Calories in Starbucks Baked Cheese Swirl

The Baked Cheese Swirl is the savory pick in a case full of sweet pastries, a laminated dough swirl baked with cheese running through it. One piece comes to 311 calories, with 17.8g of fat and 9.4g saturated, reflecting the buttery pastry base and the cheese itself.

Sugar is refreshingly low here at just 3g, since there’s no sweet filling to speak of, while protein reaches 8.8g thanks to the cheese and egg wash. Sodium runs higher than most bakery items at 560mg, which tracks with a cheese-forward recipe. It’s vegetarian, though it does contain wheat, milk, and egg.

This is my go-to when I want something savory alongside a coffee rather than another sweet pastry, and the Artisan Sausage Blaa is a good next pick if you want even more protein in your breakfast.
