Calories in Starbucks Ham & Cheese Ciabatta

Calories in Starbucks Ham & Cheese Ciabatta land at 478 per piece — this is one of the heavier lunch options at Starbucks, and I don’t think that’s a knock against it, since it’s built to actually fill you up rather than just tide you over until dinner. With 25g of protein, the bread makes the difference here too; ciabatta holds its shape under the ham and cheese without turning into a soggy mess by the time you’ve unwrapped it.

It’s not vegetarian, and the sodium is worth noting at 1040mg, a big chunk of a daily allowance in one sandwich. Wheat is the flagged allergen, and beyond that it’s a pretty straightforward combination — no surprise ingredients hiding in the mix.

If you want something spicier in the same category, the Spicy Falafel Pocket goes a completely different direction, while the Chicken & Hot Honey Ciabatta uses the same bread with more kick. For an egg-based alternative that’s just as filling, the Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich is worth comparing calorie-for-calorie.
