SEATTLE – Starbucks Coffee Company expanded this week its breakfast and drink menus, adding a new espresso offering, Starbucks® Vanilla Macchiato, and four hot breakfast sandwiches.
“Our baristas love to make the Starbucks Macchiato for customers. Pulling the perfect espresso shot, steaming milk into thick, velvety foam and finishing it off with pride ensures that each and every beverage reflects our passion, care and artistry,” said Cliff Burrows, Starbucks group president, U.S., Americas, and Teavana. “It’s our baristas who are at the heart of the promise we make to our customers - that they will receive the highest-quality beverages and delicious, wholesome food paired with an exceptional experience each and every time they’re in our stores.”
Starbucks Vanilla Macchiato is the latest espresso creation from the company’s Hazelnut Macchiato line, which it unveiled last spring.
Since acquiring La Boulange in 2012, Starbucks has continually enhanced its food offerings. Its new breakfast sandwich lineup includes:
- New Slow-Roasted Ham & Swiss: Italian-style slow-roasted ham served on a warm, buttery croissant bun with a perfectly cooked egg and melted Swiss cheese.
- New Vegetable & Fontiago: Spinach, flavorful sundried tomatoes and sweet caramelized onions melted together with aged Fontiago cheese served on a warm, multigrain ciabatta bun.
- New Egg & Cheddar: Buttery grilled cheese with melted cheddar atop a perfectly cooked fluffy egg, served on hearty multigrain toast.
- New and improved Reduced Fat Turkey Bacon: Reduced fat turkey bacon, cage-free egg whites and melted reduced-fat white cheddar cheese served warm on an organic wheat English muffin.
To celebrate its new sandwiches, Starbucks is offering a free medium coffee on March 12-14 to customers who purchase any breakfast sandwich at participating U.S. stores.
