A concerned customer reached out to Starbucks on June 26 asking where their favorite breakfast sandwich was, fearing it was discontinued.
“@Starbucks what’s tea? i’m literally about to have a mental breakdown because impossible breakfast sandwiches have been out of stock for over a week,” the customer wrote.
“Are they discontinued? recalled? like wassup?”
The impossible breakfast sandwich is a popular vegetarian, high-protein option for Starbucks fans and features a savory Impossible sausage made from plants.

Starbucks quickly responded, revealing the chain was “experiencing temporary supply shortages” for some products.
“Items vary by store and some stores will be out of various items at the same time,” the company said in the tweet.
“We’re sorry for the inconvenience and are working quickly to restock items as soon as possible. Thank you.”
The company did not specify which items were directly impacted by the supply shortages.

Though it appears to be impacting at least multiple of the various sandwiches offered by the coffeehouse.
It was not immediately clear whether the supply shortages are still ongoing.
However, on July 8, the Starbucks Care Twitter account shared a similar post in response to a concerned customer.
“Hello, We are experiencing temporary supply shortages of some of our products,” the tweet read.
“Specific items will vary by market and store. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working quickly and closely with our supply chain vendors to restock items as soon as possible.”
Starbucks confirmed with The US Sun that some locations were experiencing shortages for the Impossible Breakfast Sandwich.
"Some stores in Cleveland and Minneapolis experienced a temporary shortage of the Impossible™ Breakfast Sandwich, however, we can confirm that they have been restocked," the company said in an email.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
If you are unsure if your local Starbucks has been hit by the temporary supply shortages, consider contacting your location to see if they have your favorite items in stock.
