- The matcha tea latte was delicious. - The hot water was provided promptly, which was very helpful. - It's no surprise that this Starbucks is popular, but it took a while to place our order, causing my child to start fussing. It's tough to navigate with a fussy toddler. Thank you for the meal.

This store also has a Tea menu that is exclusive to the location, which I often enjoy. The interior of the store has limited seating and is always crowded, so it's best to consider yourself lucky if you find a seat. There are outdoor seats at the back of the store with outlets, so you can charge your smartphone.

Visited at 7:50 am on Sunday. Planning to ride the Seishun 18 Ticket on the Hachiko Line. First stop is here to grab a coffee before transferring to the express train. They have a good selection of TEVANA products, but I opted for a quick coffee since I have a transfer to catch. The interior is bright and open, creating a nice atmosphere. I ordered a drip coffee, iced, in a short size.

On this day, after spending the morning in Shibuya (refer to the previous two posts), I moved to Kichijoji in the afternoon. It's just a 20-minute ride on the Inokashira Line, making it very easy to get from Shibuya to Kichijoji. It had been a while since I visited Kichijoji, and I mainly visited commercial facilities and shops near the station, bought some clothes, and looked around. After that, I came to this Starbucks store (I didn't go to Inokashira Park on this day, it was hot, so I smiled). I still have an online gift card that I received as a credit card continuation benefit, and this Starbucks store near Kichijoji Station was less crowded than others, so it seemed like a good choice. The store in Kirarina is a bit different from others, as it mainly focuses on tea-based drinks and is a rare store with only a few locations nationwide (according to the staff). Perhaps because of that, there were many drinks that I wasn't familiar with at a regular Starbucks. I ordered the Earl Grey Classic Tea Latte, and she ordered the Matcha & Crushed Almond Milk. When we tried them at our secured seats, the aroma of the tea was outstanding, and it was very delicious. I'm not sure if this comparison is correct, but it felt like a tea drink a couple of notches above Coca-Cola's "Teaology." Well, I really like Teaology, so I'll mention that, haha. I also tried the Matcha & Crushed Almond Milk, and this drink also had a great balance of matcha flavor and the crunch of almonds, making it very tasty. This store is located in the commercial facility "Kirarina" directly connected to Kichijoji Station on the Inokashira Line. The interior of the store was very calming, with an open feel and a warm wooden decor, creating a cozy atmosphere. I definitely need to come back here. Thank you for the meal.

From 4/26, a Frappuccino®️ that is only available at 9 stores nationwide! The stores are as follows: - Starbucks Coffee Roppongi Hills Metro Hat/Hollywood Plaza Store - Starbucks Coffee Kirarina Keio Kichijoji Store - Starbucks Coffee Ebisu Garden Place Center Plaza B1 Store - Starbucks Coffee LUCUA 2nd Floor Store - Starbucks Coffee Grand Front Osaka North Building 1st Floor Store - Starbucks Coffee LaLaport EXPOCITY 1st Floor Store - Starbucks Coffee Toyama Marutto Store - Starbucks Coffee Amu Plaza Hakata 2nd Floor Store - Starbucks Coffee Koshigaya AEON Lake Town Kaze 2nd Floor Cafe Plaza Store There are only 3 stores in Tokyo, and even including Koshigaya Lake Town, there are only 4 stores in the Kanto area. Most likely, it won't last until after Golden Week, so I decided to stop by while I was out and about. The Kirarina Keio Kichijoji store was right by the Keio Inokashira Line ticket gate as expected. There was a quick glance around, and all the seats were taken. I decided to get a takeout and head to the entrance. To my surprise, there was a long line of nearly 30 people. Seems like everyone is after this Frappuccino®️. The store was packed, and everywhere in this area, you can see people with this Frappuccino®️. After about 20-30 minutes of waiting, I finally reached the register. The order was already decided, and the payment was done in seconds. I went to the pick-up counter, and there was another long line. The space inside the store is quite small, so waiting in line here was more stressful. However, the staff were like monsters in terms of their flawless teamwork and operation. I received my drink in less than 10 minutes, thanks to their efficient service. During this period, the staff are working so hard that they could probably earn double the hourly wage of other stores without anyone complaining. The staff were all smiles, which was impressive. Even when I received my drink, they thanked me for ordering the new item. The staff at this store are truly amazing. I stepped outside and found a space in the crowded area in front of the station to enjoy my drink. The taste was... I asked for no lid because I was going to drink it right away, but you need to be careful when ordering any Frappuccino®️. The cream is soft, so it might spill when tilted. It's also dangerous as the cream can collapse over time. At the bottom, there's peach panna cotta, followed by Earl Grey-flavored Frappuccino®️, and topped with cream. When sipped through the paper straw, the peach panna cotta at the bottom comes first. It's sweet, with peach fruit chunks that taste delicious. Then the Earl Grey tea leaves add a slightly bitter taste, transforming the flavor completely. The Earl Grey part is quite low in sweetness, and the normal panna cotta disappears quickly, so it's recommended to pay extra for more panna cotta if you want to enjoy the sweetness and panna cotta more! The container size remains the same, so if you increase the panna cotta, the Earl Grey part decreases. When I tried the normal one, I felt that increasing the panna cotta would make it more delicious. Without it, the panna cotta disappears quickly, and the taste becomes bland. This product is likely to sell out quickly, and it's almost impossible to buy without waiting in line. The popularity is such that it could end at any time, so I recommend going early if you want to try it!

