It happens millions of times each week—a customer receives a drink from a Starbucks barista. But no two moments are ever the same. Each handoff, each smile, and each cup represents more than coffee—it represents a connection. And that connection is at the heart of who we are. We make sure everything we do honours that promise. From our passion for serving the highest quality coffee in the world to the way we engage with our customers, partners, and communities, Starbucks is built on responsibility, respect, and care. From our beginnings as a single store nearly forty years ago, our journey has always been about more than coffee. In every place we’ve been and in every community we touch, we strive to leave it a little better than we found it. That is what Starbucks is truly about.
