ABOUT STARBUCKS CORPORATION
Our story began in 1971. Back then we were a roaster and retailer of whole bean and ground coffee, tea and spices with a single store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Today, we are privileged to connect with millions of customers every day in more than 80 markets.
FOLKLORE
Starbucks is named after the first mate in Herman Melville’s “Moby-Dick.” Our logo is also inspired by the sea – featuring a twin-tailed siren from Greek mythology.
STARBUCKS MISSION, VALUES AND PROMISES
OUR COFFEE
We’ve always believed in serving the finest coffee possible. It's our goal for all our coffee to be grown under the highest standards of quality, using ethical sourcing practices. Our coffee buyers personally travel to coffee farms in Latin America, Africa and Asia to select high-quality Arabica beans. And our master roasters bring out the balance and rich flavor of the beans through the signature Starbucks® Roast.
OUR STORES
Our stores are a neighborhood gathering place for meeting friends and family. Our customers enjoy quality service, an inviting atmosphere and an exceptional beverage in our stores and immersive Starbucks Reserve® Roastery locations in Chicago, Milan, New York, Seattle, Shanghai and Tokyo.
