McDonald's Mocha (small) Complete Information

A McDonald's Mocha (Small) costs $3.69 and carries 290 calories with 8g of protein and 45mg of caffeine. Espresso, steamed milk and chocolate, finished with whipped cream.

At 290 calories it is the heaviest hot espresso drink on the McCafe menu, and the whipped cream is a real part of that rather than a garnish. Against the plain $4.29 Latte (Small) at 140 calories, the chocolate and cream add a hundred and fifty for the same 45mg of caffeine and the same price. It reads as a dessert drink and is priced as a coffee, which is unusual on this board. The iced version at $3.96 is lighter at 270 calories. Pair it with a Baked Hot Apple Pie, or take it instead of dessert.

Health Insight

At 290 calories and 39g of sugar, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Orange Dream 16 Oz on the same menu comes in at 230 calories. See Orange Dream 16 Oz

Mocha (small) Questions

How much is a mocha at McDonald's?

A small Mocha is $3.69 at a typical US restaurant, the same as the $3.69 Caramel Macchiato. Both are medians from live restaurant listings.

How many calories in a McDonald’s mocha?

290 calories for a small, the heaviest hot espresso drink on the McCafe menu. The whipped cream is a genuine part of that figure.

How much caffeine is in a mocha?

45mg for a small, the espresso baseline. The chocolate adds a very small amount on top, which is not enough to move the published figure.

Can I order it without whipped cream?

Yes, free of charge, and it takes a meaningful share of the 290 calories off. The chocolate remains, so it stays well above a plain latte.

Hot or iced mocha?

The iced version at $3.96 carries 270 calories against 290 here. Ice displaces milk, which is where the difference comes from.
