Starbucks offers a wide range of drinks in all shapes and sizes. Trenta cup is the 'Starbucks secret size' and the largest on the menu.
It's called the Starbucks secret size because they don’t offer it for every drink, and even if you can find it you'll see it's a lot more expensive.
You don't want to spend more on a massive drink that you won’t enjoy or embarrass yourself trying to order a drink you can’t.
We're here to help, and in this guide, we'll show you all the best Starbucks Trenta drinks on the regular and Starbucks secret menu, so you know exactly what’s available.

How To Order Trenta Size Drinks At Starbucks?
A Trenta cup is the largest size of the Starbucks coffee sizes, but it's only available for cold drinks.
The word Trenta actually comes from the Italian for 30, but confusingly, the Starbucks Trenta cup holds 31 ounces.[3]
The extra ounce is there so there’s room for ice floating on the top of your iced coffee.
You won’t see a Trenta cup in the regular Starbucks coffee sizes and it's considered a Starbucks secret menu size.
Because of this, many people think Venti is the largest Starbucks option. However, if you ask the barista for Trenta, they'll supersize your drink.
Trenta isn’t available for hot drinks, presumably because of safety reasons. They did used to have this option on the Starbucks menu, but they now don’t make many espresso-based drinks in this size.
In fact, they really limit the Trenta options in some regions because some Starbucks drinks would just be too caffeinated or calorific for customers (for example, if you ordered a Trenta Starbucks Frappuccino, it would probably have over 1000 calories!).
Instead, most Trenta drinks are iced coffees or iced teas, with a few specialties and fruity options drinks.
You can still get some very sweet Starbucks Trenta drinks, and they are usually made with at least 7 pumps of syrup.
Make sure you keep an eye on the sugar and calorie content of your drink because Trentas are almost always the least healthy Starbucks option.
We're shown you a lot of Trenta drinks on the regular menu, but you can also order from the Starbucks secret menu.
The Starbucks secret menu is basically the list of regular and iced drinks you can request using the wide range of ingredients they have available.
The Starbucks secret menu options have to be ordered specifically from your barista, but you can customise drinks how you like to make sure it meets your tastes, and the Starbucks secret menu opens up a whole new world of Trenta possibilities.
Trenta is the most expensive option and will usually cost $0.50-$1 extra. However, it can also offer some good value if you share it with a friend.
You can still customize Trenta drinks, but it will cost you more because they’ll have to add a greater quantity of the ingredients.
Trenta cup drinks are perfect when you need to cold drinks or iced coffee on a hot day, and a Venti just won't hit the spot.
Frequently Asked Starbucks Trenta Drink Questions
Is Trenta bigger than Venti?
Yes, a Venti is 24 ounces while a Trenta is 30 ounces.
Can you get a Frappuccino in Trenta?
No, Starbucks does not sell Trenta frappuccinos. They used to but the calorie and sugar content was too high, so they removed them as an option.
Can you get a Trenta caramel macchiato?
No, they do not offer espresso-based drinks in Trenta size, so you won’t be able to order a Trenta caramel macchiato.
Conclusion
With great size comes great responsibility, and Starbucks have taken that seriously by limiting the regular and iced drinks they offer in Trenta.
They've kept the list small and only offer drinks that will still taste great and won't have a ridiculous number of calories - which is why Trenta is described as the Starbucks 'secret size'.
However, hopefully, this list has introduced you to some Trenta Starbucks drinks that you’ll like, and you have a few new Starbucks secret size options to try on your next visit.

Hi Lea! Thank you for your feedback. We will keep that in mind when we update this page in the near future.
Half of these drinks aren’t on the menu anymore. Also maybe don’t encourage children to get 30 oz of the refreshers when they’re caffeinated?
