Starbucks “1st & Main” Debuts: Watch the First Episode and Meet the Cast

An extroverted bear who finds a creative outlet as a #starbucks store manager after years trapped in an office job. A beaver contractor who likes to fix problems and fancies himself the “mayor” of his favorite store. A hipster barista cat with a man bun and a compulsion to bring an artistic twist to everything he touches.

They’re Julie, Chet and Diego, respectively, and they’re part of the regular cast of “1st & Main,” the first-ever animated series from #starbucks, debuting December 16. The kick-off episode, “Baby Names,” follows two porcupines in a prickly situation as they try to name their future child, with a dose of inspiration from baristas calling out customers’ names written on #starbucks cups.

The lighthearted comic series was created by veteran comedy writers Joel H. Cohen, John Frink and Rob LaZebnik and #starbucks. The inspiration is real-life customers and baristas at a store in Los Angeles. 

The animated shorts run 75-90 seconds each arrive weekly at starbucks.com/1standmain through January 20, with a special Valentine’s Day episode in February. The episodes are set in a Starbucks® store where customers and baristas interact in ways that will feel familiar to anyone who’s ever engaged in a bit of people watching.
