Starbucks App Crashes Across Major U.S. Cities, Leaving Millions Without Their Morning Coffee Fix

It’s a rough start for many Americans today as Starbucks faces a major hiccup.

The popular coffee chain’s app is currently out of commission, leaving coffee lovers in a bind before they head to work.

According to DownDetector, a service that tracks online disruptions, the Starbucks app went down at around 8:30 a.m. ET.

This has led to widespread issues, including problems with placing mobile orders.

The company’s website also appears to be having trouble, which means customers are unable to complete their orders online.

Social Media Meltdown

Frustrated customers have taken to social media to express their discontent.

Many are sharing their struggles of starting the day without their beloved caffeine fix, with some even describing their mornings as a complete mess.

Outage Details

DownDetector’s outage map reveals that the problem is affecting major cities like Boston, New York, Washington DC, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Tampa.

The bulk of the trouble, around 91%, is linked to the app itself. A small portion, 7%, is related to login issues, while 2% are having trouble with the checkout process.

Impact on Users

With approximately 33 million Americans using the Starbucks app, the exact number of those affected by the outage remains unclear.
