Thanks to you Starbucks is recognized as the #1 Best Coffee and #1 Quick Refreshment Chain in the 2010 Zagat Survey® of National Chain Restaurants. We’re honored that you have again selected Starbucks as the best coffee in the U.S. We take pride in offering coffees from around the world that reflect both their unique characteristics and our commitment to seeking out the best coffee beans, and we want to thank you, our coffee buyers, coffee roasters, and baristas who all had a hand in making us the favorite coffee that we are today.

A Favorite Fall Flavor Returns – Pumpkin Spice Latte
August 26, 2010
by Kelly B
Hi everyone, I’m Kelly, a product manager on the Espresso team. I am here to announce the happy return of a customer favorite, Pumpkin Spice Latte! This fall will mark the 7th year we’ve offered Pumpkin Spice Latte in our stores. This beverage is a delicious blend of pumpkin and traditional fall spice flavors, such as cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg, combined with our signature espresso and freshly steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices. Coming to Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte has become a wonderful tradition, and in some cases a daily ritual for customers over the years. Start your very own tradition at your favorite Starbucks this fall. Enjoy!

Passion and Persistence: My New Orleans Story As we approach the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s impact on the Gulf Coast, I wanted to share with you part of our journey. On the day the hurricane hit -- August 29, 2005 -- I was the district manager of Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Lake Charles, Louisiana. In those early days after the storm, I quickly realized that Starbucks partners would find their own unique ways to help each other, and their communities, rebuild. While those outside the area worked hard to gather supplies, collect donations and work to reopen stores, a large local team was focused on finding every partner from the area. This was no small task and it was made … more »
About ants and sustainability…

Hi. I am Ed Miller from the Licensed Stores Business development team. I want to share a few examples of how our Starbucks Shared Planet initiatives are embraced by our Starbucks Licensed Stores. The first example involves an old barn in San Antonio. As a normal course of business, Starbucks routinely refreshes and renovates our stores as needed. When we decided to renovate a store in the San Antonio airport, our licensed operating partner, HMSHost, asked to design a store that used locally sourced materials and reflected the local culture of San Antonio. The Starbucks Design team came across the wood remnants of an old barn located a few miles away from the airport. All of the work was completed … more »

August 27, 2010
by Dub Hay
Everyone claims to have the world's best coffee! Not often are the words exotic, rare and exquisite used to describe coffee. For Starbucks to append all three words to a limited time offering, the coffee must be really special. We've introduced Starbucks Reserve™ Coffee to a limited number of U.S. stores.
