Starbucks crowns first-ever global barista champion
LAS VEGAS — Starbucks crowned its first global barista champion Wednesday in a competition that tested coffee knowledge, technical skills and customer connection. The big picture: The three-day competition held in Las Vegas featured 12 baristas from around the world, narrowed down from over 84,000. The final round took place before an audience of more than 14,000 Starbucks store managers and employees during the Seattle-based company's Leadership Experience event in Las Vegas. Zoom in: The winner was Nobuki from Japan, who now has the chance to create a beverage that will go into Starbucks across the U.S. (Full names for the winner and finalists were withheld by Starbucks for privacy.) Baristas were tested on latte art, presenting their signature beverage while also connecting with the judges with storytelling. "The first step is sparkling smile," Nobuki said during the competition on how to make a latte. "Yes, I'm serious. When we smile, everything tastes so much better." For latte art, Nobuki made a rosetta design and then a tulip. His signature drink was the Blooming Yuzu Espresso, which he uses a Japanese sauce to make. Between the lines: One finalist represented Europe, Middle East and Africa, another represented the Tokyo Reserve Roastery and the last represented the Shanghai Reserve Roastery in China.

Starbucks menu upgrade: Protein cold foam, new croissants undergo testing
Starbucks menu upgrade: Protein cold foam, new croissants undergo testing Show Caption Hide Caption Starbucks to cut 13 drinks from menu amid restructuring Starbucks cuts 13 drinks from menu, streamlining operations and improving service, with more reductions expected in coming months. Straight Arrow News Protein-packed coffees and raspberry-filled pastries could soon be coming to a Starbucks near you. The Seattle-based coffee giant is testing out new menu items amid its 'Back to Starbucks' strategy, led by CEO Brian Niccol. The former Chipotle chief executive has emphasized the importance of providing customers the 'right vibe' after a slump in sales. "It's time for us to lead again," Niccol told a crowd of Starbucks employees during the company's Leadership Experience 2025 event on June 10. "We're going to lead in warm, welcoming coffee houses. We're going to lead in innovation. Innovation to our menu." USA TODAY had an early look at the new food and drink products during the Las Vegas event. Most of the items are undergoing Starbucks' 'Starting Five' program, in which five U.S. Starbucks locations try out new products and offer feedback before a broader launch. Because testing is ongoing, the products sampled by USA TODAY may change before the final iterations launch nationwide. Protein cold foam Starbucks is testing out a new protein cold foam option that would add roughly 15 grams of protein to its drinks through the addition of an unsweetened protein powder. Starbucks offered samples of a banana protein cold foam on June 10, but the protein can be added to any cold foam flavor. Other retailers, including coffee chain Dutch Bros, already offer high-protein offerings as consumers ‒ especially Gen Z ‒ show growing interest in health and building muscle. The number of high-protein drinks jumped 122% between 2020 and 2024, according to Innova Market Insights, which analyzes food and beverage industry data. "It's on trend. It's delicious," Niccol said about the protein cold foam. Starbucks did not share a date for the new cold foam's release, but Niccol said it would hit stores 'very soon.' New bakery items Starbucks is updating its classic croissant and adding two new bakery items to its stores: a raspberry croissant filled with jam and a double chocolate cookie topped with flaky sea salt. 'We're going to get back to fresh-baked food,' Niccol said. Starbucks 1971 Roast A new coffee, dubbed the Starbucks 1971 Roast, is set to roll out at coffee houses in the U.S. and Canada this winter. The dark roast is a blend of beans from Sumatra, Colombia and Brazil. Strato Frappuccino Starbucks is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Frappuccino with a new offering: the Strato Frappuccino. Strato – or 'layer,' in Italian – adds a cloud of cold foam on top of any Frappuccino flavor. The drink sampled by USA TODAY at the Starbucks Leadership Experience in Las Vegas featured a Coffee Frappuccino topped with brown sugar cold foam and cinnamon. Unveiled earlier this year, the Strato Frappuccino will be available at Starbucks stores nationwide this summer. In addition to the Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino, Starbucks will also offer a Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino and a Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino.

Starbucks cafes are getting more managers
This story was originally published on Restaurant Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Restaurant Dive newsletter. Starbucks will add at least one dedicated, full-time assistant store manager to most of its company-owned restaurants starting in the fall, Chief Partner Officer Sara Kelly wrote in a company post Tuesday. An assistant manager will provide consistent leadership during operating hours and help run the store, oversee teams and serve customers. Adding more assistant managers will help the chain with a critical shortage occurring in store-level leadership. Roughly 20% of the chain's stores have an assistant store manager, and they often tend to be short-term, Kelly said. Ensuring stores are properly staffed is part of CEO Brian Niccol's Back to Starbucks plan to improve the overall coffeehouse experience for staff and customers. The initial phase of this assistant manager plan will roll out across six U.S. company-operated districts in September. The company will gather learnings from these pilots before scaling full-time assistant manager roles to a majority of its stores in 2026. In Canada, the assistant manager expansion will begin in the summer of 2026. 'For many, it will also be a meaningful first step into coffeehouse leadership, supporting Starbucks' goal to develop talent, support internal career growth, and hire 90% of retail leadership roles from within,' Kelly said. This move also builds upon the chain's new Green Apron Service model that it began deploying across 2,000 company-owned locations in the U.S. in May. That model 'combines and unifies new service standards and expectations, changes to partner plays and deployment, streamlined routines, and our order sequencing algorithm,' Niccol said during an April earnings call. Niccol said that the new service model would add more flexibility to its operations in addition to improving peak throughput, capturing demand, boosting the customer experience and growing transactions. The chain has paused its rollout of its Siren Craft System and curtailed the deployment of a cold press and cold brew equipment as it focuses on its new service model, which has 'more potential to improve throughput and connection while minimizing future capital expenditures on equipment,' Niccol said. Starbucks also said this week that it is testing a virtual assistant in 35 stores that will help staff look up recipes, troubleshoot equipment and schedule last-minute callouts. This technology, which can be used on an iPad, is meant to also improve employees productivity and the guest experience. Recommended Reading Starbucks deploys virtual assistant to improve workflows
