Coffee crisis as Starbucks app goes down for Americans heading to work

Starbucks’ mobile app went down for Americans heading to work on Friday, less than a day after it dropped it’s new holiday menu.

Downdetector, which tracks app and website outages, reported that more than 2,500 customers were complaining about issues with the app since about 7:00am ET.

The outage has spread across the US, affecting customers in major cities like New York, Dallas, Washington, DC and Boston.

Issues first started on Thursday when Starbucks released it’s holiday menu containing fan favorites like its Gingerbread Oat Milk Chai and Peppermint Mocha.

Although the company said it had resolved the app’s outage, customers were outraged when they still couldn’t access it a day later. 

‘Could you please get it together?’ one person wrote on X. 

‘Day number two of this nonsense of having to stand in line to order my coffee like a peasant because your app is broken.’

The Starbucks app won’t allow customers to view it’s new holiday menu or select a location to order from, leaving many wondering how they’ll get their caffeine fix when they’re pressed for time.

‘Can’t select a store to order at, menu isn’t there,’ one enraged Starbucks customer complained on DownDetector. 

‘I want to see what new holiday drinks they have but I can’t because I can’t select a location,’ another customer wrote.

When a customer complained on X that she couldn’t access the Starbucks app, the company responded, saying it is ‘currently experiencing a temporary outage of the order-ahead-and-pay feature in our app.’

Starbucks added on its customer service account: ‘We continue to welcome and serve customers in our drive-thru and in-store.’

However, customers argue that they don’t have time to go inside and order and expressed disappointment that they can’t get their much-desired holiday drink.

‘Is the Starbucks app seriously down again?’ one person wrote on X, adding: ‘I can’t handle any more disappointment this week.’

Another person said despairingly that they just wanted to order their holiday drink, while another commented: ‘Starbucks app is down and all I wanted was a peppermint cold brew.’

Starbucks has not confirmed what caused the outage or when it will be running normally.
