About Starbucks

Starbucks is a coffeehouse located on Hamilton Rd in the Fairmont neighbourhood of London, serving the local community. As one of several locations in the city, this café offers a variety of beverages, including hot and cold coffee and espresso, tea, and Refreshers. The menu features specialty drinks such as Frappuccino® Blended Beverages, including Coffee Frappuccino® and Crème Frappuccino®, as well as hot chocolate, lemonade, and bottled beverages. Food options are also available, ranging from breakfast and bakery items to lunch, snacks, and treats. The company describes itself as being in the people business serving coffee, with a mission to nurture human connection. Its history began in 1971 in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, where it originally sold fresh-roasted coffee beans, tea, and spices. After Howard Schultz joined the company in 1982 and was inspired by the coffeehouse culture he discovered during a trip to Milan in 1983, the business transitioned into a coffeehouse in 1987. The brand emphasizes a commitment to quality and service, from the farmers who tend to the coffee cherries to the baristas who serve the drinks. Customers at this location can enjoy free wi-fi while browsing the menu or placing orders for pickup and delivery. For those looking to enjoy products at home, the company also offers whole bean coffee, Teavana® Tea, and Starbucks VIA® Instant coffee.