First visit to TEAVANA! I had the Raspberry & Sakura Allure Tea Frappuccino. It's pink and cute, with flavors I like, so I wanted to try it. I was wondering when it would be gone, but it's still available in early April, which is great. It's a sweet and sour blend of cherry, hibiscus, rose, mango, and Yame tea, with lychee juice, raspberry & strawberry pulp sauce, and raspberry-flavored whipped cream on top. The whipped cream is delicious. Despite being a frappuccino, it's quite refreshing with a sweet and sour taste overall, and it was delicious. I wanted to create a bit of an atmosphere, so I asked the staff if they could prepare it in a glass if I were to enjoy it in-store, and they kindly did so. Enjoy the special feeling! The seating inside is limited, so it's difficult to secure a seat, and it's not clear where to wait for a seat to become available. I wanted to sit inside, but since there were no available seats, I chose a seat outside where I could see the station platform. There are outlets available here. Even though trains pass by, the noise is not bothersome.

I ordered a Japanese Chai Tea Latte for 650 yen and a Chocolate Cake for 520 yen at TEAVANA. The Chai Tea Latte had a unique spicy flavor that was different from the regular Starbucks chai I've had before. Personally, I found it easier to drink and worth the price due to its larger size and satisfying taste. It was hot and really warmed me up. I missed out on the Chocolate Cake that was available in February, so I was lucky to try it this time. The cake was large and had a dense texture, not too sweet but just right. There are still many other unique menu items at TEAVANA that I would like to try.

Raspberry & Sakura Allure Tea Frappuccino is limited to only 3 stores in Tokyo. It has a tropical flavor with a refreshing tea taste, making it easy to drink despite being a Frappuccino. After looking it up, I realized it's a combination of lychee, hibiscus, and rose, which makes sense. Although cherry blossoms are out of season, I still want to drink it as the weather gets warmer. The TEAVANA store's interior and staff uniforms have a limited-edition feel and are lovely.

I visited TEAVANA for the first time, and I found out they also have a branch in Roppongi. The menu offers a lot of new and interesting items like Chai Latte and Houjicha Latte, which all look delicious. This time, I ordered the Raspberry & Sakura Allure Tea Frappuccino, a seasonal limited edition item, along with a favorite Sakura donut. The Frappuccino was cute with its pink cream and had a strong raspberry flavor, although the Sakura taste was not as prominent. It was not too sweet and very tasty. The Sakura donut, as always, was delicious with its chewy texture. I usually have it every year during Sakura season, and I'm glad I could enjoy it again this year. I'm curious about other tea menu items, so I definitely want to visit again.

I love the seasonal Sakura menu at Starbucks Teavana and ordered the limited-time menu item. It had a strong berry flavor and I couldn't really taste the cherry blossom, but I was satisfied to have tried it. There was a difference in the appeal between the advertisement and the actual drink, but I personally like being able to drink Frappuccino in a glass. It's always crowded, but surprisingly not too busy around noon on weekdays.

At Starbucks, I only order the Earl Grey Bouquet Tea Latte now. It's really delicious! It's a vibrant tea latte combining bergamot-scented Earl Grey with a well-blended mix of herbs.

