Omotesando B-SIDE (表参道B-SIDE店)


This Starbucks store always has an amazing
chalkboard drawing of their special seasonal drinks.

Apple cider isn't a typical fall drink here in Japan
but I always crave it once it starts to get chilly.

This Honey Apple Punch was literally
the apple cider we never had.
So so delicious.

Passion Valencia Tea

Another afternoon at this Starbucks store.

Tried the chips for the first time and it was really good.
Would be perfect for a spontaneous picnic!

Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku (東急プラザ表参道原宿店)


Back at this lovely Starbucks store again!

My good friend Andrew was in town
so a couple of us got together here to catch up.

We even had an impromptu coffee tasting together.


"Coffee machine parts reclaimed from our stores"


Andrew gave me this pretty Starbucks card made from wood!





It was so much fun tasting the new Reserve coffees
and learning about what food goes well with it.

Loved every minute.

Isn't the rooftop patio pretty at night?

Had a fun evening with my friend Jordan
at one of the prettiest Starbucks stores in Tokyo!

We both decided to try Cameroon Mount Oku.

Guatemala Antigua Finca Medina



The barista who made our drinks
was nice enough to make us a small cup of
Guatemala Antigua Finca Medina.

Jordan taught me how to compare the two.

Talking about the coffee beans
and learning about how to smell and sip.
It was actually like a one-on-one coffee tasting.

PS: Jordan is the best teacher :D

Valencia Passion Tea


We were actually there for a pretty long time.
But, you know, time flies when your having fun!

Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku (東急プラザ表参道原宿店)



This Starbucks store is located on the 6th floor of
Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku,
a large-scale retail building that just opened this spring.



Not only is this store spanking new
but it also has all the works,
including the clover.





There's also a really neat screen from ceiling to floor
with a huge siren logo on it on one wall.


There are a couple of seating areas inside the store
so it's pretty spacious.


This store also has a bakery corner and
a special sandwich plate menu
which most stores don't have.

Pumpkin Vegetable Sandwich Plate

Chai Tea Latte



One corner of the store has a map drawn on the wall
of the surrounding area where the store is.

What's also nice about this store is that
it is connected onto a roof patio.
With all the trees and shade,
it's a great spot to relax in the middle of the city.
