At the outlet, customers can enjoy the new Chocolatey Wafflecone Coffee Frappuccino® blended beverage and Strawberry Wafflecone Crème Frappuccino®, and Starbucks® UK proudly serves a broad range of dairy alternative options with no additional charge. Customers looking for a quick bite on the go can also try the new Brownie Bites, available in Cookies & Cream, White Chocolate & Raspberry Blondie and Miso Caramel. Digital ordering is available to travellers via the Starbucks® UK App, available for iPhone® and Android, as well as free airport Wi-Fi.

Cathy Granby, Business Development Director UK&I, SSP said: “Starbucks® is a highly regarded brand name, not only in the UK but globally, and we’re proud to have worked with the team for a number of years. This new unit at Birmingham Airport is a wonderful next step as we expand our presence at the airport, delivering F&B options that truly enhance the airport experience for travellers.”

Richard Gill, Commercial Director of Birmingham Airport commenting on the forthcoming opening said: “It is fantastic to see Starbucks®, a world recognisable brand, return to Birmingham Airport. 

“We have worked closely with the team to create a bespoke design that our customers will find welcoming. Starbucks® will offer menus with a wide range of plant based options, as well as offering reusable cups. This is a great addition to our departure lounge catering offer for our customers.”

The store welcomed its first customers on the 3rd July 2023.
