Starting on Tuesday, June 24 Starbucks rolled out new charges.
The coffee shop now charges 80 cents for any combination of sauces or syrups, regardless of the number of pumps or flavors.
Other add-ins like matcha powder will cost $1 per scoop, dried fruit 50 cents, and chai concentrate 80 cents a serving.
However, Classic syrup will remain free in any beverage, and you can still add or substitute sauces in pre-flavored drinks, like a mocha frappuccino, at no extra charge.
To help customers track these changes, Starbucks is introducing a new pricing update feature in its app.
As customers customize their orders, the updated prices will be shown in real time. The move comes under CEO Brian Niccol’s leadership as part of a broader strategy to boost sales and streamline operations.
In an email to KSBY Starbucks officials say they have standardized the cost of flavor modifications to simplify the logic, add customer value, and ensure consistency so there are fewer fees when customers customize their beverages.
The company says the changes will result in a better value for customers.
