I went to buy the new product right away as I love new releases. The staff was very friendly and asked if it was my first time here. They also recommended the new sweets to me. The sweet potato butter frappuccino was amazing. It had crunchy sweet potato chips inside, which was delicious. I wanted to order it multiple times during the limited-time period.

Strawberry seems to be the popular choice here. I got a strawberry frappuccino, while my son got a caramel frappuccino. The staff were very friendly and even recommended the limited edition peach frappuccino for our next visit. The service was excellent and we had a great impression of the staff.

It's been a while since I had it, but it's expensive and sweet, yet delicious. Visited on 2023/05/10. [Overall Rating] I would rate it 5 out of 5. Taste: ★★★★, Presentation: ★★★★★, Value for money: ★★★, Service: ★★★★, Ambiance: ★★★★. It was my first time at Starbucks in a while. I arrived at 9:30 in the morning and there were only a few people sitting. It's very sweet, but it's a taste that I crave occasionally. Thank you for the meal.

I bought a chocolate cake to replenish my energy in the afternoon. I had planned to have a warm drink in the morning, but I made a mistake in my order. I ended up with a cold caramel frappuccino on a cold day. I asked them to reduce the amount for takeout, and they also gave me a paper cup. I'm sorry for being so picky.

I visited around 6:30 PM on a weekday and ordered a Strawberry & Velvet Brownie Mocha iced tall for 590 yen through the drive-thru. The limited-time Strawberry & Velvet Brownie Frappuccino was sold out.

Even while on the move, suddenly becoming a workplace refugee. Remote work has definitely made things more convenient, but it feels like I'm even more pressed for time these days. When this happens, Starbucks in the countryside can be a lifesaver, but surprisingly, they don't have parking lots. It would have been great if there was a Komeda Coffee with parking, but unfortunately, there isn't one around here! When I was wondering what to do, I found out that this shop is partnered with Times, so I used it. If you park at Times and bring the parking ticket to the shop, you get one hour of parking for free. The Times parking here is quite expensive for the location, so getting a free ticket is really appreciated. I ordered through mobile order and when I handed over the parking ticket at the pickup location, they took care of it without me having to do anything at the register, which was convenient. It's been cold lately, so I ordered a hot coffee and did a little work. It was a good time.

At the drive-thru. Finally, it's spring! Sakura Strawberry Shiratama Frappuccino. It has hachimaki in it. It was a bit difficult to drink with a straw, but it had a refreshing taste. My son said it tastes like air freshener, he doesn't like it. I thought it was very spring-like as I drank it. I also ordered a Sakura chiffon cake and Sakura donut, the chiffon cake was really delicious. The donut was just okay.

■Visit Date: December 29, 2021■Items Received: Refer below■MEMOVisited on December 29, 2021. It seems like today will be my last visit to the Starbucks on Shijo Katsura Oji this year. On this last day of the year, the store was empty, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time.※After 10:00 AM, more people started to come in...On this day, I had a T Triple Espresso Latte, and my wife had a G Hojicha Caramel Cream Tea Latte. We were able to spend a content-filled 1 hour and 30 minutes studying for exams, reading, and relaxing.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/

■Visit Date: December 25, 2021 ■Items Received: - G Starbucks Latte (Me) - T Christmas Blonde Roast Latte (Wife) ■MEMO Visited on December 25, 2021. It was a Sunday close to the end of the year, so the store was relatively empty. Perhaps it was because exams and other year-end events had just finished. This time, I had the G Starbucks Latte, while my wife had the T Christmas Blonde Roast Latte. Today was the last day to purchase Christmas drinks. I regret not trying my wife's T Christmas Blonde Roast Latte... I hope to try the Christmas limited edition drinks next year. ■Blog https://ay-style.net/

■Visit Date: November 27, 2021■Received Items■MEMOVisited on November 27, 2021. Went in right at opening time. It was a nice day, but quite chilly in the morning. I had a G Starbucks Latte with Vienna Sausage Stone Oven Focaccia. My wife had a T Soy Latte with Master's Chicken Focaccia. Delicious! During this time of year, I always go for the extra hot Starbucks Latte to warm up my body. After filling our stomachs, we studied for about 2.5 hours for a qualification exam. It's inspiring to see everyone studying or working, and it motivates us as well. Feeling accomplished, we left Starbucks. ■Blog: https://ay-style.net/

■Visit Date: November 23, 2021■Items Received: Refer below■MEMOVisited on November 23, 2021. This is my second visit in 10 days. Today, I aimed for the opening time. I sat at a large table and had breakfast. This time, I had G Drip Coffee, T Caramel Apple Rooibos Tea, Basil Chicken & Tomato Mozzarella Stone Oven Filone, 10 Vegetable & Prosciutto Salad Wrap. I was able to secure a seat as I visited right at the opening time. I was able to study quietly and concentrate for about 2 hours. I really want to pass the qualification exam coming up in 2 weeks. I had a meaningful time on Sunday morning.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/

