Ryan Horne+FollowStarbucks Ditches Compostable Cups?!Starbucks just pulled the plug on their compostable cup trial in West Hollywood. Turns out, the cups weren’t as eco-friendly as we thought—they needed special commercial composting, and most places can’t handle that. Starbucks says they’re still all about sustainability, but only if it actually works for customers. For now, it’s back to regular cups in the US, but Europe’s still getting the green treatment. Did you try the fiber cups? Would you use your own mug? #Food #Starbucks #Sustainability00Share
gordonangela+FollowStarbucks Goes Local & Green in the DRStarbucks just opened its first shop in the Dominican Republic, but here’s the twist: they’re only serving local Dominican coffee!

So, your next latte could help the planet and the local economy—talk about a win-win! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Starbucks30Share
Michael Morgan+FollowStarbucks’ Secret Pastry Waste ExposedEver wondered why Starbucks pastry cases look so packed? Turns out, baristas double up pastries just for show when corporate visits—then toss the extras! Employees say it’s a common (and super wasteful) practice, even though Starbucks claims to fight food waste. Some stores use fake food displays to cut down on trash, but not all. With food waste being a huge climate issue, should Starbucks do more? Would you still grab a treat knowing this? #Food #Starbucks #FoodWaste40Share
Kim Reeves+FollowStarbucks Needs These Menu Glow-UpsStarbucks' new CEO is shaking things up, but here’s what could really get us back in line: more botanical drinks (think lavender lattes all year), healthy food that’s actually tasty (hello, protein bowls!), and way more ways to customize your order. The big shift? Starbucks is realizing people want more than just coffee—they want options that fit their mood, diet, and cravings. If they nail this, your next coffee run might be a whole new vibe. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Starbucks31Share
Keith Bass+FollowStarbucks’ Feel-Good Month: More Than Just CoffeeDid you know Starbucks isn’t just about your morning latte? Every April, their team jumps into local volunteering—think food banks, youth mentoring, and even clean water projects. This year marks 15 years of their ‘Global Month of Good,’ and it’s a reminder that big brands can spark real change. But here’s the twist: Starbucks still uses billions of single-use cups. So, while they’re giving back, there’s room for us (and them) to sip more sustainably! Next time you grab your coffee, maybe bring your own cup? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Starbucks50Share
Susan Moreno+FollowStarbucks’ Office Ultimatum: Stay or Go?Starbucks just told its office crew: come in four days a week or take a cash buyout and leave. The coffee giant wants more face time to spark creativity and fix slipping sales, but not everyone’s thrilled about trading home-brewed lattes for the office Keurig. If you’re weighing job flexibility, this is a real-world example of how big brands are making tough calls—and offering cash to those who’d rather work (or sip) from home. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Starbucks00Share
Tristan Richards+FollowStarbucks Says: Back to the Office, Folks!Heads up if you work at Starbucks HQ: the company just told its corporate crew to swap pajama pants for office attire four days a week, starting this fall. The goal? More face time, faster fixes, and maybe better coffee ideas. But here’s the twist: while most staff are heading back to their desks, the CEO gets to keep his jet-set commute. If you’re not into the new grind, Starbucks is offering a cash-out to bow out. Will this bring back the Starbucks magic—or just more grumbling? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Starbucks20Share
fnixon+FollowStarbucks Goes Solar—But What’s In It for Us?Starbucks just brewed up a big surprise: they're teaming with Workday to power up a huge solar farm in Texas. Why? They want to keep your coffee eco-friendly and their energy bills lower. The real twist? This move could help local farmers cash in on clean energy, not just big companies. So next time you sip your latte, you’re supporting more than just your caffeine fix—you're backing a greener, fairer energy future. Would you pay extra for a more sustainable cup? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Starbucks10Share
mary01+FollowStarbucks’ New Strato Frapps Are Here!Starbucks just dropped three new Strato Frappuccinos and they sound wild. Think layers of cold foam instead of whipped cream—Salted Caramel Mocha, Strawberry Matcha, and Brown Sugar. Each one has its own fancy foam topping (hello, strawberry cream cold foam!). They’re only here for a limited time to celebrate the Frappuccino’s 30th birthday. Anyone else suddenly craving a coffee run? #Food #Starbucks #Frappuccino60Share
Jason Wells+FollowStarbucks Cup Sparks Outrage in IrvingImagine grabbing your coffee and finding a joke on the cup that feels like a personal attack. That’s what happened to Blanca Lopez at a Starbucks in Irving—her horchata latte came with a message: “What do you call a sick eagle? Illegal.” She was shocked and hurt, especially since she’s lost loved ones to deportation. The incident’s gone viral, with calls for accountability, but so far, Starbucks and Target are staying silent. Would you keep the cup as proof? #Food #Starbucks #IrvingTX00Share
