French Vanilla is the sweet tooth’s coffee order, and it is not really a coffee. It is a cappuccino style powder drink, sweetened and flavoured, with no espresso in it, which is why it sits between the brewed coffees and the hot chocolates on price and far above both on calories. Three of the listings this site cross-checks agree on its prices and calories almost to the cent, which makes this one of the most settled pages on the site.
French Vanilla prices
| Size | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Small, 10 oz | $2.49–$2.69 | 260 |
| Medium, 14 oz | $2.79–$2.99 | 330 |
| Large, 20 oz | $2.99–$3.29 | 430 |
| Extra Large, 24 oz | $3.29–$3.59 | 570 |
There is no Extra Small French Vanilla on any listing. The ladder starts at small and climbs gently, about 30 cents a size, so even the extra large stays under four dollars. What climbs fast is not the price but the calories.
Why the calories run so high
A medium French Vanilla at 330 calories sits next to a medium black coffee at 4. The gap is the drink itself: a sweetened powder base rather than brewed coffee, so the sugar and the calories are built in before anything is added. At extra large, 570 calories makes it the highest calorie hot drink on the standard menu, in dessert territory, ahead of the hot chocolates at the same size. Nobody is saying do not order it. It is worth knowing that a twice a day extra large habit is roughly a meal’s worth of calories in drinks alone.
Is there a sugar-free or lighter French Vanilla?
No. No listing we check shows a sugar-free, low sugar or light version of the drink at any size, and no listing publishes its sugar grams either, which is why this page prints calories without a sugar column rather than inventing one. The lighter hot drinks live elsewhere on the menu: a brewed coffee you sweeten yourself, where you control the count, or a steeped tea at zero calories. Both are priced on the Hot Coffee page.
Does French Vanilla have caffeine?
Yes, unlike the hot chocolates beside it on the menu. Tim Hortons publishes no caffeine figures; third-party estimates put a medium at roughly 60 to 90 milligrams, well below a brewed coffee of the same size. The full caffeine picture, and why every number is an estimate, is on the Nutrition and Allergens page.
