French Vanilla Latte Price and Size — Direct Answer
USA • July 2026
Which French Vanilla Latte Size Should You Choose?
Small French Vanilla Latte
$2.99 reference • 250 calories
Choose Small when you want the flavor but prefer the lowest price and calorie total of the three standard sizes.
Medium French Vanilla Latte
$3.79 reference • 320 calories
Medium provides more drink than Small without reaching the Large drink’s 400-calorie total.
Large French Vanilla Latte
$4.49 reference • 400 calories
Choose Large when serving size matters more than minimizing calories or total spend.
Best choice for most users: Medium is the practical middle option. It adds 70 calories over Small, while Large adds another 80 calories over Medium.

Does the French Vanilla Latte Qualify for Rewards or Deals?
Rewards earning
Eligible McCafé purchases can earn MyMcDonald’s Rewards points after the account opts in.
App promotions
Coffee or beverage discounts can appear in the Deals section, but they can be personalized or limited by restaurant.
McValue distinction
The French Vanilla Latte is not one of the nationally listed Under-$3 McValue drinks. Medium Premium Roast Coffee is the advertised coffee choice.

How to Check the Exact French Vanilla Latte Price Near You
Search by ZIP code, city, address or device location.
Confirm the complete address because nearby restaurants can show different prices.
Pickup avoids mixing delivery pricing and fees into the basic drink comparison.
Find the Latte section and select French Vanilla Latte, not Iced French Vanilla Coffee.
Record the price for the exact size rather than relying on the first displayed amount.
Check milk, syrup and other options and whether they change the price.
Confirm that the deal visibly reduces the amount in the order bag.
Verify the restaurant, size, tax, order method, fees and checkout price before paying.
