items depend on your taste, but some items come up again and again in customer favorites and reviews.

Fan Favorites

• Butter Croissant: a simple, flaky pastry that is often the cheapest hot-case choice.
• Iced Lemon Loaf: one of the most-ordered sweet items.
• Banana, Walnut & Pecan Loaf: a soft, nutty classic.
• Chocolate Croissant: a rich option with a chocolate filling.
• Cake pops: a small sweet bite.
• Plain and Everything Bagels: reviewers list these as strong picks.

Best Seasonal Choices

In fall, the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin and Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf are the standouts. In winter, look for the Cranberry Bliss Bar and holiday cake pops.

Best Lighter Choices

A Petite Vanilla Bean Scone has about 140 calories, and a cake pop has about 140 to 160. A Butter Croissant is around 250.

Items Some Reviewers Skip

Taste is personal. One reviewer called the Cinnamon Pull-Apart disappointing, so try a favorite first before you branch out.

Starbucks Croissant Menu

The Starbucks croissant menu is the most dependable part of the bakery case. Availability depends on your store.

Croissants and Danishes

Item	Calories	Notes
Butter Croissant	250 to 260	Plain and flaky
Chocolate Croissant	300	Chocolate filling
Ham & Swiss Croissant	320	Warm and savory
Cookie Croissant Swirl	270	New in 2026 guides
Cheese Danish	290	Sweet cheese filling
Yuzu Citrus Blossom	290	Citrus-style pastry, new in 2026

Older and Seasonal Choices

Some stores have also sold an Almond Croissant, a Baked Apple Croissant, and a Vanilla Bean Custard Danish. Winter menus have included the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish. These come and go, so ask what is in the case.

How to Enjoy Them

A warm butter croissant goes well with brewed coffee or a flat white. The Ham & Swiss Croissant works as a quick breakfast.

Starbucks Donut Menu

Starbucks is not known as a donut shop, so there is no large Starbucks donut menu. Some stores offer a single choice.

The Glazed Doughnut

Some menus list a Glazed Doughnut, and one theme park location has listed an Old-fashioned Glazed Doughnut. One 2026 price guide showed about $2.65, but this item is not in every store, so check first.

Donut-Style Alternatives

• Cinnamon Pull-Apart: a sweet, cinnamon pastry at about 300 calories.
• Cinnamon Coffee Cake: about 380 calories.
• Cake pops: a small, sweet treat.
• Cinnamon Morning Bun: listed at some locations.

Where to Find Donuts

If you really want a donut, a local donut shop will have more choices. Starbucks is better for croissants, loaves, and bagels.

Starbucks Bread Menu

The Starbucks bread menu includes sweet loaf breads and bagels. Savory sandwiches use their own breads, but the bakery case is where you pick a slice of bread to take with your coffee.

Loaf Breads

• Banana, Walnut & Pecan Loaf: about 380 calories, a long-time favorite.
• Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf: a fall favorite at about 360 to 380 calories.
• Iced Lemon Loaf: about 410 calories.
• Strawberry Matcha Loaf and Chocolate Pistachio Loaf: 2026 additions, with the pistachio loaf planned only for winter.

Bagels

Starbucks bagels include Plain, Everything, Cinnamon Raisin, and Sprouted Grain, though the sprouted grain bagel is often out of stock. The Everything Bagel is topped with onion, garlic, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds, and an older nutrition guide lists it at about 290 calories. A review notes that the plain and everything bagels are vegan on their own, but spreads are not.

Toppings and Spreads

You can add cream cheese or butter. Bagels are usually priced from about $2 to $3 before spreads, though prices vary.

Allergy Note

Bakery items contain wheat, and many have dairy, soy, or nuts. Starbucks stores share equipment, so tell the staff about any allergy.

Healthier, Vegetarian, and Allergen-Friendly Options

Most bakery items are vegetarian, since the case is built around flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. The savory protein pocket contains meat, so skip it if that matters to you. Vegan options in the pastry case are limited, so check the app for current labeling.

If you’re watching calories, the smaller items usually come out lighter than the loaves. The two loaves I could verify sit at 400 and 450 calories, which is closer to a small meal. A plain croissant, a cookie, or a cake pop is typically a smaller bite, but confirm in the app because the numbers differ by item.

For allergies, Starbucks posts allergen details in the app and online. Be careful with anything containing nuts, such as the pistachio loaf, pecan pie, and almond croissant. Starbucks stores handle many allergens in the same space, so cross-contact is possible even with items that don’t list them. If you have a severe allergy, talk to the staff before you order.

Ordering Tips That Actually Help

• Ask for it warmed. Croissants, danishes, coffee cake, and brownies all improve with heat. Loaves are fine at room temperature.
• Order ahead on the app. Popular new items can sell out by afternoon, and the app shows what your store has in stock.
• Match sweetness to your drink. Pair a sweet pastry with a plain drink, and a plain pastry with a sweet drink.
• Go earlier for new items. Limited launches such as the mini pies tend to run out first.
• Use Starbucks Rewards. You earn Stars on bakery purchases, and offers change, so check the app for current promotions.

There’s no official “secret menu” for the bakery case, despite what social media says. The closest real thing is customizing the warming and pairing, which anyone can do.

Hours, Locations, and Near-Me Searches

Starbucks hours vary by store. Drive-thru and in-store cafés usually open early, but airports, hospitals, and grocery locations keep different schedules. Search “Starbucks near me” or use the store locator in the app, which shows hours and whether the bakery items are in stock. UK stores follow a separate menu, so the pastry names and prices may differ there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is on the Starbucks bakery menu?

The Starbucks bakery menu includes croissants, danishes, muffins, loaf cakes, scones, coffee cake, cookies, brownies, bars, cake pops, and, this fall, mini pies. A savory protein pocket is also in the case. Availability varies by store.

What is new on the Starbucks bakery menu for fall 2026?

Starbucks launched its fall menu on August 25, 2026, with the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin returning and the Hedgehog Cake Pop and Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket joining. Apple Crumble, Pecan, and Pumpkin Mini Pies followed in late September.

What is the most popular Starbucks pastry?

Starbucks doesn’t publish a ranking in the sources I found. The croissants and the lemon loaf are long-running staples, so they’re a reasonable bet if you want a safe choice.

How much is a Starbucks pastry?

It depends on the store and city. One reviewer in San Diego paid $4.25 for several new loaves in February 2026. Check the app for your store’s price.

Does Starbucks have gluten-free or vegan pastries?

Starbucks has offered a few gluten-free items, and the Marshmallow Dream Bar is often one of them, but options change. Vegan pastries are limited. Check the app’s allergen and dietary labels before you order.

Can I order Starbucks bakery items for delivery?

Yes, in many areas. Starbucks has offered delivery through partner apps, though the menu on delivery is often limited and prices may be higher.

Is the Starbucks bakery menu the same in the UK?

No. UK stores run their own menu, with different pastry names, sizes, and prices in pounds. Use the UK Starbucks app or website for local details.

Final Thoughts

The Starbucks bakery menu has something for most moods, from a plain butter croissant to a pistachio loaf or a new mini pie. If you’re not sure where to start, try a warmed croissant on a normal day and one seasonal item when you want a treat. Check the app for your store’s stock, prices, and nutrition before you go. Enjoy the pastry case.
