McDonald’s offers two signature blended coffee drinks on the permanent McCafé menu: the Caramel Frappé and the Mocha Frappé. Both share the same price point ($3.99 Small, $4.49 Medium, $4.99 Large) and identical caffeine levels (90mg in a Medium).
The Caramel Frappé features a buttery, toasted-sugar flavor profile and clocks in at 490 calories for a Medium, whereas the Mocha Frappé blends Dutch-processed cocoa with coffee and tops out slightly higher at 510 calories for a Medium due to the chocolate drizzle.
If you want the creamy caramel coffee taste with fewer calories and less saturated fat, ask for your Caramel Frappé without whipped light cream and without top caramel drizzle—saving roughly 100 calories and 7 grams of fat instantly.
