How can you tell it's summer? It's not the Florida heat; Starbucks releases summer menu
Memorial Day is still a few days away but another unofficial start of summer is here: Starbucks has released its summer menu Tuesday, May 20.
The release comes at a time when the chain is battling employee walkouts at about 100 stores over its new dress code for its baristas.
The new dress code — which took effect May 12 — limits baristas to a black top, while their bottoms are required to be black, khaki or blue denim. Starbucks said it would provide employees with two free black T-shirts.
Other recent changes at Starbucks included the removal of 13 'less popular' drinks from its menu in March bringing back free refills and a condiment bar for its dine-in customers.
Here's what to know about the Starbucks summer menu.
Starbucks will begin selling, for a limited time, its summer beverages today, May 20.
Starbucks is introducing an iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso.
The iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is a "light, smooth and subtly sweet profile that pairs perfectly with oat milk and the horchata flavored syrup — which is a fusion of warm cinnamon, sweet vanilla and subtle nutty notes reminiscent of the rice milk that makes up a traditional horchata."
The new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is available throughout the summer while supplies last, Starbucks said.
The new drink will join a "returning fan favorite," Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers.
The drinks were first introduced in 2024 and feature a "sweet and summery blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and water, poured over raspberry flavored pearls."
The Summer-Berry Refreshers can be ordered with lemonade in the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresheror with creamy coconut milk in the Summer Skies Drink.
The Summer-Berry Refreshers also are available for a limited time, while supplies last this summer.
New to the Starbucks summer menu in 2025 is the Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop.
It features strawberry cream cake mixed with buttercream, dipped in a chocolate icing and finished with a summer strawberry design.
The cake pop will be available for a limited time, while supplies last.
Looking for something summery to sip your favorite beverage?
FARM Rio and Starbucks launched their summer collection of drinkware "reminiscent of the vibrant colors and prints of the popular Brazilian fashion label."
The limited-edition collaboration is available for a limited time while supplies last and includes cold cups, water bottles, tumblers and key chains.
There were 17,137 Starbucks locations in the U.S. as of May 14, 2025, according to ScrapeHero, a data company.

Group Appeals to Farm Rio to End Partnership With Starbucks
A group of 17 labor unions, human rights organizations and watchdog nonprofits including Coffee Watch are calling on the lifestyle brand Farm Rio to end its partnership with Starbucks or change its policies. The coffee chain has come under fire this spring for allegations of child labor, trafficking workers and unsafe working conditions on a Brazilian coffee farm. A civil 'John Doe' lawsuit was filed against Starbucks in late April in the U.S. by eight individuals with the support of the International Rights Advocates. More from WWD From The Archive: Rio de Janeiro Fashion Scene, 1974 Todd Snyder Opens Nashville Store in 12South Neighborhood Dior Beauty Opens New Boutique in Miami A Starbucks spokesperson said Wednesday that the claims asserted are 'without merit' and the company plans to 'vigorously defend the Starbucks brand.' Coffee Watch filed a petition under section 307 of the Tariff Act asking U.S. Customs and Border Protection 'to block slavery-tainted Brazilian coffee in Starbucks' supply chains from entering the United States,' according to the letter, which was shared with WWD. In a statement, the Seattle-based company said, 'Starbucks is committed to ethical sourcing of coffee including helping to protect the rights of people who work on the farms where we purchase coffee from,' adding that its Coffee and Farmer Equity Practices include the use of 'robust third-party verification and audits.' Starbucks said it does not purchase coffee from all of the farms within Cooxupé's cooperative, which includes more than 19,000 coffee farm members. The spokesperson said, 'Starbucks purchases coffee from a small fraction of those farms, and only those who have been verified through our C.A.F.E. Practices, which are among the most stringent in the industry and have been continuously improved since their inception in 2004.' Starbucks and Farm Rio revealed their partnership last month for a limited-edition collection of colorful drinkware and mini cold-cup keychains that launched in the coffee chain's stores in the U.S. and Canada. They are also being sold in its outposts in Brazil and in select markets in Latin America and in the Caribbean. On Wednesday, a public relations firm working on behalf of the organizations that have appealed to Farm Rio's chief executive officer put the word out about their letter. Supporters of the letter are asking that Starbucks sever the partnership immediately or make it contingent on such demands as allowing employees worldwide to unionize and eradicating child labor from every part of its supply chain, ensuring farmworkers receive a living wage and publicly committing to upholding labor rights across its supply chain. The representative for the senders of the letter also provided a link to a video post that was made by the organization Contracs on 'X' that shows three protesters holding signs outside of a Farm Rio store in an unidentified shopping center in Brazil. Representatives at Farm Rio could not be reached for comment Wednesday. An outside public relations company that works with Farm Rio acknowledged a request for comment about the request to end the Starbucks partnership and said it had been shared with Farm Rio, but there was not a response at press time. Separately, Starbucks has been dealing with pushback from some employees in the U.S. about its new uniform policy. More than 1,000 workers — many of whom are associated with Starbucks Workers United — in 75 locations held a one-day strike in opposition to the mandatory dress code. Workers United is less than 5 percent of Starbucks' workforce, representing about 570 of its 10,000-plus stores, according to another Starbucks spokesperson. The letter to Farm Rio also noted that a fair contract with unionized workers in the U.S. has not been reached.

Plans approved for new Aldi and Starbucks in Port Talbot
Long-term proposals to build a new Aldi and Starbucks Coffee shop on a vacant site in Aberavon have been approved by the local council. The development will take place on a plot of land known as Burrows Yard, a brownfield site near Port Talbot town centre between Afan Way, Water Street, and Isaac's Place. The plans for the residential area have been in the works since 2022, and were given the go-ahead by councillors at a planning committee meeting held in June 2025. They are now expected to transform the currently empty 12,135 square metre plot of land which has been described as being an eyesore by locals in recent years. The land was previously used in historical industry as the site of a former 19th century tin plate works, as well as more recently as a council yard and a petrol station. READ MORE: 'Huge explosion' heard across two counties as ground shakes and windows rattle READ MORE: 'My baby died after I was left alone by midwives in Welsh hospital' However, the approved proposals could now see the creation of a mixed use development with an Aldi food store built alongside a Starbucks coffee shop with a drive-through and customer parking. The application read: "The proposal seeks full planning permission to build a single-storey Aldi food store and a Starbucks A3 café unit with associated drive-thru, including customer parking and a service yard." The scheme will include 141 parking spaces once completed with eight for disabled users, nine for parents with children, and seven bicycle hoops for up to 11 bikes. It will also feature 18 electric vehicle charging points along with a new pedestrian access off Afan Way and a cycling route. A representative speaking on behalf of the applicant said the plans had received a largely positive response from the public during the consultation period, with the report noting 317 representations of support in contrast to three objections. They added that the development could also create over 40 jobs for local people, with a mixture of full-time and part-time positions expected. Additional jobs are also anticipated during the construction phase of the project. Local councillors in attendance welcomed the long-awaited plans which had been recommended by officers as they felt it could improve the area which was in need of development. They were later approved by members with conditions following a unanimous vote. For the latest Neath Port Talbot news sign up to our newsletter here.
