Bringing Starbucks to You: How Delivery is Creating New Moments of Connection
I still remember the first time I ordered Starbucks delivery. It was a rainy morning, and I was working from home in back-to-back meetings. I craved my usual – an oatmilk latte and a breakfast sandwich – but couldn’t step away. So I opened my go-to delivery app, placed my order, and 20 minutes later, it arrived: hot, tasty and sealed with care. That small moment of comfort made a big difference in my day.
Now, that same experience is enjoyed by millions of customers across the country. Starbucks delivery is officially available from 100% of eligible U.S. company-operated locations through the apps you already use – DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats. With more coffeehouses participating, delivery is faster, more reliable, and consistently high-quality.
This expansion is part of how we’re evolving to meet our customers where they are. Whether you’re working from home, running errands, or sending a thoughtful treat to someone you care about, delivery offers a new way to enjoy Starbucks – on your terms.
And it’s making a meaningful impact. Our delivery business in the U.S. has continued to expand rapidly, growing nearly 30% year-over-year in the fourth quarter – and surpassing $1 billion in sales for the full fiscal year. Delivery orders are nearly twice the size of in-store transactions, and more than 40% include food.
But beyond the numbers, delivery is about something deeper: connection. It’s about creating small moments of joy – a morning coffee that lifts your spirits, or a surprise snack that says, “I’m thinking of you.” Every order is prepared with care through our Green Apron Service, ensuring quality and attention to detail. With best-in-class order accuracy and customer ratings, and average delivery times under 25 minutes, we’re proud to bring the Starbucks Experience to your doorstep.
As part of our broader “Back to Starbucks” strategy, delivery also helps us stay relevant in a digital-first world – offering convenience without compromising the warmth and care that define who we are. And we’re just getting started. Looking ahead, we’re exploring ways to make delivery even more seamless and personalized.
So whether you’re starting your day, taking a break, or sending a little joy to someone else, Starbucks is just a tap away.
Here’s to more moments, more connection, and more Starbucks – delivered.
