The best and worst breakfasts you can get at Starbucks, ranked
The best and worst breakfasts you can get at Starbucks, ranked

Starbucks may be famous for its coffee, but the chain is also widely known for its selection of hot breakfast items.
Over the course of one month, I tried all the hot breakfast items from my local Starbucks and ranked them from worst to best.
The bacon, Gouda, and egg sandwich did not meet my expectations.
On the other hand, my favorite items were the double-smoked bacon sandwich and spinach, feta, and egg-white wrap.
Over many years of eating on the run, I've concluded there's no better place to fill up in the morning than Starbucks.
In addition to its ever-expanding selection of baked goods, Starbucks currently offers a variety of hot breakfast items as part of its café menu.
Over the course of a month, I decided to visit my local Starbucks locations to try every item on the chain's hot breakfast menu. In the end, I spent roughly $50 dollars tasting the 12 items that were available.
Here is my ranking of every hot breakfast item from my local Starbucks.
Editor's Note: This article was originally published in May 2020. The prices are based on several California locations. Item availability may vary by location. Starbucks added two breakfast wraps to the menu after this was written, so they are not included on this list.
