Starbucks first opened its mobile pick-up cafes in 2019 in an effort to “address consumers’ desire for convenience,” according to CNBC. These cafes only accept orders from the Starbucks app. Niccol said that about 80 to 90 of these locations would be closed permanently or be converted into traditional coffeehouses.

If you've ever picked up a lukewarm flat white in a Starbucks that felt more like a hallway than a café, you probably won't be shocked by this news. The company is shutting down dozens of its mobile-order-only stores.
