McDonald's Latte Caramel (small) Complete Information

A McDonald's Latte Caramel (Small) costs $4.29 and carries 250 calories with 9g of protein and 45mg of caffeine.

Caramel syrup adds about a hundred and ten calories to the plain $4.29 Latte (Small) at 140, at the same price. That is the single clearest illustration of where calories live on the McCafe board: not in the coffee, not in the milk, but in the syrup. The caffeine does not move at all, staying at the 45mg espresso baseline. Fewer pumps costs nothing and takes calories off proportionally. For the iced version, $4.59 Latte Iced Caramel is 180 calories. Pair it with a Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Health Insight

At 250 calories and 34g of sugar, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Mango Pineapple Lemonade Refresher 16 Oz on the same menu comes in at 180 calories. See Mango Pineapple Lemonade Refresher 16 Oz

How many calories in a Caramel Latte?

250 calories for a small against 140 for the plain latte. The syrup accounts for the entire difference.

Does syrup add caffeine?

No. Every espresso drink in this line carries 45mg for a small regardless of flavor. Syrup changes calories and nothing else.

Yes, free of charge, and the calories drop proportionally with each pump removed. The caffeine and protein stay the same.

Hot or iced caramel latte?

The iced version at $4.59 carries 180 calories against 250 here, since ice displaces milk.
