With the opening of the new year of 2026, the food industries are shifting to bring new menus and a new world of flavor to their customers. Within only a few days of this year, there have been multiple changes to internationally known food companies, from adding new drinks to making complete changes of how the menus work.
Crumbl Cookies is known for its extravagantly large cookies and the way that they change their flavors every week to a cookie that is just as delicious as the previous one. Although, in this new year, they have begun to change the way they do things. From now on, every month there will be six ‘’here to stay’’ cookies and ‘four “this week only’’ cookies. This will ensure that everyone has a flavor they will enjoy and to make sure that people will return to Crumbl Cookies for their daily sweet treat. As of January 2026,, they have also come out with a new flavor called the Dubai Biscoff Brownie, and this has brought both a surprise and controversial opinion out of customers with the way that Dubai Chocolate is returning to 2026. This is not only at Crumble Cookie, but it is also at Starbucks.
On January 6th, 2026, Starbucks launched its Dubai Chocolate inspired drinks, including the Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha and Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. These drinks were highly inspired by the viral 2025 TikTok trend where people would create different types of drinks inspired by their love for the famous Dubai Chocolate Bar. Aside from their incoming drink, there is another beverage that may be returning to the stores of Starbucks, known as the Unicorn Frappucino. This drink is famously known for its mango syrup, sour pink and blue powders, and white mocha chocolate sauce drizzle to top the drink off.
In addition to the known food companies adding new products to their menus, it is also occurring in the well-known Wholesale company,Costco. Costco is highly recognized for their delicious and cheap items, such as their Pepperoni Pizza, Chicken Bake, Hot Dogs, Chocolate Chunk Cookie, and their creamy in-house made Ice Cream. A new addition of a Costco Biscoff Cookie Shake is coming to the menu in early months this year, for a blend of sweet vanilla ice cream and the deep caramel taste of Biscoff . Many Costco regulars are very ecstatic about this new menu drop and to get a taste for themselves.
Not only have new drinks been arising from many beverage chains, but they have also been opening new locations in Arizona that are widespread in other areas of the United States. This includes the new opening of a quite popular coffee shop known as La La Land Kind Cafe, which is named after the famous movie La La Land that stars renowned actors Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Nevertheless, La La Land had a grand opening in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 3, 2026, with a line all the way down the street, making the wait range from 30 minutes to two hours depending on the day. La La Land is widely known for their Matcha Lattes, La La Latte, and Banana Cloud Latte, all served in a clear cup with a bright yellow lid and a very cute logo on the front of the cup. In addition to a new cafe opening in Scottsdale, a restaurant known as Din Tai Fung will be opening a location in Scottsdale Quarter in the month of April, 2026.
