So you want caffeine. Or maybe you're craving sweets. Or maybe you just see a Starbucks and think sure, why not? Because we all know they're everywhere...
Then the problem becomes figuring out what can be made without dairy! Well, your friendly badger barista is here to help with some quick, rule-of-thumb things to remember.

What things ARE vegan-friendly?
-All the hot and iced coffees are vegan-friendly from the base, but if you get milk, make sure to ask for soy or coconut!
-All coffee based lattes - hot or iced - can be made vegan-friendly by substituting soy or coconut milk for the normally used 2%. It's important to note some lattes (cinnamon dolce comes to mind) come with whipped cream and there are NO nondairy whipped cream substitutes available at this time! When in doubt, just say "no whipped cream," just in case.
-All syrup flavors (that is, the liquid flavorings like caramel, vanilla, raspberry, cinnamon dolce, toffee nut, etc.) are vegan friendly and can be added to any drink. If you like the taste of coffee and just want it sweetened, "classic" is your friend!
-Mocha is vegan! Bear in mind, however, that if you're getting a mocha (hot or iced), you'll want to get it with either soy or coconut milk and no whipped cream!.
-Almost all frappuccinos can be made vegan-friendly. Substitute soy or coconut for the whole milk normally used... and make sure to specify no whipped cream (only coffee and espresso frappuccinos don't get this). Caramel drizzle is not vegan-friendly, so if you get a caramel frapp, make sure to ask them to leave this off as well! Vanilla bean is vegan-friendly, as is the green tea/matcha, strawberry, and other non-coffee flavors. Some of the seasonal frappuccinos cannot be made vegan (I'm lookin' at you, S'mores), so be careful! When in doubt, ask what's in the drink.
-All iced refreshers, teas, and tea-lemonades are vegan-friendly.
-Hot cocoa made with soy and no whipped cream is vegan-friendly.
-Green tea lattes can be easily made vegan by substituting soy or coconut milk. Same rules apply to earl grey tea lattes and any tea or tea latte made with a tea bag.

What things are NOT vegan-friendly?
-White mocha contains dairy.
-Chai and Oprah chai from concentrate both contain honey. If you would like chai, the tea bags that Starbucks offers are vegan-friendly! Just make sure you specify you'd like your latte made with the tea bags instead of the liquid concentrate. And note that the bags are the Oprah (cinnamon) chai, but not sweetened. As always, soy or coconut milk is the rule.
-Caramel drizzle contains dairy. Caramel syrup does not. This rules out caramel macchiatos, but not caramel lattes.
-Light frappuccino base contains dairy. Coffee and creme bases are vegan-friendly.
-Caramel apple spices can kind of be made vegan, but they get the "caramel" from drizzle, which contains dairy... so if you got it without whipped cream, without drizzle, and add a little caramel syrup, you could get something similar... but it would not be the same. Same goes for macchiatos.
-Smoothies get special mention here, because making them vegan is possible... but you have to remember some specific things. Soy or coconut milk, of course, but all smoothies contain whey protein as well, so be sure to ask them to leave that out... otherwise, smoothies are not vegan-friendly!

This doesn't cover food, but there's not much to be said there. No pastries are vegan-friendly except the plain and multigrain bagels... but the oatmeal can be made with steamed soy milk, and it's pretty tasty!
A few special tips: get vanilla syrup in your soy green tea lattes and iced green teas instead of classic. Graham cracker frappuccinos are pretty amazing (and if you get mocha in it, it's like a dark chocolate covered graham cracker). And cinnamon dolce+toffee nut is weirdly delicious, but extremely rich/sugary.

I think that about covers it, but if you have any specific questions or requests, feel free to ask!
