Culturally Infused Cafe Sandwiches

Starbucks Dropped a Line of International Sandwich Flavors

— July 26, 2018 — Lifestyle
Starbucks Canada launched a new selection of artisan sandwich flavors throughout its locations, reaching out towards lunch crowds. Applying international notes, the line includes flavors from Vietnam, Cuba, Italy and more. The new sandwich options include the Chimichurri Chicken, the Cubano, the Brie and Apple Chicken, the Caprese, and most notably the Banh Mi Chicken sandwich.

While the Chimichurri Chicken sees roasted chicken, chimichurri, baby spinach, Havarti cheese, relish on baked herb bread, the Cubano elevates the Cuban sandwich with honey-glazed ham, smoked bacon, melted Swiss cheese, dill pickle and jalapeno dijon on baked bread.

The global coffee chain's new line of sandwich flavors elevates regular cafe sandwiches with a taste of international elements. All of the sandwiches are available at select Starbucks locations throughout Canada.
