Today marks the introduction of a new, super cute, “mini” size Frappuccino in all U.S. and Canada stores. It’s 10 ounces and prefers not to be called ‘short’. It still hoping to grow as tall as its big brother, the Venti Frappuccino.
We’ve been told that coffee does not stunt Mini’s growth. 😉
Starbucks says this is a seasonal item only At least for this summer, there are four sizes of cold beverages:
- Mini – 10 ounces
- Tall – 12 ounces
- Grande – 16 ounces
- Venti – 24 ounces
The new Mini Frappuccino is perfect when a tall is just a bit too much. I know for sure, I’ll be ordering the mini. I often don’t want the little bit extra that is in a tall. This is perfect for parents who want a small treat for kids, anyone with a small appetite, and great for those watching calories.
You might recall that last September, Starbucks tested the Mini Frappuccino in two regions (Denver and Houston).
Don’t forget that you can still get a cookie straw for 95 cents too. A fun little add on for your Mini Frappuccino.
Enjoy your mini treat!
(And you can still submit to me your Frappuccino of the Week entries! I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Hat tip to Kelly Oswald on Instagram who suggested the idea for the Venti Frappuccinos welcoming their new friend, the Mini. Thank you to the Block at Orange Starbucks and the Tustin and Lincoln Starbucks for making me so many beautiful Frappuccinos. Yes I just now bought a lot of Frappuccinos!)

I can tell you’re on vacation, this post is so breezy and funny! 🙂 love our new little mini friend!
hah that photo is so cute! The promo email I got said they are “limited”. Do you know how long they will go on for?
How cute! I’ve often thought they should have a smaller size for the Frappuccino to go along with their short option for hot drinks. I hope it’s successful enough to outlast its current “Limited” status! Super cute picture, by the way! 🙂
Soooo cute! I like they have a tiny one and hope it managed to stick around, sometimes the larger ones are too much.
It is so cute! I want to try a mini smores frappuccibo without the guilt! 😉
So perfect! Great for kids and for big people that just want a little something.
I wasn’t sure about this size because of the price point and the 2 oz difference, but I have to say *I* love it – it is just the right size for a frappuccino for me. I feel like Goldilocks, but it’s “Just right!” 🙂
And they got Tyler Oakley to promote it (insert generational gap here…)
Funny post! And that size is just right for me.
Sorry guys for me the Mini is not enough bang for the buck and I do love my Starbucks.
i wanted to try the mini…until i saw its just as expensive as the larger drinks. WTH?! RIDIC.
Love the size, but the price is outrageous. It’s only .30 more for the Tall. A barista tried to convince me not to get the mini yesterday.
What many of you folks do not realize is that the cost of what goes into a beverage is small compared to the fixed costs of labor and rent associated with the beverage. Decreasing the size from 12 ounces to 10 ounces has practically no effect on the costs to the store.
I would be careful about swooning too much over the Mini-Frappuccino as Starbucks may make the “Mini” the new “Tall” because while a few cents means nothing to you when you consider how many Frappuccinos Starbucks makes in a day you have some real money and product “saved” for Starbucks.
