Starbucks Corporation is an American coffeecompany and coffeehouse chain. Starbucks was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1971. As of 2017, the company operates 26,696locations worldwide.
Starbucks is considered the main representative of "second wave coffee", initially distinguishing itself from other coffee-serving venues in the US by taste, quality, and customer experience while popularizing darkly roasted coffee.[5] Since the 2000s, third wave coffee makers have targeted quality-minded coffee drinkers with hand-made coffee based on lighter roasts, while Starbucks nowadays uses automated espresso machines for efficiency and safety reasons.[5][6]
Starbucks locations serve hot and cold drinks, whole-bean coffee, microground instant coffee known as VIA, espresso, caffe latte, full- and loose-leaf teas including Teavana tea products,[7] Evolution Fresh juices, Frappuccino beverages, La Boulange pastries, and snacks including items such as chips and crackers; some offerings (including their annual fall launch of the Pumpkin Spice Latte) are seasonal or specific to the locality of the store. Many stores sell pre-packaged food items, hot and cold sandwiches, and drinkware including mugs and tumblers; select "Starbucks Evenings" locations offer beer, wine, and appetizers.[8] Starbucks-brand coffee, ice cream, and bottled cold coffee drinks are also sold at grocery stores.
Starbucks first became profitable in Seattle in the early 1980s.[9] Despite an initial economic downturn with its expansion into the Midwest and British Columbia in the late 1980s,[10] the company experienced revitalized prosperity with its entry into California in the early 1990s.[11] The first Starbucks location outside North America opened in Tokyo in 1996; overseas properties now constitute almost one-third of its stores.[12] The company opened an average of two new locations daily between 1987 and 2007.[13]
On December 1, 2016, Howard Schultzannounced he would resign as CEO effective April 2017 and would be replaced by Kevin Johnson. Johnson assumed the role of CEO on April 3, 2017...
Good coffee and nice Jazz music. Plenty of seating. Toilets were very smelly though.
Amazing branch for starbucks coffee especially at weekends, decent seating and comfortable chairs, good thing it is not crowded and open 24/7 , also have small place for smokers and vapers but it is so tiny and will not recommened heavy smokers there , staff is really good at this branch
Place is great has a good seating option, but needs more parking spaces.
I love the place its calm you can have your coffee, study/work and an outdoor area for smoking plus its also shaded perfect for winter
Very nice service. Very welcoming staff.
It is one nice cozy place for a coffee and meeting.
😎 cool 24 houres service! Spacious Place different type of seats available. Regular menu for a Coffee Shops Brand. The food and beverage quality are OK . The neighborhood is quite , the location itself is special only a few people knows the place the main building design refer to a private residence or a government place with the amaising Arches and Domes on the roof top. The reason that each time you will visit the place you will have that feeling of Deja Vu! you will see a previously known or seen person and one more important thing, The Clients are of all ages and genders locals and expats. The added value is the hidden outdoor seats inside the facility for the smokers most of the time!
green tea matcha was amazing. the coffee shop is still cozy.
A very convenient location, great for grabbing a morning coffee on the commute to work if you are living close by.
Nice ambience of the shop will attract everybody. Good service.
A quiet ambiance to have coffee and close to C-Ring and Rawdat Al Khail junction.
This branch is usually quiet, has a very cosy vibe to it.. good for students and creatives
My personal favorite drink is : half shot, tall, soy caramel macchiato, kids temperature 😊
Love the place because of the ambience. Its a great place to hang out with friends.
Cozy place. Almost always filled but still a good place to chat.
Nice place to meet friends and have a cup of coffee, they have sandwiches but not many healthy choices
Nice and creative layout compared to many Starbucks. Staff wasn't friendly, possibly understaffed.
Furniture was a bit old.
Cosy suitable for work
Nice coffee shop.
Furniture is used enough and we hope that they will change the sofas and the chairs.
Amazing food and has a nice look and very comfortable
Nice atmosphere. Relax and drink a delicious coffee in the morning. A good start for a new day.
