The first store to feature a café serving Starbucks beverages was in Springfield, New Jersey, in 1993. Since then, most stores have been amended or constructed specifically to feature a café serving Starbucks beverages, Harney & Sons or Tazo Tea, FIJI Bottled Water, bakery goods from The Cheesecake Factory, candy from Godiva Chocolatiers, sandwiches and other specialty products. Although the cafés are owned and operated by Barnes & Noble, servers follow Starbucks ' standards in beverage preparation. The Barnes & Noble membership card is accepted to receive a discount on any café related goods. Starbucks Rewards and gift cards are not accepted at Barnes & Noble cafés.
