Starbucks starts their holiday menu today and in the future plans to take a step WAY back to their original model!
The company intends to revert the cafes back to their former “coffee house” aesthetic with “personal touches,” including serving coffee in ceramic mugs for customers who dine-in. The company is also reviewing the cafe design and plans to bring back more comfortable seating and amenities, so customers will be more inclined to sit and work.
The company said it will stop charging extra for customizing beverages with non-dairy milk.
Starbucks is re-introducing Sharpies, another nostalgic nod to its earlier days when baristas would write customers’ names on coffee cups.
The condiment bar is making a comeback next year. Niccol told analysts that baristas requested the feature, saying it would speed up their service.
