Overview
- Starting Aug. 21, Coco Matcha and Coco Cold Brew are available in New York City, greater Los Angeles, the Chicago area, and select Midwestern cities including Cedar Rapids, St. Louis, Springfield, South Bend, Madison, and Milwaukee.
- Coco Matcha layers unsweetened Matcha Cold Foam over coconut water on ice, while Coco Cold Brew tops coconut water with a layer of cold brew foam.
- Starbucks lists a grande Coco Matcha at about 230 calories and 11 grams of sugar, and a grande Coco Cold Brew at about 70 calories and 9 grams of sugar.
- The company is collecting feedback from customers and baristas during the test and has not set a timeline for a broader rollout.
- Starbucks frames the test within its health-and-wellness strategy, citing 23% year-over-year growth in cold-foam modifiers and planning a no‑added‑sugar protein cold foam that can add roughly 15 grams of protein to cold drinks.
