To sign Starbucks, form an '8' handshape with both hands, where your middle fingers touch your thumbs and your other fingers are extended. Hold your hands in front of you with palms facing each other. Flick your middle fingers against each other a couple of times.
Sign 'Starbucks' before the sign for 'coffee' to specify the brand. This helps clarify exactly where you are planning to get your drink.
Sign 'Starbucks' and then point to the person you are asking. Remember to raise your eyebrows at the end of the sentence to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'Starbucks' followed by 'where'. Furrow your eyebrows while signing 'where' to show that you are asking a wh-question.
