Meet up. Meet Aira at Starbucks.

About the Events

At Starbucks, tasting and sharing coffee is a daily ritual. Join us and along with a Starbucks barista we will explore the four coffee tasting steps – smell, slurp, locate and describe – to discover the rich and complex flavors of coffee. And in the comfort of the Starbucks store, learn more about Aira, a service that provides people who are blind or have low vision with access to visual information.

Aira is one way Starbucks is creating accessible experiences in their stores across the United States. What can you do with Aira at Starbucks? With assistance from an Aira Agent, you can:

Navigate independently and promptly to and from the store
Practice social distancing in line
Get access to the visual menu of the latest seasonal drinks
Identify a person with whom you are meeting
Find a comfy spot to enjoy your beverage!

Join us for a live event in one of eight cities to learn more about Aira, enhance your independence, enjoy a coffee, and get to know your fellow community members. RSVP is preferred but not required. Bring a friend, bring a family member – we want to spread the word about Aira at Starbucks.
