Our Coffeehouse Code of Conduct

We want to ensure our spaces are prioritized for use by our customers. Our Coffeehouse Code of Conduct is something most retailers have and is designed to provide clarity that our spaces – including our cafes, patios and restrooms – are for use by customers and partners. 

The code of conduct is displayed in our stores to remind customers of the role they play in creating a community coffeehouse that is inviting and welcoming.

Welcome to Starbucks. We’re happy you’re here.   

Starbucks spaces are for use by our partners and customers – this includes our cafes, patios and restrooms.   

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment. We expect everyone to treat one another with respect and follow our code of conduct:      

  • No misuse or disruption of our spaces   
  • No discrimination or harassment   
  • No violence or abusive/threatening language   
  • No consuming outside alcohol  
  • No smoking/vaping or drug use  
  • No panhandling 

We will ask anyone not following this code of conduct to leave the store and may ask for help from law enforcement.

Our mission

To be the premier purveyor of the finest coffee in the world, inspiring and nurturing the human spirit — one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.
