Introduction:
Starbucks serves hot and cold drinks, whole-bean coffee, micro-ground instant coffee, espresso, caffe latte, full and loose-leaf teas, juices, Frappuccino beverages, pastries, and snacks.
In 2021–2022, votes to join Starbucks unions were successful at multiple Starbucks locations, including in cities such as Seattle, Buffalo, Rochester, Ithaca, Kansas City and Manhattan.
The rise of the second wave of coffee culture is generally attributed to Starbucks, which introduced a wider variety of coffee experiences.
By bringing people together over coffee, Starbucks has become one of the world's best-known and best-loved companies. We purchase, roast and serve award-winning coffee. We also offer Italian-style espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, delicious food, premium teas and selected compact discs through our retail stores. Working at Starbucks is a lot like working with your friends. When you work here, you're not an "employee" – we call ourselves "partners" because we believe in shared common goals and mutual success. We're dedicated to serving ethically sourced coffee, caring for the environment and giving back to the communities where we do business. Starbucks is an equal opportunity employer of all qualified individuals, including minorities, women, veterans and individuals with disabilities.
