coffeehouse

Starbucks has been working hard to bring back customers, promising faster service and a return its coffeehouse roots, with ceramic mugs and hand-written notes.

As part of the deal, it plans to build “a specially-designed” coffeehouse in the Olympic and Paralympic villages, and will serve coffee across competition venues, volunteer hubs and other locations.

Starbucks helped spread coffeehouse culture across the U.S. starting in the 1980s, introducing many Americans to dark-roasted coffee served in a cafe setting.

“Our coffeehouses are centers of the community, and closing any location is difficult,” Niccol said in the message to employees.
