I went to Starbucks Coffee No. 1 in Seattle, founded in 1971

Starbucks coffee is now a huge coffee chain with 18,000 stores worldwide, but the first store that opened in Seattle, Washington, USA in 1971 has been designed differently than other shops, and in Seattle sightseeing spots It is said that it is becoming. Because I had a chance to visit Seattle, I asked Pike Place store which is the first store of Starbucks.

The address of the Starbucks Pike Place store is "Pike Place Market 1912 Pike PlSeattle, WA 98101"Pike Place MarketIt is located in the immediate vicinity.


When I arrived in front of the shop, people like tourists were taking a commemorative photo shoot.


It is not the current Starbucks green logo, but appears in Greek mythologySeirenThe whole body of a mermaid with two tails is drawn. It seems that this is the logo at the beginning of our founding.


"STARBUCKS PIKE PLACE SPECIAL RESERVE" only for Starbucks Pike Place store, mug, tumbler were also displayed on the display.


I tried to visit the shop after the sunset, but the shop was one after another. Because there are no seats inside the shop, there are many people who drink coffee standing and drink coffee in front of the shop.


Although the inside of the store is slightly narrower than ordinary stores, the ceiling is high and I do not feel the narrowness very much.


A mug cup and a tumble limited to the head office are sold inside the store.


Many people buy limited goods etc. as souvenirs.


When looking around inside the store, art created by coffee beans is exhibited near the ceiling of the entrance as the mascot "Rachel" at the Pike Place Market.


There are cardboard etc in the place where customers can see, the interior is slightly miscellaneous feeling.


A map on which the origin of coffee beans is drawn is also affixed.


There was also a plate showing the first store.


The menu table is handwritten with chalk and is full of handmade feeling. This time I order Latte of Grande size (about $ 3.45 for about 410 yen) and Madeleine (about $ 2.25 for about 270 yen). Three sizes of Thor, Grande, Benty are basic in the United States, but it seems that you can also order sizes such as shorts and extra large trenches.


The store clerk quickly made coffee after receiving the order, and the order item arrived in about 3 minutes


Grande's latte paper cup is almost the same as Japan's design, about the same height as the iPhone 6.


Espresso beans are using the same thing as Japanese Starbucks, but since Grande has 3 shots of espresso, the impression of coffee taste is stronger than the short size in general in Japan and the tall size latte . Fluffiness of form milk is not different from Japan.


Madeleine is not sweet so much, the taste of almonds is slightly felt, and it has a soft texture finished. Because it is 3 pieces, the amount is somewhat higher.


When I was having coffee in the store for a while, I encountered a spectacle of surprise. Clerk writing size and name to paper cup ......


I threw a paper cup in the mountain.


A superb female varistor catches. It seems that they are throwing paper cups ordered as performance.


Seattle's first store in Starbucks is open every day from 6 am to 9 pm. It is one of the tourist spots, so when you go to Seattle it seems good to go to a shop.