■Visit Date: November 14, 2021 ■Items Received: - G Starbucks Latte (Me) - T Gingerbread Latte (Wife) ■MEMO I visited this Starbucks on November 14, 2021, almost a year after my last visit. The layout of the tables had been changed, making it much more user-friendly. On this day, I had the G Starbucks Latte, while my wife had the T Gingerbread Latte. We spent almost 2 hours from 8 am studying for a qualification exam while enjoying delicious coffee. As it gets colder, I prefer my Starbucks Latte hot. It was great to be able to shift gears and make progress in my exam preparation. It's also nice to see the cups change to Christmas-themed from November, adding to the seasonal charm. ■Blog https://ay-style.net/

There are first-floor and second-floor seats, with a terrace seat on the second floor, making it an open and comfortable store. The atmosphere is good, and it gives off a stylish vibe among Starbucks stores. The "Sakura Blooming Berry Frappuccino" (590 yen + tax) is the second release for the cherry blossom season, available from March 24th to April 13th, 2021. It is rare to see seasonal Frappuccinos being sold consecutively, with the first release being the "Sakura Fluffy Berry Frappuccino" and the in-between release being the "Banana Almond Frappuccino". The Sakura Fluffy Berry Frappuccino was kept as is, with a stronger berry flavor added. Personal preference may vary, but I personally preferred the Sakura Fluffy Berry Frappuccino as it had a wider range of cherry blossom flavors.

■Visit Date: October 11, 2020■Items Received・G Starbucks Latte (Me)・T Starbucks Latte (Wife)■MEMOVisited on October 11, 2020. It was my first visit since February. We arrived around 7:30 AM, and most of the seats were already taken... I think this is the first time I've seen it so crowded in the morning since I started coming here. Probably due to the reduced seating capacity because of COVID-19. It's quiet and comfortable. Today, both my wife and I chose Starbucks lattes. My wife got a Tall, and I got a Grande. We spent almost 2 hours studying together. Starbucks remains as popular as ever.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/?p=19449

■Visit Date: February 9, 2020 ■Items Received: - G Cafe Mist (for myself) - T Cafe Mocha (for my wife) ■MEMO I visited on February 9, 2020. It was snowing since morning, giving a beautiful snowy look to Kitayama. It was a chilly Sunday. We walked from home to Katsurano-oji Shijo as usual. It was cold, so we opted for hot coffee. I had a Grande-sized Cafe Mist today. Spent about an hour reading while sitting on the sofa on the second floor. It was a leisurely time. The Starbucks was busier than usual on a Sunday morning.

■Visit Date: November 17, 2019 ■Items Received: - V60 Drip Coffee (for me) - T Kyoto Special Matcha Frappuccino (for my wife) ■MEMO: We visited on November 17, 2019, after about a month since our last visit. Yesterday, we enjoyed exploring the area around Demachiyanagi in autumn Kyoto. Today is a relaxing Sunday. We chose to sit on the second floor again. I have another qualification exam coming up on December 1, so it's study time for me this morning. My wife is engrossed in a book I recommended, reading quietly. As for our morning treats, I opted for a V60 Drip Coffee while my wife, who loves sweet things, went for a T Kyoto Special Matcha Frappuccino in a tall size. She described the rich matcha flavor as exquisite. It was a Starbucks time on a leisurely holiday morning. ■Blog Post: https://ay-style.net/?p=19449

■Visit Date: October 22, 2019■Items Received: Stone Oven Filone Ham & Maribor Cheese, V Drip Coffee■MEMOVisited on October 22, 2019. Today is a national holiday due to the enthronement ceremony. My wife went on a day trip with friends, so I'm alone for the day. I walked over to this shop after seeing her off in the morning. It seems like schools and universities are also closed, as the shop is quite empty. For breakfast, I had the Stone Oven Filone Ham & Maribor Cheese with a V Drip Coffee. I spent about 90 minutes studying for an exam while enjoying my breakfast. It's the beginning of the Reiwa era, marking the start of a new day. The weather is gradually clearing up, almost as if it's celebrating this special day.

■Visit Date: October 20, 2019■Items Received・V Cold Brew Coffee (Me)・T Cold Brew Coffee (Wife)■MEMOVisited on October 20, 2019, for the second week in a row. Arrived a little after 8 AM. Due to the heat, we opted for iced coffee. I chose the V Cold Brew Coffee, while my wife chose the T Cold Brew Coffee. We sat by the window today. The air conditioning inside was just right, especially with long sleeves on. With exams approaching in mid-November, it was a morning of studying. Lately, I've been drinking a lot of coffee, and personally, I find the Venti size just right. I might be biased, but the rich and deep flavor of the Cold Brew Coffee has been my favorite this summer.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/?p=19449

I ordered the V Cold Brew Coffee with Smoked Chicken and Mushroom, while my wife had T Drip Coffee with Apple Pie. The Smoked Chicken and Mushroom had a seasonal flavor and paired perfectly with the hard bread, making it a satisfying meal. We spent the morning studying a bit and enjoyed a leisurely coffee time. I feel like the season for iced coffee is coming to an end. It was a relaxing holiday.