I was drawn in by the sign of the new Starbucks product at the entrance of Keio Inokashira Line at Kichijoji Station, and since I had some time, I casually entered. I was quite surprised by the spacious and beautiful Starbucks with more seats than I had imagined. The Joyful Medley Apricot & Mousse Tea Latte, a limited-time latte that started on November 18, 2022, is available at seven Starbucks Tea & Cafe locations nationwide. It features three characters of tea: a robust black tea, a refreshing and slightly nutty oolong tea, and a jasmine tea reminiscent of flowers. The blend also includes mango, papaya, and marigold petals, creating a rich aroma. The use of full-leaf tea results in a fluffy and warming cup, with the combination of apricot fruit sauce and fluffy tea mousse offering a refreshing and delicious taste. This latte seems like it would be popular even if it weren't a limited-time product! The store accepts payment via PayPay. Check out my blog for more restaurant reviews: https://zan3tho.com

■Visit Date: October 14, 2022■Received Item: T Strawberry Passion Frappuccino■MEMOI pondered over a different menu category than usual and tried the T Strawberry Passion Frappuccino. It is a colorful frappuccino that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a delight to savor a taste that I don't usually experience. The shop has a long counter seat at the back, creating a comfortable atmosphere for solo customers.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/

I visited a TEAVANA store without any prior knowledge. It was actually my first time at a TEAVANA store. I ordered the Yuzu & Citrus Lavender Sage Tea for 650 yen. It was more refreshing and delicious than my usual Yuzu Citrus Tea. The counter seats by the window were right next to the platform of JR Kichijoji Station, which was a prime spot for a train enthusiast like me.

I knew that Starbucks had changed to specialize in tea, but this was my first time visiting. The tables had changed, and on the opposite side of the register, there were tables lined up in a row with their backs to the glass. Outside the door, towards the tracks, there were counter seats lined up in two rows. I ordered the following: - Yuzu & Citrus Lavender Sage Tea for 650 yen I requested it without syrup in a tall size only. The 2nd floor of the flagship store in Nakameguro is a Teavana, but the menu is different, so this drink can only be enjoyed at Roppongi Hills and here in Tokyo. The refreshing aroma of the iced tea, with a hint of jelly and candied yuzu peel mixed in, was very enjoyable.

The entrance was hard to find, but I managed to visit because I wanted to try the matcha drink limited to this store! I paired it with a matcha scone. I have tried matcha drinks at various stores, but the matcha flavor was strong and impressive, just as expected from Starbucks. ♡

A classmate gave me a LINE ticket for my birthday! I rarely go to Starbucks and usually only drink coffee, but I used to enjoy Frappuccinos in the past. I looked it up online and decided to try the "Iced Tropical Mango Passion Tea" at the Kirarina Kichijoji store. The staff recommended changing it to the Citrus Lavender Sage Tea, which is apparently a favorite among the staff. The recommended staff member was very friendly! It cost 705 yen, which is quite expensive. I usually prefer beer, but I was happy to drink plenty of passion fruit in this tea. It was really delicious! The store has seats facing the JR platform, but it can get hot as there is no air conditioning. It's a good choice for those who don't like sweet drinks. It was so tasty! ♡

I became a Teavana fan, so I decided to come here. I already knew Teavana from Roppongi and Roastery Tokyo. The Starbucks in front of the Inokashira Line gate has seats where you can see both the JR platform and it's an interesting layout. However, they seem to be pushing mobile order pay, which can be a bit of a hurdle for first-time Teavana customers. How do I order? What should I do? It seems like people are queuing up at the register while consulting with the partners, just like in Roppongi, causing lines to form. Eating in is best when you have time. It's hard to find seats though. Despite having the Atre store and the station front store nearby, it's not great to see people working remotely here, given its location between JR and Inokashira.

I visited the new TEAVANA by STARBUCKS in Kichijoji because I heard it opened recently. I wasn't sure what to order, so I went with the seasonal Tropical Mango Passion Tea (595 yen). It looks really pretty. The taste is a nice balance of fruity sweetness and acidity. It's refreshing, different from just juice. Also, there are mango and passion fruit bits at the bottom, so it's delicious to sip them up with the straw. It's nice to try something a little different from the usual STARBUCKS. It was delicious.

Kichijoji has a lively atmosphere. I went around midday on a weekday, so the crowd was mainly students and young people. The music was loud and the place was noisy, but that's to be expected given the target age group. I ordered a latte with wasanbon sugar, and it was delicious. It seems to be a limited edition item at this store, but I hope it becomes available everywhere.
