Experience the sweetness of a Starbucks Valentine’s Day
If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day spot that’s intimate, cosy and full of romance, you’ve come to the right place.
At Starbucks, we love to celebrate special events throughout the year with beverages, sweets and merchandise to suit. And Valentine’s Day is no exception.
Let us take you through what this year has in store for the lovebirds…
Starbucks Valentine’s Day drinks you MUST try
Since forever, coffee’s been a perfect date idea – whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not. Sitting across from a special someone sharing a rich brew is one way to get sparks flying. But even if you’ve been together for decades, sharing a coffee is an intimate experience where you can just enjoy one another’s company.
Celebrate love with Starbucks beverages
The warm, inviting and cosy atmosphere of your local Starbucks store is like a setting taken straight out of a romance movie. To add to the experience, you know that your beverage has been crafted with the same care the barista would show their own Valentine.
And just like the two of you, some beverages simply go together like they were made to be. If you’re ordering hot, we’d recommend a White Chocolate Mocha and a Caramel Macchiato. After something cooler? The Salted Caramel Iced Shaken Espresso and Iced Chai Tea Latte are complementary ways to get a hint of caffeine.
But if you’re feeling more adventurous, why not opt for something a little more elaborate? The Cookies & Cream Frappuccino® and Iced Matcha Latte with Strawberry Cold Foam are both infused with love, so each sip is more irresistible than the last.
If you still need inspiration, take a recommendation from one of our friendly baristas. Or, head to our socials to see what’s sparking the most conversation recently.
The best spot for Valentine’s Day coffee
It’s not just the beverages that make Starbucks the ideal date spot for Valentine’s Day, though. It’s also the combination of an intimate atmosphere, lovable treats (more on that to come!) and offers that couples can’t get enough of.
Valentine’s Day offers at Starbucks
To fill your heart as much as your cup, we’re also celebrating Valentine’s Day at Starbucks with our Frappuccino® Happy Hour.
Between 5-6pm on Friday the 14th of February, all Frappuccino® beverages are half-price*! So you can get one for you and one for your date, and only pay the price of a single Frappuccino® – how good!
Please note, this offer can only be enjoyed instore so you can get the full cafe experience with your significant other.
*Offer available instore only, not available via mobile order and pay. Excludes Melton and WA stores.
Edible Valentine’s Day treats
You know what pairs perfectly with a hand-crafted beverage? A delicious sweet treat to fall in love with.
Delight your Valentine with a deliciously delectable Caramel Slice, tantalise their tastebuds with an Iced Chocolate Donut or gift them one of the many delicious flavours available from our French Macaron range.
For the real icing on the cake, head to our treats menu to see what seasonal delights we’ve got on offer at the moment.
You can order your heartfelt goodies via the app or instore for a bit of post-coffee sweetness.
Give them a present to unwrap on Valentine’s Day
So they’ve got a full stomach and an equally full heart. But in true form, you like to go above and beyond when it comes to your special someone.
Luckily for you, we’ve got a range of merchandise that will make their heart swell.
Our drinkware is both gorgeous and functional, so they can keep their cold brews chilly with a stylish cold cup, or maintain the heat of their warm coffees with a cute stainless steel tumbler.
A particular favourite for couples is the Made for Each Other Cold Cup. The otters on the front are giving major ‘you and me’ vibes.
BONUS GIFT TIP: We regularly update the merch mix online, so check back to pick up a present for their birthday, Christmas, or just to say ‘I love you’.
Starbucks is the ideal date location, year-round
Although Valentine’s Day is an excellent reminder to express love and gratitude to the person who means the most, there’s no rule saying you can only do so on February 14.
In fact, sometimes the spontaneous, unplanned dates are the most meaningful. Especially if either of you have busy schedules and aren’t free on Valentine’s Day.
Why not randomly surprise your loved one with a takeaway beverage or a sweet treat that you picked up on the way home at one of our drive-thrus? It’s the perfect way to show they’ve been on your mind.
Likewise, your local Starbucks Australia store is the ideal date spot any day of the year. Relax into the comfy seating and soak up the atmosphere while you sip away on a delicious handcrafted beverage. Our extended opening hours provide the perfect kickstart to the day or after work reprieve.
You never know – you might just end up as smitten with a delicious new type of coffee as you are with the company you’re sharing it with!
