845 - is this a well edumucated guess, or sure and certain knowledge? Cos if it is 845 calories in one drink, that is more than you need in a meal!

Just a guess.

According to Starbucks themselves, a "Caramel Brulee Latte" - Grande, skimmed milk – is 310 calories. 360 if made with 2% (semi-skimmed) milk or soy, 390 if whole milk. Add 90 calories for a dollop of whipped cream on top.

I'm guessing it's the US name for the same drink (because there's a whole set of "Creme" drinks, which I guess it means they blend in a doughnut, sorry, "do-nut" or something).

Compare with 130 calories for a skinny latte, or better yet, 5 for a simple black filter coffee and 15 for an Americano.

I was going to ask where this was, but now I see. I'd probably throw out my calorie count for a day to try it. :-)

I walk past this coffee shop (Cafe Nero) every afternoon on the way to work.

First the sandwich shop. Then the fruit shop. Then - this.

I seriously doubt I could drink more than one mouthful of this. Sweet milky coffee is sooooooo not my thing

Mmmm, sweet milky coffee! But I was raised under my dad and grandfather drinking it that way, lol. I do love a nice strong cuppa every now and again though.

I think I'd never have any money if I had to pass these treats every day!
