Starbucks Unveils Hidden Selections in Its App, Aiming to Attract Customers

Starbucks is bringing its once covert 'secret' menu into the spotlight.

Starting this week, loyal Starbucks patrons with reward memberships can explore exclusive drink options previously unavailable on the standard menu by using the coffee giant’s mobile application. These unique beverage combinations are designed to enhance customer experience.

Exclusive Options Now Available

Among the newly unveiled choices are decadent 'Cookies on Top', a refreshing dragonfruit infusion known as the 'Glow-up', a lemon tea with dynamic popping pearls, and a lush white mocha shaken espresso.

This initiative is part of a campaign spearheaded by CEO Brian Niccol to entice customers and rejuvenate the Starbucks brand following recent efforts to bolster customer service.

Interactive Customer Engagement

To generate buzz around these secret offerings, Starbucks has launched a contest running from July 14 through July 20. Customers are encouraged to share and vote for their creative custom drink concoctions.

Participants stand a chance to win up to $25,000 if their drink garners attention for its flavor ingenuity and fan appeal, according to Starbucks' website.

Streamlining and Innovating

Moreover, Starbucks recently standardized the cost of additional flavorings and syrups, including matching powder, with an 80-cent flat fee, simplifying previously varied charges.

This approach is part of Niccol’s broader strategy to advance Starbucks’ market presence by simplifying operations and clarifying the ordering and purchasing process.
