Starbucks will offer nationwide DoorDash delivery by March

DoorDash and Starbucks plan to expand their delivery partnership to all 50 US states by March this year, the companies announced Tuesday. Following a pilot that began last year in Atlanta, Houston and Sacramento (and later expanded to Seattle, Portland and New York City), people in North California, Texas, Georgia and Florida can now turn to DoorDash when they want a Starbucks coffee delivered to them.

According to Starbucks, it will offer 95 percent of the items found on in-store menus through DoorDash. You can also customize your order just like when you order in person. The app allows you to specify whether you want syrup in your drink, your milk preference and your choice of expresso roast. DoorDash also promises prompt delivery of coffee orders but stops short of a specific guarantee. DashPass customers won’t need to pay additional delivery fees to get their pumpkin spice latte orders to their door. For everyone else, DoorDash’s standard delivery and service fees apply.

Uber Eats has offered nationwide delivery of Starbucks orders since 2019, making the timing of the DoorDash expansion somewhat puzzling. By all accounts, the era of massive growth delivery firms saw during the first two years of the pandemic has come to an end. Between the easing of lockdown restrictions in many jurisdictions and cost of living increases, fewer people are using delivery apps.

Limited Edition Resident Evil First Aid Themed Drink Box

Styled after the first-aid sprays found throughout Resident Evil games, GameFlavor has collaborated with Capcom to create the Resident Evil First Aid Drink Collector’s Box, a box of canned beverages inspired by the in-game health items. That’s cool, but if life plans on treating me as brutally as the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, I’m going to need way more than just one box.

The boxes, limited to 4,750 worldwide, each contain 10 cucumber lime mint soft drink cans, along with one spray cap to put on top for realism, and four “save” typewriter ribbon canisters each containing a different colored herb (also inspired by the ones from the games) for mixing fancy cocktails. Wow, I had no idea there was such an overlap in the Resident Evil fan base and mixologist markets.

Am I going to buy a case? Well, the cases are priced at around $215, making them significantly more expensive than the store-brand soft drinks I use for mixers now, so that answer is more than likely a very strong ‘no.’ Which, coincidentally, is the same answer I’d give if you asked if I feel comfortable playing Resident Evil Village at home alone after dark.
