Greggs Iced Matcha Latte
Greggs Iced Matcha Latte: Price, Flavours & Calories
What’s actually in it, what it costs at every type of Greggs, and the real calorie count — taken straight from Greggs’ own nutrition sheet rather than a rounded-up guess.
When I first heard Greggs was launching a matcha latte, I laughed. This is the chain that made its name on sausage rolls and steak bakes, not wellness drinks. But it happened anyway, and by the sounds of the queues outside a few branches in February, quite a lot of you want to know exactly what you’re getting for your money.
So I’ve pulled together everything worth knowing in one place: every flavour, the exact price at each type of branch, and the calorie counts straight from Greggs’ own published nutrition data rather than a number someone’s rounded up for a headline. Let’s get into it.
The quick answer
- Launched: Thursday 5 February 2026, rolled out to Greggs shops across the UK
- Flavours: Classic, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Blueberry (added June 2026)
- Price: from £2.65 for the Classic at a standard store, up to £4.55 for a flavoured version at an airport branch
- Calories: 100 kcal (Classic) to 149 kcal (Strawberry), per Greggs’ official nutrition data
- Size: one size only, a 12oz cup served over ice — there’s no small or large option
What is the Greggs Iced Matcha Latte?
It’s Greggs’ first proper go at the matcha trend that’s been all over UK coffee shops for a couple of years now. The range landed in shops nationwide on Thursday 5 February 2026, made from matcha green tea whisked with semi-skimmed milk and poured over ice. To mark the launch, Greggs even ran a one-off pop-up called Matcha & Move in central London, pairing a Pilates class with iced matcha and a sausage roll, which is about as on-brand a mash-up as you’ll find on the high street this year.
The idea is simple: bring a trending, slightly premium-feeling drink to Greggs’ famously low prices, without pretending to be a proper specialist matcha bar. And based on the numbers below, it mostly does exactly that.
The flavours: what’s actually in each one
There are four flavours on the menu right now. The first three launched together in February 2026, and Blueberry joined the line-up in June 2026 as the newest addition.
| Flavour | What’s in it | What it’s like |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Iced Matcha Latte | Matcha green tea, semi-skimmed milk | Grassy, gently bitter, the least sweet of the four |
| Vanilla Iced Matcha Latte | Matcha green tea, semi-skimmed milk, vanilla flavour syrup with sugar and sweetener | Rounder and sweeter, vanilla softens the earthy matcha edge |
| Strawberry Iced Matcha Latte | Matcha green tea, semi-skimmed milk, strawberry flavour syrup, vanilla flavour syrup with sugar and sweetener | The sweetest of the bunch, tastes more like a strawberry milkshake with a matcha kick |
| Blueberry Iced Matcha Latte | Matcha green tea, semi-skimmed milk, blueberry flavour syrup with sugar and sweetener | Newest flavour, fruity and slightly tart against the matcha |
If you want the full run-down of every other drink on the menu alongside these, the Greggs drinks menu category page on greggsmenusprices.co.uk keeps a running list with prices and calories for the whole range, hot and cold.
How much does it cost? (2026 price breakdown)
Here’s the bit most people actually search for. Like the rest of the Greggs menu, the Iced Matcha Latte is priced in three tiers depending on where you buy it: standard high-street stores, City and London branches, and franchise sites, which mostly means airports and motorway services.
| Flavour | Standard store | City / London | Airport / Franchise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Iced Matcha Latte | £2.65 | £2.95 | £3.45 |
| Vanilla Iced Matcha Latte | £3.50 | £4.00 | £4.55 |
| Strawberry Iced Matcha Latte | £3.50 | £4.00 | £4.55 |
| Blueberry Iced Matcha Latte* | ~£3.50 | ~£4.00 | ~£4.55 |
*Blueberry launched at “from £3.60” and, going by how Greggs has priced every other flavoured matcha drink, almost certainly sits at the same tier as Vanilla and Strawberry. Worth double-checking in your app if it matters to your weekly budget.

Calories, sugar & what’s actually in your cup
This is where I think most price-comparison pages let you down: they either skip the nutrition entirely or quote a rounded number that doesn’t match what Greggs itself publishes. So here’s the real data, taken from Greggs’ own nutritional information sheet (correct as of June 2026), for the as-served 12oz iced cup.
| Flavour | Portion | Energy | Fat | Sat. fat | Carbs | Sugars | Protein | Salt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | 478ml | 100 kcal | 3.3g | 1.9g | 10g | 9.1g | 7.6g | 0.24g |
| Vanilla | 482ml | 140 kcal | 3.4g | 1.9g | 21g | 20g | 6.7g | 0.24g |
| Strawberry | 481ml | 149 kcal | 3.4g | 1.9g | 23g | 19g | 6.7g | 0.24g |
| Blueberry | n/a | not yet published | — | — | — | — | — | — |
Calories per flavour, based on Greggs’ official nutrition data. Blueberry is an estimate, marked with a dashed outline.
