Secret Sips
The CIA's Covert Starbucks

Tucked inside CIA headquarters in Langley is a Starbucks with no sign, no mobile orders, and definitely no names on cups. Known as “Store Number 1,” it serves caffeine to some of the world’s most secretive customers.
Baristas pass background checks, are escorted daily, and can’t scribble “Latte for Agent Smith” on anything. Even the trash is monitored to avoid leaks.
The menu? Standard. The vibe? Whispered. It’s proof that even spies need their pumpkin spice.
