São Paulo – Starting today, Starbucks Brazil announces its new seasonal menu of holiday sweets and desserts, now available in all stores across the market. Along with holiday beverages, Starbucks brings back some of Brazilians’ favorite baked goods such as the Chocolate and Hazelnut Panettone and Unicorn Cake, and introduces the brand-new Red Velvet Panettone, in addition to festive, delicious novelties including giftable items for loved ones.

"In this holiday season, we aim to share the magic that prevails in our stores for festivities and celebrations with our partners (employees) and customers. Adding to our exclusive holiday beverages that launched in early November, Starbucks Brazil now presents its complete holiday menu, adding sweets and goodies for all tastes and occasions," said Sedenir Junior, marketing manager at Starbucks Brazil.

Starbucks Brazil brings back the long-awaited Chocolate and Hazelnut Panettone and introduces Red Velvet Panettone, both naturally fermented and great options for those who want to share a magical moment with those they love. Additionally, Starbucks Brazil is now selling its Box of Stuffed Cookies, made with handmade, soft dough, available in cinnamon, dulce de leche and walnut and caramel.

For customers who prefer to enjoy these new items in-store, Starbucks Brazil Holiday menu also includes the festive and colorful Unicorn Cake made from soft dough with a delicious cream cheese filling.

Launched at the start of the Holiday campaign in November, Starbucks seasonal beverages include Starbucks® Holiday Cinnamon, the beloved Starbucks® Strawberry Mocha and Starbucks® Hazelnut Caramel, as well as the Starbucks® Christmas blend 2022 and Starbucks® Christmas Blonde Roast 2022 special coffees available in stores across Brazil.

Donation of Stars for Gerando Falcões

To further the holiday giving, this December, Starbucks Brazil is launching a campaign to donate stars through the Starbucks Rewards app, in partnership with <a href="https://doe.gerandofalcoes.com/">Gerando Falcões</a>. Donations will go to the Jovem Falcão educational program, which provides young people from suburban communities with the tools—such as socio-emotional skills, professional qualifications—to become the protagonists of their own stories through courses and experience to develop employability skills. Customers who are members of the Starbucks Rewards loyalty program can donate via the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com.br/rewards">Starbucks Brazil App</a> by choosing the number of stars they would like to donate. Each level of donated stars is equivalent to a period of training for program participants. Furthering its commitment to support local communities, Starbucks Brazil is offering this donation partnership to help customers celebrate the holidays while positively impacting local communities and people.

Earlier this month, we celebrated the craft and artistry that goes into making our iconic espresso-based beverages in Latin America and the Caribbean at the Starbucks LAC Barista Championship in Hacienda Alsacia, Costa Rica.

This event was a unique opportunity for green apron partners (employees) <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/stories/2022/starbucks-lac-barista-championship/">across the region</a> to showcase their knowledge and expertise, and to celebrate coffee passion with their fellow partners. The top National Barista Champions from unique LAC markets competed across three days for the overall title; <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/stories/2022/meet-the-champion-starbucks-lac-barista-championship/">Camila from Argentina</a> was officially crowned LAC Barista Champion.

"I've always loved learning and with coffee you never stop finding out new things", Camila told us. "If you're anything like me, then my advice for you is to take part in a tasting if you ever get a chance. You'll learn so much and will love coffee even more!"

All throughout the competition the partners outdid themselves through awesome skill and artistry, as you can imagine, such an occasion was ripe with the best coffee wisdom. So we asked our Champions for their tips and tricks to brew the best cup of coffee.

1. Start with the basics

Mauricesa from the Cayman Islands reminded us of the importance of properly storing our beans. After all, maintaining the quality of our key ingredient is fundamental to preparing a good cup of coffee.

“At home, we must ensure that the beans are kept in an airtight container at the right temperature and stored somewhere they can’t get wet,” she said. “Coffee is what you make it: it is a blank canvas packed with flavor to which you can add your own twist. Whether by adding creamers, milks, something sweet, or even by adding some coffee to your favorite recipes or desserts, coffee is all about personalizing and loving your experience.”

