❓Frequently Asked Questions – McCafé® Iced Coffee

Yes, McCafé® Iced Coffee comes naturally sweetened in its standard preparation. A regular order includes liquid sugar and light cream, creating a balanced, creamy sweetness that appeals to most customers.
However, McDonald’s offers complete customization—you can request:
Less sugar or no sugar at all
Sugar-free syrup (like Sugar-Free French Vanilla*)
Black iced coffee for zero added sweetness
Adjust sweetness level to match your taste preferences
This flexibility makes it easy to tailor the drink according to your dietary needs or personal taste.

Absolutely. McDonald’s Iced Coffee is brewed using 100% Arabica coffee beans, which naturally contain a moderate amount of caffeine.
A small McCafé Iced Coffee typically delivers around 95–133 mg of caffeine, though this can vary based on brewing strength and dilution from cream or ice.
Here’s a general caffeine estimate by size:
Small: ~95–133 mg
Medium: ~130–145 mg
Large: ~180–200 mg
Since it’s made with 100% Arabica beans, it delivers a smooth energy lift—less intense than espresso but still highly effective for that morning boost or afternoon pick-me-up!

✅ Yes, full customization is absolutely available!
If you’re after a lighter or lower-calorie option, simply request:
No cream (for black coffee)
No sugar
Sugar-free syrup (available at select locations)
You can customize your order in-store, at the kiosk, or through the McDonald’s app, which makes it easy to adjust:

  1. Flavor selection
  2. Sweetness level
  3. Cream amount

Ordering it black or sugar-free makes it suitable for keto, low-carb, or diabetic-friendly diets.

The healthiest option is definitely the Black Iced Coffee—ordered with no cream or sugar.
It contains:

  • Just 5 to 10 calories (depending on ice dilution)
  • Zero fat, sugar, or carbohydrates
  • A solid caffeine boost without any extra ingredients

A plain black iced coffee with no cream or sugar contains fewer than 5 calories, making it one of the lowest-calorie drinks at McDonald’s. Once you add cream, sugar, or syrup, the calories will increase—sometimes significantly.
If you’d like some flavor without the calories, ask for Sugar-Free French Vanilla (where available) or request reduced cream and sugar.

Absolutely. You can adjust how much cream and liquid sugar you want, or remove them entirely. You can also enhance your coffee with flavor syrups like Caramel, Hazelnut, French Vanilla, or Sugar-Free French Vanilla. Prefer your coffee plain? You can order it black, with no cream or sugar for a clean, bold brew.
Additional customization options include:

  • Less ice for a stronger coffee flavor
  • Extra flavor pumps for more sweetness
  • Mix multiple syrups to create your own blend
  • Add or reduce cream to your preference

Yes, McDonald’s Iced Coffee is part of their All Day Beverage Menu. Whether you want it with breakfast or later in the afternoon, it’s typically available at most locations throughout the day during all business hours.

Pricing varies by location and size, but generally:
Small: $1.99 – $2.49

Sometimes, smaller sizes may appear in Dollar Menu deals or local promotions. Prices and deals vary by location, so your local app or restaurant menu is the best place to confirm. McDelivery® prices may be higher than at restaurants, with additional delivery fees applying.

You can choose from several delicious options:
Caramel – Sweet and buttery
French Vanilla – Classic and creamy
Hazelnut – Rich and nutty
Sugar-Free French Vanilla – Same flavor, fewer calories (at participating locations)
These syrups add both flavor and sweetness to your drink, and you can mix them to create your own custom blend. Some locations may offer seasonal or limited-time flavors.

No, it doesn’t. McDonald’s Iced Coffee is brewed coffee, not espresso-based. It’s made from drip-brewed Arabica coffee that’s chilled and poured over ice. For espresso drinks, check out McCafé options like Iced Lattes or Iced Mochas instead.

Very few. A plain black iced coffee with no cream or sugar contains fewer than 5 calories, making it one of the lowest-calorie drinks at McDonald’s. Once you add cream, sugar, or syrup, the calories will increase—the standard version with cream and sugar contains 140 calories.

Yes. You can skip the liquid sugar entirely or choose Sugar-Free French Vanilla syrup. For a dairy-free option, simply ask for no cream.

⚠️ No, Sugar-Free French Vanilla syrup is only offered at participating McDonald’s locations.
It’s an excellent low-calorie choice for those who want vanilla flavor without added sugar—particularly popular among:

  1. Keto dieters
  2. People with diabetes
  3. Anyone following a low-carb lifestyle

To confirm availability:

  1. Check the McDonald’s mobile app
  2. Ask in-store or at the drive-thru
  3. Substitute with another available flavor if needed

It’s vegetarian-friendly by default since it contains no meat or animal by-products other than dairy. It’s not vegan unless you remove the dairy-based cream and replace it with plant-based options, where available. A fully vegan version would be a black iced coffee or one with non-dairy milk if your location offers it.

Yes. The iced coffee is made with real, freshly brewed 100% Arabica beans—the same high-quality roast used in their hot coffee. The Arabica blend is chosen for its smooth, balanced taste and lower bitterness compared to Robusta beans, ensuring a premium coffee experience every time.
