From The KIB: Starbucks Drinks
The Kosher Information Bureau continues to recommend the following at all outlets of Starbucks…
All cold unflavored coffee or tea. Flavoring comes in a bottle that is displayed. One should check the bottle for reliable certification, usually an O/U or O/K.
Starbucks in a Kiosk, supermarket etc. is fine for the above as well as hot drinks.
Any packaged baked goods (cookies etc.) pre-packaged, with a reliable Kosher certification
We suggest looking at www.kosherstarbucks.com for further information on these matters.

The Kosher Information Bureau continues to recommend the following at all outlets of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf…

It is important to note that fresh baked goods at any food establishment can come from many different sources and we only recommend those with a reliable Hashgacha.
In addition, even in venues where Coffee Bean shares space with a non-Kosher concession (such as in Dodger Stadium), the Coffee Bean drinks are still recommended.