Once we have the coffee, the next step is knowing which brewing method to use. Even though everyone had their preferred way of making coffee, most of our Champions mentioned the French press as their favorite at home.

“I think a French press is a must-have!” said Shanyhah, who was representing the Bahamas. “What I love about it is that I can prepare my hot coffee every morning and when I get home, I can make iced coffee with the rest of the batch. I highly recommend it.”

Juan Marco from Guatemala shared another great trick: he told us we can use the French press to froth warm milk for a homemade cappuccino. “You just put the milk in the carafe and press up and down a couple of times until you get the desired texture for your coffee.”

John from Peru gave us a tip we didn’t expect. “Make sure to preheat the carafe before making the coffee. You can <a>dip</a> it in some hot water beforehand, for example. And always make sure you use filtered water!”

3. For your inner connoisseur

As we spoke more with our Champions, their suggestions became more specific. Yatziri from Costa Rica suggested we research the place where our coffee is from to find out more about it; understanding the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2022/introducing-the-next-generation-of-starbucks-coffee-art/">brewing instructions and coffee description</a>s can help you know what foods to pair it with to make the most of the flavors. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Andrew, a partner representing Jamaica, advised us to “try different brewing methods of your favorite coffee so you can see which one you like best.” On a similar note, Jezabel from Uruguay recommended we get out of our comfort zone and try different coffees and add some variations, such as different milks, <a>to</a> taste new combinations.

4. Cold brew all the way

For more experienced at-home baristas, Miguel Ángel from Mexico had this to say: “You’ve got to try to make your own Cold Brew coffee! Beans from Kenya are great for this. You only need a big glass container, then grind your coffee as coarsely as possible and put 10 g to every 180 ml of room-temperature water. Put your coffee mixture in the fridge for 20 hours and voilà! As an extra tip, I really like to add a slice of orange or grapefruit to the infusion to give it a more citrusy touch.”

All in all, the consensus for great coffee at home was to have fun and enjoy both the brewing and learning process behind a great cup.

“Always seek to improve your technique, whether by watching a video on YouTube or asking a partner at your local Starbucks store how to choose the perfect quality coffee for your taste,” recommended Vinicius, who’s representing Brazil for the fourth time.

Finally, a piece of advice from Moisés from Bolivia: “Enjoy every cup of coffee like it is your first one, so that every time you taste it, you can find new textures and flavors in it!”

The company will donate profits from sales of its Starbucks® Caramel Macchiato and Starbucks® Caramel Frappuccino® Blended Beverages on December 1st to the nonprofit organization supporting children’s education.

São Paulo – SouthRock – Starbucks licensed retail operator in Brazil – today announced that it will celebrate the tenth edition of its Caramel Day initiative on December 1, 2022. On this special day, which also marks Starbucks 16th anniversary in the market, profits from Starbucks® Caramel Macchiato beverages (in both latte and iced versions) and Starbucks® Caramel Frappuccino® Blended Beverages will be donated to Gol de Letra Foundation, a nonprofit organization that offers support and education to children and teenagers in need. &nbsp;

"We love Caramel Day and celebrating another edition and ten years of partnership with Gol de Letra Foundation is a source of great pride for us,” said Claudia Malaguerra, Managing Director of Starbucks Brazil. “This date combines the celebration of Starbucks arrival to Brazil with one of the main pillars of our brand, which is to positively impact the communities where we have presence, furthering our mission to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time."

This year, Starbucks Brazil and Gol de Letra Foundation will donate Caramel day proceeds to <a href="https://www.goldeletra.org.br/projeto/programa-jogo-aberto/">Open Game</a> (Jogo Aberto). This program contributes to the comprehensive education of children and teenagers – combining social assistance, community development and sports – and providing 6 to 18-year-olds the possibility to experience more than 15 sports, including athletics, gymnastics, judo, futsal, and more.

