The Uber Eats Starbucks delivery record was just set for the highest amount of orders in Canada, and someone from Toronto takes the prize.

Uber Eats has just celebrated its one year anniversary of Starbucks delivery in Canada and the app shared some fun facts, including the most amount of Starbucks delivery orders placed in the span of a year.

This person ordered Starbucks from Uber Eats a whopping 342 times in one year. That’s nearly an order a day! It’s unclear what the specific orders were.

The largest Starbucks order placed through the app also took place in Toronto. The Peter Munk Cardiac Centre ordered numerous bagels, loaves, scones, muffins, and coffee travellers.

Despite these records, Ontario didn’t even make the top three when it came to the province that ordered the most coffee. British Columbia came in first as the most caffeinated province, followed by Alberta and Manitoba.

The most ordered beverage in the country was the Caramel Macchiato, and the most ordered food item was the Birthday Cake Pop.
