Can I drink this? With soy milk of course? Someone tell me yes!

    No sorry :(

    Most Starbucks soy lattes are vegan but not that one. I think it's that they use dairy or butter in the syrup. This guide is the one that I've found to be the most trustworthy so far, but it's a little out of date. There was some hoopla about carmine (crushed beetles) being used in the strawberry food coloring, but I believe they changed back because of the uproar, as Starbucks had marketed that as vegan friendly.

    unfortunately not :(....I looked into it before I went to buy one just to make sure...they use dairy in the pre mix or something....I found a great do-it-yourself vegan alternative :

    As far as I can tell pumpkin flavoring at Starbucks, Caribou, and Dunn Brothers are all a NO go for vegan :( I'm hoping to find a local cafe around me that serves a vegan pumpkin anything!
