Calories in Starbucks Black Forest Yule Log land at 314 per piece, and every year I forget how rich it is until I’m a few bites in — it only shows up around the holidays. It’s a dense swirl of chocolate sponge, cherry, and cream rolled into a log shape, and with 33g of sugar, it eats more like a proper dessert than a coffee-shop snack. The 16g of fat, 7.4g of it saturated, matches how it tastes — heavy on the chocolate ganache rather than light and airy.
Next to the Chocolate Orange Biscuit Cake, which leans citrusy, the Yule Log is straightforward chocolate-and-cherry with no real complexity beyond that. Protein sits at just 2.1g, so nobody should mistake this for anything but a treat. It’s vegetarian, but not for anyone avoiding wheat, milk, or egg, since all three show up in the recipe.
If you want something smaller from the case, the Cookie Straw is a fraction of the calories, and I’d put the Yule Log in the same once-or-twice-a-season bracket as the Chocolate Chunk Cookie.
