The Saffron Cold Brew offers a refreshing option with bold flavors, while the Saffron Masala Chai gives a festive twist to Starbucks' popular tea drink.

To accompany these beverages, Starbucks has partnered with Bombay Sweet Shop to create a selection of mithai-inspired desserts. Items such as the Gulab Jamun Trifle, Khubani Barfi Bar, and White Choco Kaju Nankhatai are now available, combining traditional Indian sweets with contemporary flavors.

Sameer Seth, Founder and CEO of Hunger Inc. Hospitality, which owns Bombay Sweet Shop, said, “Indian sweets and mithai are at the heart of every Diwali celebration. This partnership beautifully combines the essence of mithai with contemporary flavors, offering a unique experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation."

In addition to the menu, Starbucks India has also curated exclusive gift hampers for the festive season, featuring items like the Bearista Plushie in traditional attire, the Diwali Blend coffee, and assorted dry fruits and nut fudge. Prices for the hampers start at Rs 870, available until stocks last.

As part of its community-focused initiatives, Starbucks continues its "Empowering Girls and Young Women" program, aimed at supporting education and skills development for girls in India. With each new store opening, Starbucks sponsors a girl's education, contributing to its goal of empowering 1,200 girls by March 2025.

This festive menu, along with the brand’s broader initiatives, reflects Starbucks’ ongoing commitment to celebrating India’s rich cultural heritage while contributing to the community.
