Starbucks Bahamas Celebrates 20 Years of Coffee, Craft & Community
To recognize two decades, Starbucks Bahamas unveils an anniversary partner-designed beverage, the Bahama Blush Shaken Iced Tea, available from August 19 to September 30.
SStarbucks Bahamas – operated by John Bull in the market – proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary and two decades of delivering the Starbucks Experience with consistency, heart, and a deep sense of local connection.
Since opening its first store in 2005, Starbucks Bahamas has grown to 15 locations across New Providence, building a reputation not only for handcrafted beverages and unique coffeehouses, but also for its commitment to its partners (employees), customers, and community.
Throughout its journey, Starbucks Bahamas has embraced the role of making its coffeehouses a Third Place – a welcoming space between home and work where relationships are nurtured, conversations sparked, and communities strengthened. From the everyday coffee run to memorable moments shared at the counter, Starbucks Bahamas has remained dedicated to upholding the brand’s global values while adapting its coffeehouses authentically to the Bahamian culture and customer experience.
“Our 20th anniversary is more than a celebration of time, it’s a recognition of the connections we’ve built along the way,” said Dino Matsas, General Manager, Starbucks Bahamas. “It’s also a tribute to our partners who bring the brand to life each day inside our coffeehouses, and to our customers who have welcomed Starbucks into their daily lives for the past two decades.”
A Celebration in Every Sip
As part of the anniversary campaign, Starbucks Bahamas has introduced a limited-time beverage: the Bahama Blush Shaken Iced Tea. Created by Kristi Hinsey, a 5-year Starbucks Bahamas partner, the Bahama Blush Shaken Iced Tea is the ideal blend of green tea, passion tea, lemonade, and strawberry, and is a colorful and refreshing tribute to the vibrancy of Bahamian culture.
This refreshing beverage will be available island wide from August 19 to September 30, 2025, with a portion of proceeds going to local charities, further reflecting Starbucks commitment to making a meaningful difference in the communities it serves.
“Creating the Bahama Blush Shaken Iced Tea was such an amazing opportunity,” said Kristi. “I wanted to capture the vibrant colours, flavours, and energy of The Bahamas in a cup, and I am excited to see how our customers enjoy it.”
As Starbucks looks to the future, the brand remains focused on deepening its impact, creating moments of connection, and continuing to evolve alongside the customers and communities it proudly serves.