“We are very grateful for the 10 years of partnership! Caramel Day has an important impact on the lives of children, teenagers and young people who could have new opportunities”, said Raí, former professional soccer player and founder of Gol de Letra. “We greatly value those who have been by our side for so long, as those who work with education only see results in the long term, and this shows that Starbucks has a vision of the future.”

Decade-long partnership supporting vulnerable communities in Brazil

Caramel Day, called DiaMaria Luisa pela Educação until 2017,was created in honor of Maria Luisa Rodenbeck, responsible for the arrival of Starbucks in Brazil and whose favorite drink was the Starbucks® Caramel Macchiato. This partnership with Gol de Letra Foundation began in 2013 and, since then, Starbucks Brazil has donated more than R$400,000 impacting over 10,000 children and teenagers.

<a href="https://www.goldeletra.org.br/">Gol de Letra Foundation</a> was founded in 1998 by the soccer champions Raí and Leonardo. The nonprofit organization contributes to the education of vulnerable children and youth so that they have increased opportunities and a better outlook on life.

The 10th edition of Caramel Day will be exclusively for purchases of Starbucks® Caramel Macchiato beverages (in both latte and iced versions) and Starbucks® Caramel Frappuccino® Blended Beverages, made on December 1, 2022. The products will be available across all stores in the market or through the Rappi delivery app, as well as the Starbucks Brazil app, while supplies last.

Set against the beautiful green hills of Costa Rica at Starbucks first and only coffee farm Hacienda Alsacia, this year’s Starbucks Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Barista Championship reunited top baristas representing <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/stories/2022/starbucks-lac-barista-championship/">21 markets across the region</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With mesmerizing precision and support for their fellow competitors, baristas flashed their latte art skills and flexed their beverage mastery.

“It makes me so proud that as we celebrate two decades of presence in this dynamic region, we have the opportunity to see our green apron partners gathered together at Hacienda Alsacia – Starbucks beautiful coffee farm – to showcase their coffee knowledge and expertise,” said Tom Ferguson, president, Starbucks Latin America and Caribbean.

After three days of competition where partners displayed their skill and artistry through multiple rounds of exciting coffee challenges, including espresso shot pulling, milk steaming, latte art and beverage innovation, <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2022/starbucks-green-apron-partners-showcase-their-coffee-craft-and-skill-at-the-latin-america-and-caribbean-barista-championship/">Camila from Argentina earned the prestigious title of Starbucks LAC Barista Champion 2022</a>.

“It’s been an incredible experience that extends beyond winning and representing my market and the larger Latin America and Caribbean region,” the champion said about her win. “What I’m most proud of is being part of something bigger and sharing an experience like this with so many beautiful people. I wouldn't change it for the world.”

Tasting coffee with her fellow competitors until dawn, sharing stories, practicing their craft, laughing and connecting through coffee was an invaluable experience to Camila, who felt supported by her partners every step of the way.

“Nothing really prepares you for this adventure,” she noted, “but it sure is worth it: the connections you make, the things you learn. I left Argentina with no idea how much knowledge and love I would leave the competition with. It would be amazing to participate again, but I would also like more partners to have the ability to experience this journey.”

This year, Starbucks green apron partners gathered at Hacienda Alsacia to fully experience the deep care that goes into the first 10 feet of a cup of coffee to share that connection with customers at the last 10 feet.

“The Championship helped us appreciate the importance of our work in the stores,” Camila shared. “It is an honor to be part of the arduous process behind a single coffee bean. However, the Championship was also about solidarity and being united. The friendships I’ve made here are the most beautiful thing I’m taking back home.”

It was a thrill to watch these outstanding coffee experts share their passion, love and out-of-this-world skills during the Starbucks LAC Barista Championship 2022. We are excited to continue recognizing the coffee mastery of our partners, who inspire us every day!

The company’s arrival to the city of Salvador in early 2023 marks its expansion to eight Brazilian states with nearly 200 stores across the market.

