Starbucks

Brewing Comfort for American Armed Forces

Coffee. You might think that’s the whole story. But Starbucks on American Bases in Europe is so much more.

Our Mission:

More Than Coffee

Starbucks is more than a café; it’s a “third place” between work and home. A space for connection, relaxation, and a touch of normalcy.

‍
We serve moments that matter by creating environments where military personnel feel comfortable, happy, and at home – even when they’re miles away from everything familiar.

‍
Every Starbucks partner is challenged to "make someone’s day, every day." Our team, many of whom are military spouses or dependents, are deeply integrated into the base community, building a welcoming store environment where customers feel seen, valued, and at home.
