Changes arrive at Starbucks US. cafés on Monday, including a new code of conduct, free refills and the return of condiment bars. Why it matters: The coffee giant has been trying to reverse a decline in foot traffic and go back to its roots under a plan Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol outlined in September.

These customers will be able to enjoy free refills on hot brewed or iced coffee, or hot or iced tea during their visit. Starbucks says folks must have their first beverage served in a ceramic mug, glass or personal cup — no disposable vessels — to receive free refills.

Starbucks is bringing back free refills and a condiment station, but there are few rules to be able to use these services.

Starbucks fans can now get free refills for some drinks — but not all. The coffee chain is also bringing back its self-serve milk and sweeteners bar.

No disposable or plastic vessels will be able to get the free refills. Additionally, if you purchase a cold brew, latte, Starbucks Refresher, Iced Tea Lemonade and many other drinks, you won’t be able to get the same drink for your free refill.

Starbucks rolls out new initiatives in order to bring forth a sense of community, and one of these initiatives is returning to writing names on cups.

The free refills will be served in coffee mugs, glasses, or a clean personal cup brought from home and are only available on the same visit at one store. The refills excludes Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew, Iced Tea Lemonade, flavored Iced Tea and Starbucks Refreshers® base. Initial purchase must be made in a reusable cup or “for-here” serveware.

Starbucks is offering a 'for here' option for customers to enjoy drinks in stores in reusable mugs, as well as free refills in stores for hot or iced coffee and tea.

Starbucks is implementing new and old policies at its cafes in the United States and Canada to improve the customer experience. Beginning on Monday, customers who order a “for here” beverage can also get free refills of hot or iced coffee or hot or iced tea during their visit.
