The best canned lattes eliminate the need for a stop at the coffee shop, but they taste (almost) as good as barista-brewed coffee. If espresso mixed with steamed milk is your morning drink of choice, I\u2019m pleased to report that there are lots of grab-and-go options at the grocery store. Prefer an Americano? Sorry, you\u2019re out of luck. But you\u2019re gonna find a lotta lattes\u2014just hope you like \u2018em cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be perfectly honest, I don\u2019t think canned and bottled lattes\u2014even the best lattes on the market\u2014are going to supplant your favorite drink from your favorite local coffee shop. Keep supporting small businesses; always tip your baristas. But a canned latte is a great supplement  when you get a sudden craving for coffee at the grocery store or only have time to stop for gas on the way to work and need to grab something quick from the convenience store (and it\u2019s 8:30 a.m. so you\u2019d feel guilty grabbing a Diet Coke). The next time a latte emergency strikes, these are the best canned lattes to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starbucks Vanilla Latte<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n

This is a little bit of a format buster for this list. While most of the lattes we tried came in individually sized bottles and cans, this Starbucks Vanilla Latte comes in a big ol\u2019 40-ounce bottle that you can keep in the fridge and fill your to-go mug with before you rush out the door in the morning. It\u2019s also good for households with multiple adults. And, yes, it tastes good, especially if you\u2019re accustomed to the flavor of Starbucks coffee and you like a very sugary latte flavor. Is this latte dramatically different than a bottled vanilla Frappuccino? No, not really. But it tastes pretty good and I think its packaging makes it uniquely useful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla is one of the most popular latte flavors (by a longshot), and this oat milk version from La Colombe was the best version we tried in our taste test. And it\u2019s dairy free! We actually tasted this head to head with La Colombe\u2019s regular dairy vanilla latte and liked this one way better. This one is creamier and doesn\u2019t have as harsh of an extract flavor. Something about the thickness of the oat milk just works better. If you like a flavored latte, this is the best canned latte going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you (like me) are sad that soy milk is basically being phased out of the coffee shop world, it\u2019s time to get on the oat milk train. It\u2019s creamy and delicious and perfect in a latte, canned or otherwise. All of oat milk\u2019s best qualities are really pronounced in this Rise Oat Milk Latte. It\u2019s ultra creamy and sweet without being too sweet. Honestly, none of these canned lattes are as coffee-forward as they could be, but if you love oat milk, you\u2019ll love this. It\u2019s indulgent and delicious and it would make a list of the best canned lattes even if it weren\u2019t dairy free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Colombe Triple<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the best canned lattes, La Colombe is the most trustworthy brand going. And this Triple latte was the only one that really tasted like coffee. It tastes roasty and good. It even smells like coffee as soon as you crack open the can. It has a little bit of bitterness that lingers in your throat as you sip, but in a good, espresso-y way. If you want a canned latte that actually tastes like a latte, this is the best latte you can buy in a grab-and-go format. Did I mention it has 175 milligrams of caffeine per can? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
