Starbucks is the world's largest coffeehouse chain and one of the most recognised brands globally. Since opening their first UK store in 1998 after acquiring the Seattle Coffee Company, Starbucks has become a beloved fixture on British high streets with over 1,200 locations across the country.
At the heart of Starbucks is their commitment to ethically sourcing the highest quality arabica coffee. Through their C.A.F.E. Practices programme, developed in partnership with Conservation International, 99% of their coffee is verified as ethically sourced. Their expert baristas craft each beverage by hand, from classic Americanos and Lattes to innovative Frappuccinos and seasonal specials.
Starbucks offers an extensive menu beyond coffee, including teas, refreshers, and a range of food options from breakfast items to sandwiches and sweet treats. Their stores provide comfortable spaces to work, meet, or simply enjoy a moment of relaxation, with many offering free WiFi and comfortable seating.
The Starbucks Rewards programme offers one of the most generous loyalty schemes in the industry, with members earning Stars on every purchase that can be redeemed for free drinks, food, and merchandise. Gold members enjoy additional perks including birthday rewards and exclusive offers.
