Now you can make your morning cup of joe taste just like your fave Starbucks flavor—minus the trip to see your local barista. In yet another awesome innovation from the Nestlé-Starbucks partnership, the coffee company is poised to launch a line of creamers and they’re coming to your grocery store’s shelves.
This isn’t the first time Sbucks and Nestlé have teamed up to create coffee-filled goodness. The two mega-brands have also paired to bring coffee lovers a line of beans (to brew yourself) and Nespresso pods.
With the addition of the new line of creamers, you can take your coffee game to the next level. So what flavors will Starbucks bring to grocery store shoppers? The line features White Chocolate, Caramel and Cinnamon Dolce flavors. And if PSL’s have taken over your daydreams, Starbucks recently announced the launch of a new Pumpkin Spice Creamer!
Along with the fall-inspired creamer, you can up your coffee game at home with Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Flavored Ground Coffee K-Cup Pods, Pumpkin Spice Flavored Ground Coffee, Pumpkin Spice Latte K-Cup Pods, VIA Instant Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Spice Ready-to-Drink beverages.
Find the new line of creamers, and the rest of the at-home Pumpkin Spice goodness, at your local grocery store!
Welcome summer! Jun. 21 is the summer solstice and Dunkin’ wants to help you celebrate with free coffee.
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. Even though the added daylight gives you the chance to squeeze in just one more errand, run around the playground, or stroller-led jog around the block, it also adds to your exhaustion. And that’s why Dunkin’ is giving customers a free Vanilla Shot in the Dark (coffee espresso blend) delivered to their door!
So how can you get a free can of Vanilla-flavored coffee goodness today from Dunkin’? To start with, you need an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant equipped device. Just say, “send me a sample of Dunkin’ Shot in the Dark.” That’s it!
NYC coffee lovers can also get a free sample in-person (while supplies last). Visit the Dunkin’ pop-up shop at 213 Bowery after 10 a.m. on Jun. 21.
Cold brew is basically the tired mom’s secret weapon: it’s naturally sweet, smooth and best of all, caffeinated. Listen up, mamas: Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew is (finally) making its way to all the coffee retailer’s company-owned stores by the end of 2019! We’ve got the deets on all the chilled happiness.
Fans of this fave know that Nitro Cold Brew isn’t exactly new—but only cold coffee lovers in select cities were privy to it. Now, according to transcripts from the company’s 27th annual shareholders meeting on Mar. 20, it looks like popular drink is going nationwide.
The Nitro Cold Brew is at its heart, a cold cup o’ coffee. What makes the Nitro Cold Brew such a treat is that Starbucks brews its delish drink in small batches, slow-steeping it to create a smooth taste before infusing it with nitrogen for a sweet finishing flavor. Beyond the taste, the nitrogen also adds a special bubbly texture, giving the coffee a tasty froth, not unlike a pint of beer.
Look for Nitro Cold Brew to roll out at Starbucks stores nationwide sometime this year.
Ah, the day we’ve all not-so-patiently been waiting for is finally here: Starbucks delivery from Uber Eats is launching in select major cities—and soon!
Following market tests in Miami and Tokyo, Starbucks announced an expansion of their coffee delivery service was in the works. “Starbucks Delivers” took China by storm, making its way into more than 1,100 stores in 17 cities across the country. By year’s end, Starbucks projected that more than 2,000 stores in 30 cities would get to participate in the much-loved delivery option.
So where will Starbucks deliver to in the United States? Starbucks delivery via the Uber Eats app began on Jan. 22 for San Francisco customers. Following the San Fran delivery debut, coffee-lovers in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, New York City and Washington, D.C. will soon get the chance to order their lattes, Frappuccinos and other Starbucks’ treats for delivery.
While Starbucks hasn’t released a start date for delivery in cities other than San Francisco, look for it to start (via the Uber Eats app) in the coming months.
