Serving size and personalization
Cortado can be a useful starting point when choosing from the Starbucks menu. Before ordering, confirm the serving size or package format available at your cafe. Size changes may affect the amount of espresso, tea, milk, sauce, syrup, ice, or blended base in a beverage. That can change both the balance of flavors and the price. Food and packaged options can also vary in availability from one location or time of day to another. Ask the barista to confirm the exact item and size shown on the current ordering screen.
For drinks, consider whether you prefer a hot or cold preparation and whether you want any optional customization. Depending on the recipe, it may be possible to ask about an alternate milk, less sweetener, extra espresso, different temperature, light ice, or a topping. Availability and extra charges vary. Making one change at a time is a simple way to understand how it affects the drink. For snacks, bakery items, bottled products, or meals, read the package or menu description so the serving and ingredient details are clear before purchase.
