Mostly the drinks. Most brewed coffees, espresso drinks, and teas have no gluten, and Starbucks sells a sealed gluten-free Marshmallow Dream Bar and egg bites that list no wheat. But there is no dedicated gluten-free handling, the pastry case and warming ovens are shared, and Starbucks says it cannot guarantee anything is allergen-free. Skip the bakery and any blended drink with cookie crumble or malt.

The honest caveat: cross-contact
Starbucks says it cannot guarantee that any of its beverages or food products are allergen-free because it uses shared equipment to store, prepare, and serve them. There is no gluten-free handling protocol, and the pastry case and warming ovens are shared.
The move
skip the pastry case
Stick to a plain brewed coffee, espresso drink, or tea, plus the sealed gluten-free Marshmallow Dream Bar. The egg bites list no wheat but are heated on shared equipment. Skip everything from the bakery case and blended drinks with chips or cookie crumble.
Based on Starbucks nutrition & allergens, checked August 2026. Menus and prep change, and a shared kitchen can never guarantee against cross-contact, so confirm with your location before ordering.

Starbucks gluten-free, answered
Does Starbucks have gluten-free food?
Starbucks sells a sealed gluten-free Marshmallow Dream Bar and egg bites that list no wheat, but it has no dedicated gluten-free menu or handling. The unpackaged bakery items are not gluten-free, and shared equipment means cross-contact risk.
Are Starbucks drinks gluten-free?
Most brewed coffees, espresso drinks, teas, and steamed milks have no gluten ingredients. Avoid blended drinks with Frappuccino chips, cookie crumble, or malt powder, and know Starbucks uses shared equipment and cannot guarantee any drink is allergen-free.
Can celiacs drink Starbucks?
Plain coffee and tea drinks are low-risk, and the sealed gluten-free bar is a safe snack. But Starbucks has no gluten-free protocol and shares equipment across the pastry case and blenders, so avoid the bakery and check blended-drink add-ins.
