Starbucks reveals "secret" menu in coffee chain's app. Here's what you'll find.
The coffee chain on Monday introduced previously hidden offerings for Starbucks rewards members in its mobile app. The menu allows customers with rewards accounts to access drink combinations not listed on its regular menu.
Starbucks is offering four new drinks via its app: Cookies on top; a dragonfruit "glow-up"; lemon, tea and popping "pearls"; and a white mocha shaken espresso.
The move is part of CEO Brian Niccol's efforts to win back customers and revive Starbucks' brand. The promotion comes after the company in February simplified its menu offerings as it tries to improve customer service.
To drum up interest in the secret menu, Starbucks is also hosting a contest, which runs from July 14 to July 20, for customers to submit and vote on their favorite customized beverages.
"Submit your best Grande custom drink and we'll see how it stacks up based on taste, creativity and fan appeal," Starbucks said on its website. Winners are eligible for up to $25,000 in prize money.
Starbucks last month also changed how its charges for drink add-ons like syrups and match powder, charging a flat fee of 80 cents for any combination of sauces and syrups, including additional pumps. Previously, customers could face different charges for different flavors.
Niccol is trying to boost Starbucks' growth by streamlining operations and making ordering and paying for drinks more transparent and straightforward. As part of that effort, the company said earlier this year it would lay off 1,500 workers.

Critics Rock Trump Administration For Posting 'Delusional' And 'Backwards' Meme
President Donald Trump has promised to revive the coal industry, and the Energy Department is serving notice that it's ready to move forward. The tweet on the Energy Department's official X feed shows a piece of coal and a Wendy Williams phrase that's become a meme: Trump has long promoted coal and other fossil fuels, and he has a grudge against most forms of clean energy. He famously despises windmills, but also isn't fond of solar ― nor does he like green-powered vehicles such as electric cars, despite briefly promoting former friend Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles at a White House event this year before the two fell out. Trump has also declared a national emergency to fast-track new energy production ― specifically nuclear, oil, gas, and coal. He seems to favor coal in particular, signing multiple executive orders to help the industry since taking office. Critics fired some clean burns back at the agency:

Trump hits Canada with 35 per cent tariffs
WASHINGTON — Canada has been hit with 35 per cent tariffs after U.S. President Donald Trump followed through on his threat to increase duties if Ottawa didn't agree to a trade deal. The White House said the tariffs would not affect goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade. Prime Minister Mark Carney had tempered expectations of an agreement by Friday, saying Ottawa would only take the right deal for Canada. On Thursday, Trump gave Mexico a 90-day extension on trade negotiations but did not announce a similar offer for Canada. Trump's 50 per cent copper tariffs also came into effect just after midnight, but this latest duty exempts the raw input material. The copper tariffs are being added to a growing list of U.S. sectoral duties, which include duties on automobiles, steel and aluminum.

Trump pushed tariffs on Canada to 35 per cent, but a CUSMA carveout creates a shield
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump has increased tariffs on Canada to a staggering 35 per cent but a critical carveout is likely to shield most goods from the devastating duties. The White House has said the tariffs won't be applied to goods that are compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, also known as CUSMA. Here's what that means for Canadian companies: What is CUSMA compliance? CUSMA was negotiated during the first Trump administration to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Companies can claim preferential treatment under CUSMA if they meet its rules of origin. While it is different depending on the product, generally it requires a specific amount of the goods be made of products or with labour originating from Canada, Mexico or the United States. About 80 to 90 per cent of Canadian goods might be able to comply with CUSMA's rules of origin, said Michael Dobner, the national leader of economics and policy practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada. Not all exporters have filed the necessary paperwork to avoid the duties. There's been an increase in businesses claiming preferential treatment under CUSMA but it's not clear exactly how much of Canadian exports are currently compliant. Are any industries more at risk? Dobner said there's no specific industry that he expects to be hit the hardest. Certain companies may not be able to source input materials from North America to make their product. That means they would not be able to apply for preferential treatment under CUSMA and will face the 35 per cent tariff. But Dobner said "it's the minority of the exports of Canada to the U.S." What's the impact on small and medium-sized businesses? Small and medium-sized businesses may have not applied for CUSMA preferential status before Trump's tariffs because the process can be burdensome for enterprises of that size. Some small and medium-sized businesses might not meet CUSMA rules of origin requirements and don't have the financial flexibility to change their inputs to North American products. Dan Kelly, president and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said many of these businesses were absorbing some or all of the costs associated with Trump's tariffs under the assumption that there would a resolution coming. Kelly said some small and medium-sized businesses facing the 35 per cent tariff may have to stop selling into the United States. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2025.