Salvador, Brazil – SouthRock – Starbucks licensed operator in Brazil – today announced the expansion to the state of Bahia with a store located in Shopping da Bahia, in Salvador, scheduled to open during the first quarter of 2023. The store will mark Starbucks presence in eight states across Brazil and is expected to generate more than 30 direct job positions.

“It is with great pleasure that we announce the arrival of Starbucks in the northeast region of Brazil. We are very happy to start this journey in Salvador, Bahia, sharing our passion for coffee with the local population. Bringing the Starbucks Experience to customers in Bahia, such an important coffee producing region, while also creating job opportunities within the city of Salvador is a great source of pride for us,” said Claudia Malaguerra, managing director of Starbucks in Brazil.

The first Starbucks “baiana” store will be located at Shopping da Bahia, one of the most important shopping centers in the area. With this store, Starbucks Brazil seeks to offer customers a space where members of the community can gather and connect with family and friends over coffee. Additionally, SouthRock and Starbucks are actively evaluating other potential store locations in the city.

The new store will feature a warm and comfortable atmosphere for customers to enjoy high-quality arabica coffee from Brazil and around the world, as well as handcrafted beverages prepared by baristas. Menu options will range from Starbucks® Brasil Blend – a unique coffee made with 100% Brazilian beans from the regions of Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Bahia – to other locally relevant offerings, such as the Starbucks Brigadeiro Frappuccino®, and an exclusive recipe of the traditional Pão de Queijo, a bestselling item, only offered by Starbucks Brazil.

Twenty years ago, we opened our first stores ever in Latin America at Angel de la Independencia in Mexico City, Mexico, and Old San Juan, Puerto Rico! Since then, our menu has gained a whole lot of delicious beverage and food options that celebrate and honor Latin America and the Caribbean's unique local flavors, as well as the expert craftsmanship from our partners and the coffee leadership the region has to offer!

From classic espresso-based beverages prepared with our exclusive Espresso Roast or seasonal whole bean coffees to tangy tropical fruits and creamy textures, there’s a treat for every taste. To give you an idea of what an adventurous palate can find, we asked our baristas in Latin America to tell us their favorite local beverages. These are the top five that came up the most:

1. Dulce de Leche Latte and Frappuccino®

core/heading

This delicious confection is a traditional Latin American delicacy so of course we had to include it on our local menus, and it is a hit!

Also known as Manjar Blanco or Cajeta, you can enjoy it as a latte, hot and cold, or a Frappuccino® across almost all markets in the region.

When it comes to chocolate in Latin America, Mexico knows best. A most customary beverage in the country is the chocolate caliente or hot chocolate. However, it’s not just any type of chocolate but a special local kind that’s prepared with sugar and cinnamon.

Although the customary recipe calls for the chocolate to be stirred into boiling water until foamy, at any Starbucks store in Mexico you can make it creamier and frothier with any milk of your choice.

This beverage recommendation is one of the most popular orders in Chile and Argentina. Consisting of two shots of espresso “cut” (o cortado) with steamed milk, this recipe follows the Spanish tradition common in both countries.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This small but strong coffee is a classic that you must try if you really want to experience Argentina and Chile like a local.&nbsp;

The lucuma is a subtropical fruit native to the Andean valleys of Peru. Of yellow color similar to that of a mango and a unique caramel-like taste, it’s a delicacy you have to try at least once in your life.

At Starbucks stores in Peru you can savor this delicately-flavored fruits from the highlands in the form of an exquisite Lúcuma Crème Frappuccino® blended beverage that combines lúcuma sauce and milk, topped with whipped cream. Caffeine-free but flavorful this is basically a tasty dessert you can drink!

Speaking of sweets, the Brazilian Brigadeiro is a must in any list of Latin American treats. This iconic chocolate bonbon is usually served at festive events, but why wait for a special occasion when you can have a creamy drinkable version whenever you want!

