Starbucks is jazzing up their UK menu for the new year, dropping three fresh items and resurrecting a crowd-pleaser.
The coffee chain is luring in palates with an American favorite, serving it up with a "new twist" to UK patrons. In a first for Brit coffee lovers, Starbucks has launched a decadent pistachio drink line-up featuring the Pistachio Velvet Latte and Iced Pistachio Latte.
These delightful drinks feature a distinct white chocolate pistachio-flavored sauce blended with traditional Starbucks espresso and oat milk, all finished with a smooth layer of pistachio-flavored cream cold foam. The hot option begins at £4.65, while the cool iced variant is available starting at £4.70, each topped with a luscious creamy foam.
Pair your latte with the "exquisitely designed" Pistachio and White Chocolate Loaf Cake, available for just £2.75. This delightful cake features a rich pistachio flavor, coated in a delicious pistachio and white chocolate icing, and finished with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries. For those observing Veganuary or seeking plant-based options, Starbucks has reintroduced the vegan Chocolate and Caramel Muffin.
Coffee lovers can explore Starbucks' latest menu offerings now available in outlets and on the Starbucks mobile app. Although there's no official word from Starbucks on whether these new items will become permanent, patrons are encouraged to enjoy them "while stocks last."

Brian Niccol, who took over as the new CEO of Starbucks in September 2024, has shared his vision for refreshing the brand's menu and pricing in an effort to recapture customer interest following a slump in sales numbers. Niccol, coming off a successful tenure at Chipotle, has been charged with the task of boosting Starbucks' prosperity.
One of his most significant actions to date is his initiative to simplify the "excessively complicated menu."
The rising costs of Starbucks beverages have significantly impacted customer turnout, as people around the globe are tightening their budgets. For instance, a large blended drink or Frappuccino from Starbucks can cost consumers over £6 in certain instances.
In response to the situation, Niccol stated: "We are committed to streamlining our complicated menu, adjusting our pricing structure, and making sure that every customer leaves feeling that their experience at Starbucks is always worthwhile."
The team told The Mirror that delivering "quality coffee" is still at the forefront of Starbucks' mission, boasting that their coffees cater to all tastes.
