Coffee Shops (Starbucks, Costa, Caffe Nero etc)
It is always preferable to purchase hot drinks from a kosher supervised establishment, but if this is not possible, it would be permitted to have plain coffee in a disposable cup from any coffee shop, provided that the coffee and water come from a machine which does not dispense any liquid other than water or plain coffee. One may add cold milk or plain soya milk from its original container. Hot water, coffee, and hot or frothed milk from jugs is better avoided.
Smoothies, whipped toppings, and beverages such as frappuccinos and hot chocolate etc are not permitted. Starbucks Coffee Syrups are no longer KLBD Certified.
Starbucks Refresha Drinks Cool Lime, Strawberry Acai and Pink Coconut contain grape juice and are Not Kosher. |
One of the issues with starbucks is that their carafes are stainless steel which is mekabel tuma as opposed to a classic glass carafe usually used in coffee shops which is not mekabel tuma. Therefor what you posted does not apply. Starbucks is a complex issue.

I fully trust that the rabbonim from the London Beth din have looked into this matter extensively and how it works in the Uk market and have advised accordingly.

Depends on where, the almond milk has a hechsher here, plain coffee is ok and some syrups have a hechsher, ask to see the bottle, they don't mind at alll.

IIRC, it's across from Anita, the gelato store, or somewhere in that vicinity.

Is Starbucks the only place you can get coffee from in America? No, I wouldn't think so. |
I'm not a frequent Starbucks customer, but when I was staying with my mom in the hospital, I would take a walk 2x a day to the Starbucks around the corner for some fresh air and some much needed caffeine.
It's situations like this, that I'd like to know what I can and cannot buy from the closest coffee shop.

I happen to be a serious coffee drinker. Used to love Starbucks. Became a bit more of a coffee snob and now am really only content with the brew I make at home or small business coffee shops.
Sometimes I think we have to be a bit more moser nefesh. Do we really have to try to find every possible way to make getting drinks from a treif establishment okay? Straight hot or iced coffee, I get. Anything more fancy, not so much. Probably smart to err on the side of caution. I’m speaking to myself here too.