Available as hot, iced, and cafezinho, the Brigadeiro beverages introduced one of the lines’ favorites in 2012: the Brigadeiro Frappuccino®, which is a blend of Starbucks Frappuccino® roast, choco chips, white mocha sauce, mocha sauce, classic syrup, milk, and ice. It is served in a cup lined with Brigadeiro sauce and topped with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles.

Now you know what to order next time you visit our stores in the region!

This year is very special for Starbucks as it marks our 20th anniversary in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It’s been two decades since we opened our first Starbucks stores in the region – at Angel de la Independencia in Mexico City and Old San Juan in Puerto Rico ─ and it’s been an enriching experience throughout! Every opening has brought us closer to the wonderfully diverse communities of Latin America and helped us offer the Starbucks Experience to more customers.

From the warmth of our green apron partners that uplift the everyday in their interactions with customers to the beauty of the different landscapes, we’ve sought out to capture the region’s unique coffee heritage, as well as the essence and traditions of each specific location through the design of our stores.

To celebrate our 20th anniversary in LAC, let’s explore 20 of our most stunning stores that you can visit next time you are in the neighborhood for a cafecito or a cafezinho!

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mexico City, Mexico

Back in 2002, Mexico City welcomed the first Starbucks store of Latin America. Today, with over 750 stores across the market, this cosmopolitan metropolis is also home to our first Reserve Bar in the region, where customers can find Starbucks premium coffee line, buy exclusive products and try out alternative coffee methods.

The store’s design highlights unique materials from different parts of Mexico, as well as lovely murals created by Edgar Saner depicting the market’s own coffee traditions. &nbsp;

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dorado, Puerto Rico

Little-known fact: the Dorado Express store is our <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2021/starbucks-opens-first-drive-thru-only-store-in-puerto-rico/">first ever Starbucks Drive-Thru Only location in the Caribbean</a>. Rightfully so, as Puerto Rico has a strong coffee tradition that calls for a Starbucks Experience that brings convenience, connection and, of course, personalization.

The store is located on the northern coast of Puerto Rico and its modern and practical design is both welcoming and uplifting.

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Santiago, Chile

Within the modern Las Condes neighborhood, known for its chic hotels and lively dining scene, you can find our <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/es/press/2022/la-primera-greener-store-de-starbucks-en-america-latina-es-certificada-en-chile/">first-ever Greener Store in Latin America and the Caribbean</a>.

The store was designed to use 50% less water and produce 20% less carbon to help us reach our global sustainability goals.

The interior design is also environmentally friendly as the furniture and finishes are made out of recycled materials, a trend that we’ve seen in <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/es/stories/2021/starbucks-chile-sostenibilidad/">other Chilean stores</a>.

Starbucks first entered Chile in 2003 with Isidoro Goyenechea store in Santiago. Since then, we’ve expanded to over 140 stores and the market has been a <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2022/starbucks-chile-celebrates-earth-day-with-discounts-to-promote-reusables-and-more-sustainable-options/">leader in sustainability</a>, offering EV chargers for customers, launching a program to manage in-store food waste, and continuing to expand its plant-based menu.

The Pan Americana Sur store features one of our most unique designs to say the least.

Right next to the emblematic Pan-American Highway, this is the first store in Latin America to be built using recycled shipping containers, part of a Starbucks green-building initiative to save water, energy and improve air quality.

Fittingly, it is also our first Drive-Thru format store in Peru. So, whether customers are <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2022/starbucks-introduces-chunqui-whole-bean-coffee-produced-by-coffee-growers-in-northern-peru/">picking up our latest whole bean coffee</a>, stopping for a <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/es/press/2022/starbucks-presenta-el-cafe-de-grano-entero-chunqui-producido-por-caficultores-del-norte-del-peru/">quick treat</a>, or just wishing to take a break resting under a green umbrella on the store’s patio, we’ve got them covered.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nassau, Bahamas

The Bahamar, the secondstore in the Bahamas stands out due to its size – it’s one of the smallest stores in the region. However, size doesn’t matter as this fantastic little store is unforgettable.

