Thankfully, they’ve obviously been listening to our streams of complaints, and have now added a Starbucks Evenings menu to shops in America, which offers a range of snacks, beers and wines.

The coffee giant has been making requests such as these in hundreds of communities across the country and plans to roll out a new Evenings menu at two dozen new locations this week, according to USA Today.
I hopped on the train to Williamsburg to see for myself if Starbucks has what it takes to be a nightly social hub.
Have you ever been to a Starbucks at night time? The evening menu’s tapas-like food items include bacon-wrapped dates, goat cheese and artichoke flatbread pizza, and truffle mac ‘n cheese.
The preliminary style checks have been usually constructive, however you will not discover a sous chef or expanded kitchen the best way you’d at a historically foodie hang-out. A team of employees narrowed a list of 500 potential wines down to ten that will be put on their menu. However, it’s not as if a pour of a Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc tastes any different than the wine bar down the street doing the same thing.
Starbucks has indicated that customers will order wine in the exact same way that they order coffee. Starbucks just might be committed to this for the long haul. Sure, this can be a drawback at each restaurant with a beer and wine license, however it’s new territory for the in any other case healthful Starbucks.
Starbucks Evenings may also scare away young families who were hoping to score a pre-dinner cookie for their kids, and flavored iced tea for the parents.
