Mango Passion Tea Frappuccino, Venti (665). I was told by the male cashier that I can customize it to a mango-only frappe without the passion tea. Mango-only is delicious. I hope they continue to share delicious customization options at Starbucks. Thanks for the tasty information!

Just a short walk from Hamadayama, along Inokashira Street, there is a Starbucks that recently opened next to TSUTAYA. There is a parking lot available, and you can get 1 hour of free parking whether you use Starbucks or TSUTAYA. Around 9 am, there were still plenty of empty seats, including large tables where you can relax. The new Yuzu Citrus & Tea drink is refreshing and delicious. The yuzu is at the bottom, giving it an authentic yuzu flavor. This is the best drink for summer.

Visited on Sunday at 10:30 am. I aimed for a famous ramen shop in Hamadayama, but it was too early and no one was lining up yet, so I came here instead. It's a store collaborated with TSUTAYA, located along a main road with a considerable number of parking spaces secured. However, it is also within walking distance from the station. There are terrace seats along the road, but personally, I doubt if it's comfortable due to the heavy traffic. I think terraces are better along roads with only pedestrians. I ordered drip coffee, ice, tall size, for takeout.

■Visit Date: August 10, 2022■Items Received: T Iced Coffee■MEMO: With the intense heat, I found myself sweating profusely and in need of staying hydrated to cope with the tough conditions. On this day, after finishing my rounds outside, I took a brief break on my way back to the station. The shop is conveniently connected to TSUTAYA. I had the T Iced Coffee, which helped soothe my parched throat with its cold brew. As the sweat subsided, I regained my energy and set off for the next destination.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/

Drip coffee venti (451), today's coffee is from Ethiopia. One more coffee to go. There are a lot of people studying at Starbucks, so it's stimulating. The Starbucks in Hamadayama is not spacious, but it is connected to TSUTAYA. You can bring TSUTAYA books into Starbucks without being refused by the staff, read them inside, and then return them. But it doesn't feel right for me. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. The coffee is still strong and good. It tastes delicious with milk at home.

This is a Starbucks located next to TSUTAYA along Inokashira Street in Hamadayama. I visited around 7:40 pm and even though the dining area closes at 8 pm, there were still quite a few people inside. (laughs) I ordered the Tokyo Origin Coffee Jelly Caramel Frappuccino and the Strawberry Frappuccino. The Tokyo Origin Coffee Jelly Caramel Frappuccino had coffee jelly in it, giving it a nice texture with a good balance of coffee bitterness and caramel sweetness. The Strawberry Frappuccino had a nice blend of sweet and sour strawberry flavor with the sweetness of whipped cream. It was delicious.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the opening of the first store in Ginza, a special Frappuccino called the "47 Jimoto Frappuccino" has been created by baristas from each prefecture, available only in their respective regions until August 3rd. While Tsutaya is currently closed for renovations, this particular store was open. Due to the hot weather, I decided to enjoy my drink inside the store. I tried the following item (excluding tax): - Tokyo Origin Coffee Jelly Caramel Frappuccino - 620 yen This was my third Jimoto Frappuccino. It consisted of a milk Frappuccino with TOKYO roast coffee, filled with espresso roast coffee jelly at the bottom, topped with caramel sauce, and finished with whipped cream and more caramel sauce. The combination of the slightly bitter jelly and caramel made the drink delicious without being overly sweet.

I received a customized eTicket and visited the cafe. The layout seemed to have changed, but it was still full inside, so I sat on the terrace. I ordered the following items (excluding tax): - Cafe Latte Short 340 yen - Additional shot 50 yen → complimentary The coffee of the day was Pike Place Roast, which tasted stronger than the usual mellow flavor. Considering the price of adding a shot, I still prefer Cafe Mist.

* I will describe the differences in brewing coffee, black tea, and Japanese tea. It's just basic information, but paying attention to these details can make your drinks taste even better. Fresh coffee beans and tea leaves always taste better. For coffee, use fresh water, boil it, let it cool slightly, and warm up the utensils and cups with hot water before use. The key is not to pour until the last drop. For black tea, use freshly boiled water, warm up the tea strainer, teapot, and cup with hot water while waiting for the water to boil. Pour until the last drop. Even with tea bags, warming up the cup makes a difference. It's better to cover the cup while brewing. For Japanese tea, use freshly boiled water, pour it into the utensils in order to warm them up, cool the water down, and finally pour it into the teapot with the tea leaves. It may not be the most polite way, but I find it more efficient than waiting for the water to cool in a spout. Pour until the last drop. Using plenty of tea leaves for a short time extraction makes black tea and Japanese tea taste better. Using fewer tea leaves with a longer extraction time can make the tea taste bitter. Enjoy a relaxing break time at home! ~~~~~~~~~~ Starbucks announced on 5/16 that they will keep their stores in Ibaraki closed as announced on 5/8. They also extended the deadline for drink tickets until the end of August instead of June. I think this is the right decision. The lifting of the state of emergency in 39 prefectures was too early. But it was also lonely. On 5/19, Starbucks announced that they will reopen their stores in Tokyo for takeout only. Stores located in commercial facilities that are closed entirely will remain closed. So, I head out. If they've reopened, I'll go buy the cake I missed out on at the SA because my cooler bag was full. The entrance that passes through the TSUTAYA store on the parking lot side is closed, and only the entrance facing Inokashira Street is open. The social distancing markers are green, and the guard at the register is a hard material, not the flimsy ones seen in supermarkets. I felt the policy of maintaining their brand image. I got the following items (excluding tax): - Strawberry Lemon Tart 480 yen - Teavana Gift Set 1900 yen - Starbucks Card Fireworks 1000 yen I enjoyed them with the coffee that came in a lucky bag from this year's New Year. The tart got a bit messy in the box. The tart crust is filled with strawberry cream, lemon cream, topped with fruit-filled strawberry sauce, and crumble, surrounded by whipped cream. It's a good size for sharing as a dessert after a meal. The Teavana Gift Set includes a glass mug matching the one for Mother's Day and 10 English Breakfast tea bags in a mini bag. I love watermelon, fireworks, and Mt. Fuji, so I couldn't resist getting the card. I hope that the efforts made during the self-restraint period will not be in vain, and I want to continue economic activities without letting my guard down.

