More change is underway at Starbucks, which recently announced plans to cut some items across its food and beverage menu.

Brian Niccol, newly appointed chairman and CEO, outlined the "fundamental change in strategy" on a Tuesday earnings call, noting that recently enacted changes like the return of the condiment bar and extending free refills to all customers will help get the Seattle-based coffee chain "Back to Starbucks."

"Over the past four months, we've been focused on getting Back to Starbucks and those things that have always set us apart, a welcoming coffeehouse where people gather and where we serve the finest coffee handcrafted by our skilled baristas," Niccol said.

Niccol, who vowed to prioritize customers and boost sales, said the company has been focusing on "simplifying" the menu, but did not offer specifics on what food or beverage items would be cut. Starbucks has also removed the extra charge for non-dairy milk.

Here's what to know about the recent changes at Starbucks, including when select food and beverage offerings may be cut from the menu.

When will Starbucks begin to eliminate items from the menu?

Starbucks will begin to "optimize" its menu offerings in the coming months, resulting in a 30% reduction in both beverage and food items by the end of the 2025 fiscal year, which is June 30, 2025.

"Refreshing our menu boards and improving cafe merchandising to reflect the coffeehouse feel and better showcase our simplified menu," will be the focus, Niccol said.

Other changes at Starbucks

Over the course of Niccol's four-month tenure, the company has enacted multiple changes, including the reversal of its open-door policy, unveiled new and returning coffeehouse amenities in addition the menu overhaul.

Earlier this month, Starbucks announced customers were required to make a purchase in order hang out or use the bathroom, reversing a policy enacted in 2018. The chain's new code of conduct, which will be posted at U.S. locations, also bans discrimination or harassment, consumption of outside alcohol, smoking, vaping, drug use and panhandling.

Then, earlier this week, Starbucks said it was extending a Starbucks Rewards Members-only perk to all in-house customers and that coffee condiment bars were back and would be fully stocked.
