How To Add Starbucks To Your Target Pick Up Order
Okay, picture this: you pull into the Target parking lot, click a button, and someone hands you your entire shopping list — all without ever leaving your car. You feel like an absolute genius. But then, halfway home, you realize you forgot coffee, and suddenly your genius status is revoked.
Good news: Target has a Target+Starbucks partnership that lets you grab your favorite drink without even walking into the store. That's right — you can satisfy your caffeine cravings during your pick-up run. It's basically the grocery-store equivalent of having your cake and eating it too, except the cake is a Venti Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso.
What Even Is Target Pick Up?
If you've never tried it, Target's Drive Up or Order Pickup is a game-changer. You order everything online through the Target app or website, and your stuff is waiting for you at the store — zero mystery shoppers required.

Adding Starbucks To Your Order
Now here's where things get deliciously strategic. When you place your Target pick-up order, you can visit the Starbucks section on Target.com or in the Target app and browse drinks just like you would food and snacks.

Simply add a coffee, tea, or refresher to your pick-up cart alongside your toilet paper and hand soap. Then, during checkout, select Drive Up or Order Pickup — and boom, your pumpkin latte dreams are scheduled for delivery to your car door.
How It Actually Works
Once you complete your order, head to the Target store at your chosen time. Select "I'm here" in the app, and a Target team member will load your groceries into your car.
What about the drink? Here's the catch: your Starbucks beverage isn't typically delivered through the Drive Up lane. Instead, your order will be prepared, and you can grab it inside the store or at the Starbucks counter.
