The Foodie Diary blog post discusses Starbucks' plan to discontinue 13 drinks starting March 4, 2025. This decision is part of a "Back to Starbucks" initiative led by CEO Brian Niccol to streamline the menu and refocus on coffee. The drinks being cut include several Frappuccinos, iced options, and hot beverages. The reasons for the cuts are simplifying operations, focusing on popular items, and reducing redundancy. While some customers and baristas are pleased with the change, others lament the loss of their favorite drinks. Starbucks aims to balance efficiency with innovation by introducing new menu items alongside the cuts.