The capsule-like design of this store is ideal for those seeking refuge from busy everyday life. The subtle details, such as the pink penny tile that pays tribute to colorful Bahamian design, the gold decals on the walls and the large dark glass mirror creates an airy ambiance of added depth.

6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Santos Dumont store is located inside Rio’s airport of the same name. Unlike other airport stores that blend in with the architecture and style of the buildings they’re found in, this particular Starbucks store stands out due to its minimalistic and beautiful design.

The artwork on the windows pays homage to the anniversary siren, while the bar’s woodwork is inspired by Ipanema’s iconic sidewalks. The warm colors of the walls and finishes evoke Rio’s stunning sunsets and sunrises, and the terrazzo flooring is reminiscent of the city’s beaches.

7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Buenos Aires, Argentina

What people first notice about the La Lucila Starbucks store in Buenos Aires is the impressive exterior artwork that portrays two iconic Argentinian birds ─ the Cortarramas and the Gorrión ─ flying over a coffee plantation. Argentina’s national flower, the coral tree, is also represented in the mural painted by Fio Silva.

What’s also wonderful about the streetside art is that it can still be enjoyed by customers ordering their <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/es/press/2022/starbucks-lanza-bebida-stranger-frappuccino-en-chile-argentina-uruguay/">favorite beverage</a>s on the go.

It is also the first of 10 Farmer Support Centers Starbucks operates, where farmers get free access to the latest agronomy findings. However, the best thing about Hacienda Alsacia is that it is <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/es/stories/2021/starbucks-tour-virtual-costa-rica/">open to visitors</a>!

Located in the beautiful slopes of the Poas volcano in San Luis, Sabanilla, Alajuela, guests can enjoy a guided tour and experience the entire <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/es/stories/2018/escuchando-a-la-tierra-creando-el-centro-de-visitantes-starbucks-en-la-hacienda-alsacia/">journey of a cup of coffee</a> first-hand: from seedling, to roasting, to tasting.

The Multiplaza Escazú store in San Rafael features a design that mixes industrial finishes and hacienda-style furniture that evoke Alsacia’s craftmanship as well as the richness of Costa Rica’s rich flora and fauna through delicate murals inside the store and in the terrace area, by Majo Rodriguez.

Our team worked very closely with local artist Adolfo Torrico to develop a proposal that was relevant and appropriate for such a unique site. Inspired by the natural environment, culture, and traditions of local coffee farms, the mural celebrates the origin and heritage of Bolivian coffee.

The company brings back customer favorites, including the Pumpkin Spice family of beverages, and launches a new single-origin whole bean coffee across Latin America and the Caribbean.

São Paulo - Starbucks Brazil today announced that its seasonal Spring menu will be available in all stores across the market starting August 30. For this campaign, Starbucks Brazil customers will see the return of the iconic Pumpkin Spice and Brownie beverage families as well as a new drink, the Ultra Caramel Frappuccino® Blended Beverage.

“We are thrilled to reintroduce some of our customer favorites this season, including our classic Pumpkin Spice family of beverages. Pumpkin Spice has become a tradition that differentiates Starbucks menu globally at this time of year, and we are delighted to bring this experience to our Brazilian customers for the third year,” said Sedenir Junior, Marketing Manager for Starbucks Brazil. “With the rise in temperatures, we want to celebrate spring with a selection of lighter and well-loved drinks.”

As part of the Spring campaign, the brand will also launch a new whole bean coffee, <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2022/starbucks-launches-its-first-single-origin-coffee-from-veracruz/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Starbucks® Las Montañas Veracruz, México</a>. This single-origin, dark roast coffee has notes of piloncillo and toasted almond, with a hint of cinnamon and a chocolaty body.

Veracruz was the first state in Mexico where coffee was planted over two centuries ago. Cultivated by Nahua coffee producers in the most mountainous area of southern Veracruz, this new Starbucks whole bean coffee is the perfect way to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary of retail operations in Mexico and the Latin America and Caribbean region. The coffee will be offered across all Starbucks stores regionwide in the coming weeks.