A couple of things stand out here. First, the Classic is genuinely light for a milk-based drink at 100 kcal, less than a single custard cream. Second, the jump from Classic to the flavoured versions is almost entirely down to added sugar in the syrups, roughly double the sugar and 40-50 more calories per cup once you add a flavour. If you’re roughly counting a 2,000 kcal daily reference intake, even the Strawberry only accounts for about 7% of it.
On caffeine: matcha is ground green tea, so it does contain caffeine, generally less per cup than a filter coffee but more than a herbal tea. If you’re having more than one iced matcha a day alongside your usual coffee, or you’re pregnant and keeping an eye on total caffeine, the NHS guidance on caffeine and drinks is a genuinely useful, jargon-free page to check where you stand.
For a full breakdown of calories across the rest of the Greggs menu, not just drinks, the Greggs Calorie Counting section on greggsmenusprices.co.uk is worth bookmarking, and their Calorie & Price Calculator will total up a full order, including this drink, before you get to the counter.
How does it compare to Costa and Starbucks?
Short version: nobody touches Greggs on price, and it isn’t especially close.
Entry-level iced matcha latte pricing across three UK high-street chains, 2026.
| Chain | Entry price | Approx. calories |
|---|---|---|
| Greggs (Classic, standard store) | £2.65 | 100 kcal |
| Costa (Small, 345ml) | £4.50 | 84 kcal |
| Starbucks (Tall, approx.) | ~£4.65 | ~120 kcal (Grande) |
Costa’s smallest matcha is actually lower in calories than Greggs’ Classic, since it’s a smaller cup, but you’re paying nearly £2 more for it. Starbucks sits in similar territory to Costa on price. If budget is the deciding factor and you don’t mind a simpler, less “café” version of the drink, Greggs wins comfortably.
Is it good value? Fitting it into a meal deal
One thing worth flagging if you’re a regular meal-deal user: specialty iced lattes, including the whole Iced Matcha range, aren’t included in Greggs’ meal deal pricing by default. Adding one to the Big Deal (Greggs’ main £5.25 main-plus-side-plus-drink bundle) typically adds around £1.20 on top, rather than being covered by the base price. It’s still usually cheaper than buying the drink and food separately, just worth knowing before you get to the till.
If you’re trying to work out whether it’s cheaper to add matcha to a meal deal or buy everything separately, the Meal Deal Value Comparison Tool on greggsmenusprices.co.uk does the maths for you. And if you’re the sort of person who has one of these most weekdays (no judgement), their Weekly Spend & Annual Savings Calculator is a slightly alarming but useful way to see what a daily matcha habit actually costs over a year.
5 tips to get it cheaper
- Sign up to the Greggs App first. New users get a free hot or iced drink on registration, so your first Iced Matcha Latte could cost nothing.
- Stick to standard high-street stores. Airport and motorway-service branches run 27-55% higher across the whole menu, and the matcha range is no exception.
- Check your bank or network perks before you order. O2 Priority and Monzo Perks both run rotating free-drink offers at Greggs, and it’s always worth a quick check of the app before you queue.
- Bring your own cup if you’re getting it iced regularly. The 25p reusable-cup discount is usually aimed at hot drinks, so ask in-store whether it applies to the iced range at your branch.
- Factor in the meal-deal surcharge. If you’re adding it to the Big Deal, budget for roughly +£1.20 rather than assuming it’s included at the base price.
My honest verdict
I went in expecting a novelty and came out mildly impressed. The Classic is genuinely more matcha-forward than I thought a bakery chain would bother getting right, slightly bitter, not overly milky, and properly cold. The Strawberry, if I’m honest, tastes much more like a strawberry milkshake with a green tint than anything a matcha purist would recognise, but it’s exactly what it’s trying to be: an easy, sweet, gateway drink for people who think matcha sounds intimidating.
For the price, especially at a standard store, I don’t think there’s a better-value iced matcha on the UK high street right now. It’s not going to replace a proper matcha bar if that’s what you’re after, but as a quick, cheap, cold pick-me-up alongside your usual Greggs order, it does exactly what it says on the cup.
