Kitchen at Starbucks featuring sakura-matcha doughnut and spring latte.
Drink specials- sakura saku saku (crunchy) frappuccino and sakura soy latte.
Happy weekend to you fellow hivers and members of the Cinnamon Cup Coffee community. This post is being done in response to #TheCoffeeShopPrompt.
Temperatures are still fluctuating but there were some fairly warm days this week here in Kobe. It felt like the perfect time to do without a few layer of clothes though it’s always best to keep extra layers close. The lower temperatures remind us that spring is in the air. Spring is also already in coffee shops. I got a full reminder after making a few stops at Starbucks.
Spring Collection (2023)of Mugs,Tumblers, Cups…
I stopped by the shop to chill a bit. On entering and before ordering a white mocha latte with soy milk, I was greeted with the spring collection of cups, mugs, tumblers and notebooks. There was coffee too, of course. Though not a collector of the items, I could honestly start seeing the reason people “go out of the way” to get or collect them. Though I haven’t caught on, admittedly, they are really kawaii (cute) and the designs are just lovely. I’ve always been impressed with the variety and uniqueness of designs that Starbucks Japan offers each year and for the different seasons.
Spring Collection 2023
Loving the embossed sakura though I’d probably prefer a different shade of pink.
The coffee displayed included, cold brew, spring blend, coffee from Ethiopia, Guatemala and El Salvador.
Pastry 🥮 🥐
Pastry specials-sakura and matcha doughnut/donut and sakura chiffon cake.
Google translation of the pastry specials.
Scones, pies, cinnamon rolls and doughnuts were among the pastries displayed for sale.
After viewing the collection and glancing at the pastry, I looked for, found a seat and used a small packet of tissue to indicate that that table was taken. I got in line and ordered a white mocha latte with soy milk. I’d usually order a chai tea latte but now occasionally get a white mocha. It was refreshing and just what I needed for a little down time. Even the cup was in “spring attire”. It was a great way to enjoy coffee while anticipating all that comes with my favorite season of the year-spring.
White mocha latte with soy milk
What was you favorite coffee or beverage for this week?
Thank you for reading my post. Please share what’s happening in coffee shops in your area or where you are traveling.
Have a wonderful weekend. 😃
I lie yeah google translate using the picture. Never thought to use that for post. Starbucks popin up like convinis this side and they always full. Never tired the white mocha before. Will have it a try next time.
Thanks man. I just recently started using Google translate for the photos. It makes explanations easier. Lol
It’s sometimes really hard to find a seat in Starbucks. I always wonder what it’s like to have a coffee shop next to a Starbucks. The crowd goes there. Other shops feel it. I’m now even seeing more Starbucks products in conbinis and at supermarkets. The white mocha with soy milk works for me. If you’re a strong coffee drinker, you may need to ask for an extra shot. I hardly ever have coffee otherwise. It’s usually tea.
Those spring themed mugs look gorgeous. Spring, YaY!
Love the cheerful tone of your post (you can’t help feeling cheerful with all that pink about. Hehe!) Love the delicacies on display and your latte looks delicious 😋
😃Thank you. The latte was delicious. Yes,I’m loving the mugs too. The designs and colors bring out a cheerful mood. Have a lovely weekend. 🎶
Pink is my least favourite colour, but I ALWAYS look forward t seeing Spring in Japan for all the Sakura trees. I agree a different shade of pink would have been lovely.
I admire how they promote the different seasons in Japan and incorporate them with their different coffee themes.
This is a lovely post. Thank you so much for sharing this with our prompt:)))
😃Hi Badger! I remember you.
Yes, if pink, fuchsia or rose.
I heard sakura will be out a bit earlier this year. Hoping to go out and see them.
They really do well at that. I admire it too.
Thank you and have a great weekend. 🎶
Thank you. 😃
!LOL Funny how before I read this line and seen the pictures, kawai came to mind and here I see you using that word hahahaha.
But they are indeed!
I would like the embossed one in a light blue, but I'm also not the type to keep purchasing because I only want to buy what I'll get to use often and also don't have the space right now.

Lol! That’s cool. It means they really are kawaii. 😃
Re the embossed one, if a give-away, I’d take it as it is. Lol!
If purchasing, certainly a brighter pink or possibly red (though they probably wouldn’t have red for spring).
