Barnes & Noble Cafés may serve Starbucks drinks, but they are not operated by Starbucks anymore; they were developed from a previous partnership.
Originally, Starbucks opened locations inside Barnes & Noble stores to increase traffic for both brands, but this changed as Barnes & Noble expanded into unserved areas.
Although Barnes & Noble Cafés use the same ingredients and recipes as Starbucks, customers can't use the Starbucks app or find nearby Starbucks locations.
The shift from Starbucks-operated locations to independent Barnes & Noble Cafés originated from Barnes & Noble's desire to establish cafés in areas where Starbucks had no presence.
