As of March 2024, tens of Montreal restaurants, cafés and bars have been hit with infractions from the MAPAQ (Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation Quebec), for reasons including sanitation issues, staff hygiene, food quality as well as preparation and processing standards.

After inspecting a popular Starbucks in Montreal, the MAPAQ fined the café $2,500 after failing to meet the MAPAQ's inspection team's quality control.

There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a hearty breakfast sandwich – a sausage patty, fried egg, and a nice layer of cheese, all comfortably sandwiched between a perfectly toasted English muffin. C'mon…what more can you ask for? Add in a refreshing iced coffee (my personal go-to) and a pair of crispy hash browns and you've got yourself the perfect on-the-go morning grub. Well, at least in my book.

Now, thanks to the breakfast revolution, most fast-food joints offer all-day breakfast, making it easier than ever to satisfy those breakfast sandwich cravings anytime you please. While McDonald's may have made the sausage, egg, and cheese classic famous, the fast food joint has got some stiff competition these days. Other fast-food favourites like Starbucks, Wendy's, and Tim Hortons have joined the breakfast party and are serving up their own renditions of this beloved breakfast staple.

You can sip your Starbucks drink with a little less guilt — yes, you could be saving money by making coffee at home, but at least you're not dishing out the most in the world for a latte.

A new ranking of global Starbucks prices shows Canada isn't the priciest link in the café chain. But if you're looking to spend less on your favourite custom order, you may want to consider a move.

Step aside, purple rain, there's a new music-inspired violet beverage in town: lavender haze from Starbucks' secret menu is taking fans of the café chain and Taylor Swift by storm.

Swifties are sweet on the soft purple drink because it looks straight out of the pop star's latest music video, which sees her bathing in a milky purple liquid. For Starbucks fans, it's a chance to flex insider knowledge of custom recipes.

The beginning of the holiday season is a corporate fabrication. Electric displays, lurid retail window decorations and plastic gifts are the true heralds of the months-long buildup to the December holidays. But free stuff somehow makes it all tolerable. Starbucks Canada is bringing back its holiday season free cup giveaway, offering reusable red tumblers to customers who order a so-called handcrafted fall or winter beverage on November 17.

Canadians don't even have to leave the comfort of their homes to claim theirs. The promotion is valid for in-store, drive-thru, Starbucks app and Uber Eats purchases.

Yup, we're not even waiting for September anymore.

As of Tuesday, June 21, summer is officially here and to celebrate, Starbucks Canada wants you to buy its new drinks. The coffee chain has unveiled two new tropical-themed Refreshers so you can still pretend to take part in the Summer of Revenge Travel even if endless lines at the airport are keeping you from a real Caribbean vacation.

The first new beverage, the Pineapple Passion Fruit Refresher, consists of what Starbucks in a press release describes as "tropical pineapple and passion fruit flavours" hand-shaken with chunks of pineapple. Starbucks patrons can also ask for a dash of lemonade to make it extra sweet.

If you've ever been bewildered by the seemingly endless but unwritten ways you can customize Starbucks Canada drink orders, this announcement is for you. The company is redoing its cafe menu boards to show customization options.

In a press release, Starbucks suggested it's trying to better accommodate people with dietary restrictions. It cited a 2021 survey showing 9% of Canadians don't consume dairy, 5% are vegetarian and 16% are on a low or no-carb diet.
