Students seeking a Frappuccino will soon have to venture beyond the UCLA campus.

ASUCLA cafes are transitioning away from the sale of Starbucks-branded drinks, according to a statement from an ASUCLA spokesperson. Once this transition is complete, no ASUCLA-run coffee shops will serve Starbucks products.

“The ASUCLA Board of Directors recommended, for consideration, an introduction of new branded products that meets the needs of the UCLA community and continues the versatility of product offerings,” the spokesperson said in the statement.

Anderson Café, which has been serving Starbucks products since 2019, and ScrubJay Café, which has served Starbucks products since its opening in 2023, had been the only ASUCLA cafes serving Starbucks coffee.

In an Instagram story Monday, ASUCLA announced that ScrubJay Café would now be serving Peet’s Coffee products.

ASUCLA’s contracts with Starbucks have recently come under scrutiny, with the Undergraduate Students Association Council – which is part of ASUCLA – passing a resolution in November calling on the ASUCLA Board of Directors to cut all contracts with Starbucks, citing allegations of anti-labor activity. The resolution stated that ASUCLA entered into a contract with Starbucks in 2019 when Anderson Café began serving Starbucks-branded products, and it included a statement of solidarity with Starbucks workers leading unionization efforts.

However, a spokesperson for ASUCLA said the organization did not have a contract with Starbucks, nor did it operate a licensed Starbucks franchise on campus.

In a statement on behalf of USAC, President Adam Tfayli said that while “there may have been some mix up with regard to the official language that was used,” the council is happy that action had been taken following the November resolution.

“It goes to show the power of the collective student voice in making a difference on campus,” he said in the statement.

Students Against Starbucks at UCLA, an organization that says it aims to defend the rights of Starbucks workers, has demanded since at least December that ASUCLA transition away from the sale of Starbucks products at its locations.

SAS at UCLA shared an email on its Instagram in February that appeared to be from the chairperson of the ASUCLA Services Committee at the time.

In the email, the chairperson stated that the committee “has provided guidance to initiate exploration of a transition” away from Starbucks products, which would occur this summer and finish before the beginning of the upcoming school year. They also said this potential transition would be based on responses to the annual ASUCLA student survey, but they did not commit to or confirm such a transition and also noted that ASUCLA has no agreements with Starbucks. The Daily Bruin could not confirm the authenticity of the email.

In a written statement, a spokesperson for SAS at UCLA said the group was aware of and appreciates ASUCLA’s transition away from using Starbucks-branded products.

“We appreciate the Board of Director’s follow-through on the commitment they have made to be in solidarity with workers seeking dignity and respect in the workplace at Starbucks,” the statement said.

In a statement, a spokesperson from the Starbucks Corporation said the company respects its “partners’ right to organize, freely associate, engage in lawful union activities and bargain collectively without fear of reprisal or retaliation.”
