Debuting today, the first day of summer, the Chicken Maple Butter and Egg Sandwich features breaded white meat chicken, fluffy eggs, and a maple butter spread on a toasted oat biscuit roll for what Starbucks describes as "a satisfying and savory sandwich with a hint of sweetness.

As for beverages, the Pineapple Passionfruit beverage features "tropical flavors of pineapple and passionfruit, hand shaken by Starbucks baristas with real diced pineapple pieces and ice to create a delicious island escape that is 100 calories for a Grande." The chain then adds, "Customers can also order the beverage with lemonade for an extra burst of flavor."

"The Paradise Drink Starbucks Refreshers beverage is like sunshine in a cup — the bright tropical flavors are radiant, happy, and joyful," Raegan Powell, a senior product developer from Starbucks R&D who led the creation of the new drink, stated in the announcement. "It's the perfect summer sip for a little moment of escape wherever you are."

Starbucks is also adding a Cookies & Cream Cake Pop, which "combines chocolate cake with creamy sandwich cookie buttercream and cookie bits, dipped in white chocolate coating, and finished with dark chocolate cookie crumb."

Starbucks is also adding new summer-inspired cold cups, tumblers, water bottles and more, with the reminder that Starbucks Rewards members who bring in a clean, reusable cup are still able to earn a 25 Stars bonus in addition to the existing 10 cents off their beverage.
