You're at your desk with your laptop open, your workday stretching ahead: why pull out your phone to order coffee when you can do it from the same screen you're already looking at? Running Starbucks on your PC lets you place orders, manage your Rewards account, and check store hours without switching devices. The desktop version keeps your saved drinks, payment methods, and favorite locations accessible in one place, making it simple to order ahead during a work session or while multitasking.
Starbucks on your PC brings the full mobile ordering experience to your desktop, streamlining how you grab your regular drink and earn rewards without ever leaving your workflow.
Ordering Ahead Without Breaking Focus
Place your order through the app before you head to the store, then pick it up at the counter. On a desktop, you can reference your previous orders and saved drink customizations while your browser stays open to your work. The app remembers your preferred payment methods and store locations, so each order takes just a few taps. Starbucks Rewards members earn Stars with every purchase, bringing you closer to free food and drinks along with a birthday treat.
How a Coffee Run Fits Into Your Desktop Day
The ordering process unfolds in a few simple steps:
- Open Starbucks on your PC and review nearby store hours and amenities like drive-thru availability
- Select your drink or food from the menu and apply any saved customizations you've stored
- Choose your payment method and confirm pickup time or location
- Get a notification when your order is ready and head out to collect it
- Earn Rewards Stars during checkout and watch your balance grow toward free items
Building Your Rewards Balance
Join Starbucks Rewards to accumulate Stars toward free food and drinks. The app tracks your earnings and lets you view your balance, redeem rewards, and track progress toward bonus offers. You can earn extra Stars through challenges and games within the app, helping you reach free items faster. Starbucks Rewards members also receive a birthday reward, provided you've made at least one Star-earning purchase before your birthday.
Sharing and Customizing Your Experience
Send eGifts to friends directly from the app via email, text, or your favorite messaging platform: choose from various designs for different occasions. While the desktop version supports most drink orders, some users note that the app does not provide access to all the customization options available to baristas in stores, though core preferences like dairy alternatives can be saved to your account for faster reordering.
Tipping and Payment Options
Pay with the Starbucks app at participating U.S. locations and leave a tip for baristas when you pick up your order. Scanning to pay through the app is faster than fumbling for a wallet, and you'll earn Rewards on every transaction. Your Stars accumulate regardless of whether you order ahead or pay in-store, so consistent use builds toward your next free drink.