Nearest station: 8-minute walk from Keio Inokashira Line "Hamadayama Station" (recent station) Genre: Cafe Arrival date and time: January 2020, Saturday, 2:00 PM Number of people in line: 5 people Waiting time: 5 minutes Ordered item: White Chocolate Latte 530 yen + TAX Comment: Every time I post, I always think, "What's the point of getting it HOT?" (laughs) When it's HOT, it's hard to tell, but the white chocolate melts with warmth, and the whipped cream mixes nicely. It's not too sweet, and it's a comforting cup. Thank you for the meal!

I arrived at the cafe at 9:00 am but they had run out of cold brew, so I couldn't get any. Instead, I enjoyed a delicious Cafe Mist for 367 yen. They offer 1 hour of free parking, and the place is popular among readers. It's a collaboration with Tsutaya, but unfortunately, they don't offer T-Points.

Limited edition Halloween Frappuccino. It has a subtle sweet potato flavor but is extremely sweet. It might be better to switch to non-fat milk. It looks good, but the taste is just okay.

Just bought the new coffee milk, it's sweet and delicious!!

On a regular weekday morning, when the store opened, there were about 5 people in line. Today, there seemed to be fewer staff members, so there was a bit of a wait. It can get crowded on both weekdays and weekends, but there are also times when it's empty. Since the seating is limited, sometimes you have to give up when it's busy. It's all luck. The new item, Shot & Chocolate, is made by pouring espresso shots into a hollow and topping it with whipped cream. When you stick a fork in it, it crumbles easily. When you eat it, it's not very sweet, and the bitterness of the espresso comes through afterwards. It melts quickly in your mouth, so if you're expecting a rich chocolate cake, you might find it lacking. I paired it with drip coffee because the cake was a bit bitter, but a café misto might have been better. Still, it's a nice light snack. The staff are all friendly, and many of them are housewives, making it easy to order and use the service.

Today, I had some errands in Hamadayama, so I took a break at Starbucks Hamadayama on the way. It is connected to TSUTAYA and has a terrace, but it's a bit noisy as it's along the national highway. I missed lunch and dinner is a business meeting later, so it's a bit of an awkward timing. I ordered a chocolate cake with hot coffee as a snack. The cake was moist with a strong chocolate flavor, just like American style quality. It was still sweet, but it was just right for recharging my energy with an empty stomach and fatigue. The staff's attention to detail is always appreciated. Their little extra touch of service creates a pleasant cafe time.

The stay was very short, but the nearest Starbucks is at Hamadayama Station on the Keio Inokashira Line. The station is small with only one platform and two tracks. It's about a 7-8 minute walk from there to the Starbucks. The store is located between TSUTAYA and another store, without a space in the name. There is also a terrace seat outside, but the concrete backrest may not be comfortable. There is a Times parking lot near TSUTAYA for those who come by car. The store is surprisingly spacious, but I didn't have time to browse the books. The Starbucks inside is pretty standard. You can enter from the road side as well, directly to Starbucks without going through TSUTAYA. It's a nice place to enjoy a drink from Starbucks while reading a book from TSUTAYA. It's a relaxing spot away from the busy city. Enjoy the aroma of coffee beans and your favorite book or music at TSUTAYA Hamadayama store.

I visited the Starbucks in Hamadayama for the first time. It is located on the 1st floor of the Tsutaya building. Next to it is a coin parking lot where you can park for free if you dine there. I think the owner must be the landlord. I thought the entire floor was used for the store, but half of it is actually a bookstore. So the Starbucks side is not that spacious. I got my coffee at the counter and sat at a table. I bought a paperback book that caught my eye next to me, so I flipped through it while enjoying my coffee. The customers inside were mostly students from the neighborhood and local residents returning from shopping. It had a relaxing atmosphere typical of a holiday in Hamadayama. Thank you for the meal.

During a cycling break, I stopped at the Starbucks attached to TSUTAYA near Hamadayama on Inokashira Street. The place is bright and open with large windows, which is nice. I ordered the usual Cafe Mist tall size, which in my old man language means a large milk coffee. I learned that from my wife. There seem to be other fun menu items like something that looks like a fluffy cloud and French toast. I should ask my wife what to order next time. I finished my milk coffee and feel refreshed. Thank you for the meal.
