R25 coffee before 8am… What? Starbucks? And it’s not just a standard Americano? Did I hear right? YES! Mornings set the tone for the rest of the day. Whether it’s a quick stop before work, a pause before lectures, or a moment carved out before the city fully wakes up, those early hours tend to belong to people who move with intention.
In a market where most coffee chains price a tall latte between R37 and R45, and even fast-food options sit closer to R30, Starbucks is doing something unexpected. This is not a stripped back, basic option. This is the full menu of espresso favourites, priced below what you would pay almost anywhere else.
Starbucks is leaning into that moment with a new morning special across all stores, with selected tall espresso based beverages, hot or iced, from a Cappuccino, Latte, Caramel Macchiato, Americano, Mocha, White Mocha, Classic Iced Cappuccino, Iced Latte, Iced Caramel Macchiato, Iced White Mocha, Iced Mocha, and Iced Americano; available for only R25, offering customers a simple way to begin the day on their own terms.
Early mornings at Starbucks with your favourite barista writing you a special message, or bumping into your regular neighbour, it’s the perfect way to have this morning community ritual moment. There’s a sense that everyone there is on their way somewhere. This promotion fits neatly into that window, encouraging people to arrive a little earlier and take a moment before the day takes over.
The focus is on ease and consistency. The same drinks, the same stores, simply offered at a different price point during the calmest part of the day. An invitation to slow down briefly, even when time feels tight.
The R25 morning special is available at all Starbucks stores, every morning before 8:00 am until 20 February, on selected tall espresso-based beverages. A small shift in routine, but one that can quietly change how the day begins.
Terms and Conditions:
This offer is valid daily from store opening until 08:00 am, until 20 February 2026, on select tall beverages only, while stocks last.
The offer is not redeemable in conjunction with eBucks, or any vouchers, and is not available on delivery platforms.
The offer is limited to Tall sized hot or iced versions of the following beverages only: Cappuccino, Latte, Caramel Macchiato, Americano, Mocha, White Mocha, Classic Iced Cappuccino, Iced Latte, Iced Caramel Macchiato, Iced White Mocha, Iced Mocha, and Iced Americano.
Any modifiers, customisations, upgrades, or add ons will be charged at full price.

Political monopoly and economic monopoly are two sides of the same coin, two heads of the same monster. Despite all the claims to the contrary, the essential ideology of Neo-Conservatism is to preserve the status quo, with all of its injustices. Its Public Relations experts call for \”freedom and democracy\” without a framework of higher values. They fail to comprehend the need for a paradigm of justice and therefore are blind to what concerns most of the people in the world. This failure is the taproot of terrorism. – Robert Dickson Crane
