Introducing the New Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino® Blended Beverage
Your suggestions have led to the creation of some of our most popular Frappuccino® blended beverage flavors, and our latest addition is no different. Inspired by another one of your delicious ideas, we took the ever popular “cookies and cream” flavor and put a Starbucks twist on it: meet the new Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino® blended beverage. Available for a limited time this summer, it’s the creamy classic you crave reinvented for chocolate lovers. It’s a rich blend of mocha sauce, Frappuccino chips, coffee, fresh milk and ice, blended together and topped with chocolaty whipped cream and chocolate cookie crumbles. And just like all of our Frappuccino® … more »
Cochineal Extract Update
As I first shared on March 29 , we’ve learned that we fell short of your expectations by using natural cochineal extract as a colorant in four food and two beverage offerings in the United States. Our commitment to you, our customers, is to serve the highest quality products available. As our customers you expect and deserve better – and we promise to do better. After a thorough, yet fastidious, evaluation, I am pleased to report that we are reformulating the affected products to assure the highest quality possible. Our expectation is to be fully transitioned to lycopene, a natural, tomato-based extract, in the strawberry sauce (base) used in our Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino® … more »
Two Starbucks Petites for $2 for Two Weeks!
Cherry pie filling wrapped in shortbread crust and laden with sparkling sugar crystals? Yes, I want. But wait! Apple pie made with baked apples and cinnamon in a flakey, buttery shortbread crust? Um, yes please! It’s nearly impossible to choose between our new Starbucks Petites Pies, which is why I’m thrilled that for the next two weeks I don’t have to choose. April 9-22, Starbucks is offering any two Starbucks Petites (pies, cake pops, you name it) for just $2 (plus tax if applicable) while supplies last at participating stores, which means I’ll be enjoying a Starbucks Petite Apple Pie and a Starbucks Petite Cherry Pie . Which two are you going to treat yourself to? Inspired … more »
Starbucks Goes to Disneyland!
It’s taken a few years, but your wishes for Starbucks stores in Disney park locations have been granted. It all starts this summer when Disney will open the first of six new Starbucks stores in Disney Theme Parks– starting with Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California. It’s no coincidence that the store lies on Buena Vista Street. Buena Vista means “good view,” and the entire thoroughfare is a masterful recreation of a romantic Los Angeles circa 1920s and 30s. With its Spanish and Mexican architectural influence, it’s not hard to see why a young Walt was inspired by this idyllic setting. In fact, the entire street echoes some of Walt’s favorite … more »
Pittsburgh says Hello to Digital My Starbucks Rewards
Yes! We heard you – My Starbucks Rewards members have told us loud and clear that they want free drink rewards loaded onto their registered Starbucks Cards. In fact, it’s one of our most popular all-time ideas with nearly 70,000 points. I’m thrilled to share that the waiting game is over. Starting this week My Starbucks Rewards begins a pilot of digital rewards in Pittsburgh. Instead of a postcard for earned drinks or birthday beverages, our Pittsburgh-area members will now receive an email to announce that a free drink is loaded onto their Starbucks Card as soon as they earn one. After that, it's a simple process: 1. Visit any store in the Pittsburgh area 2. Tell the barista … more »
In Honor of Teachers
We have a new Starbucks Card I want to tell you about. Our first ever “Teacher Appreciation” Card was created as a way for students and parents to honor the dedicated teachers in their lives. Its launch coincides with 2012’s National Teacher Appreciation Week starting on May 7, but it’s a gesture of gratitude teachers can carry all year long. The card will be available in our stores mid-April (while supplies last), and online for anyone who wants the convenience of the eGift digital version. Sure beats apples, we think.
Squeeze Life™ with Evolution Fresh
Email. Gym. Work. Meetings. Errands. More meetings. Dinner. Sleep. Sound familiar? That was pretty much my day yesterday. And looking back I realized that somehow I went the entire day without having a single fruit or vegetable. Now that’s a rarity, but it happens to the best of us. It’s not because we don’t love the taste or want the nutrition, but because sometimes life just happens. That’s why we’re introducing Evolution Fresh™ juice . No need to run out for more produce in the middle of the week to get the goodness of nature. We fresh squeeze, cold press and never heat our juices so that you get more fresh-picked flavor, vitamins and nutrition in each sip … more »
