Grubhub will soon begin delivering Starbucks drinks and food to residents in Colorado, Illinois, and Pennsylvania as the food delivery service finalizes its collaboration with the coffee brand.
In a press release on Thursday, Grubhub announced its partnership with Starbucks as a way to provide customers with "the ultimate convenience."

The delivery service will start sending Starbucks products this June across the three states with a national availability later in August.
