Frequently Asked Questions – McDonald’s Caramel Macchiato

This McCafé® specialty drink layers rich espresso with velvety steamed milk, sweet caramel flavoring, and a finishing touch of caramel on top. It’s a creamy, indulgent option perfect for anyone who loves their coffee on the sweeter side.

You’re looking at 260 calories no matter which size you choose—small, medium, or large. McDonald’s adjusts the milk-to-espresso ratio by size but keeps the caramel amount constant, which is where most calories come from.

Definitely—it’s built on dark-roast espresso shots. A small typically delivers between 85-150 mg of caffeine depending on preparation, giving you a nice energy lift for morning or afternoon.

Very much so—it ranks among the sweeter McCafé offerings. Between the caramel syrup blended into the drink and the drizzle on top, you get a dessert-like sweetness that fans of sugary coffee drinks really enjoy.

Yes! The Iced Caramel Macchiato uses identical ingredients served cold over ice—chilled milk, cold espresso, caramel syrup, and that signature drizzle. Perfect when you want something refreshing.

Generally yes, at participating McCafé® locations. You can grab one during breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anytime in between—whether you’re ordering in-store, through the app, or via delivery.

It’s made with five key components: steamed whole milk, caramel-flavored syrup, dark-roast espresso, water (for brewing), and caramel topping. Note that it contains dairy, so it’s not suitable for milk allergies.

Absolutely. Switch to non-dairy milk if available, add extra espresso shots for more kick, dial back the caramel sweetness, or ask about sugar-free alternatives at certain locations. Plenty of room to make it your own.

The ingredients themselves don’t include gluten sources like wheat, barley, or rye. However, cross-contact from shared equipment is possible, so those with celiac disease should proceed carefully.

Head to any McCafé-equipped McDonald’s and order in-store, at the drive-thru, or through the app with Mobile Order & Pay. McDelivery and curbside pickup are also options for added convenience.
