Coffee lovers in Milton Keynes can now order their hot drinks from behind the wheel instead of at the counter after the town has welcomed a Starbucks drive-thru.
On Friday, Milton Keynes’ first 24 hour Sturbucks opened its hatch at The Place Retail Park in the town’s centre.
And soon latte lovers across the country will be able to use the facility as Starbucks begins its plans to roll out 200 UK drive-thrus.
To order a coffee, customers speak into a microphone and then drive forward to a manned hatch where a Starbucks employee hands over the drink.
The drive-thrus are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The concept has been popular in America for years, with thousands of outlets across the country.
Drive-thrus cropped up as early as 2008 in the UK when Starbucks experimented with 10 initial roadside outlets. The first was opened in Cardiff.
