The request for almond milk comes straight from a crowdsourcing initiative called “My Starbucks Idea,” a platform where customers contribute their requests. Almond milk — or “almondmilk,” as Starbucks will call it — was by far the most popular, [the company stated in a release](https://news.starbucks.com/news/almondmilk-coming-to-starbucks-stores). The national rollout will be complete by the end of September. And this isn’t just any generic almondmilk; it’s Starbucks-specific. “It was designed so that when steamed, it creates a rich foam for hot beverages and is delicious and creamy when served in cold beverages,” said Yoke Wong, manager on Starbucks beverage R&D team, [in a statement](https://news.starbucks.com/news/almondmilk-coming-to-starbucks-stores). It will be made with almond butter, and it’s technically “unflavored,” so it should be customizable for all the drinks — at an additional 60-cent cost per drink. It’s worth noting that more than half of U.S. adults consume non-dairy milk, with [almond milk the most popular](http://time.com/3677300/almond-milk-nutrition/?iid=sr-link1) of the those non-dairy options, making it high time for the coffee chain to start catering to what is sure to be an avid consumer base. And what about health? An 8-ounce serving of the specialized almondmilk comes with 3 grams of sugar, Starbucks says. In comparison, you’ll find about 12-13 grams of sugar in your basic 2 percent milk. General internet consensus: it’s about time, Starbucks. > [](https://twitter.com/tberisha/status/763066208832880640) > [](https://twitter.com/Amy%5FDess/status/763055619146383360) > [](https://twitter.com/linawayman/status/763061288209702912) > [](https://twitter.com/wakel27/status/763064922318090241) Starbucks: Almond Milk Added to Menu ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4445303/starbucks-coffee-almond-milk-menu/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4445303/starbucks-coffee-almond-milk-menu/"},"headline":"Now You Can Order Almond Milk With Your Starbucks Coffee","datePublished":"2016-08-09T18:23:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:16.962Z","description":"It's about time","url":"https://time.com/4445303/starbucks-coffee-almond-milk-menu/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfe5680735ba05bab/6988a1baf887dc1a66e9704d/starbucks-almondmilk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfe5680735ba05bab/6988a1baf887dc1a66e9704d/starbucks-almondmilk.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"starbucks-almondmilk","caption":"","creditText":"Starbucks","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4445303/starbucks-coffee-almond-milk-menu/","name":"Now You Can Order Almond Milk With Your Starbucks Coffee"}}]}] ```
