Starbucks Daizawa 5chome

Always busy is this fancy looking Starbucks. Oh no, actually, it’s not just a regular Starbucks, but a fancy schmancy Starbucks that goes by the name, «Inspired by Starbucks».
I don’t really understand the name, it definitely look much better than a regular Starbucks but more like a chilled out and cool café so I don’t know how it can be inspired by a big coffee chain but whatever, it’s a nice place to hang out if you like to look good and pretentious.
Yes, I may be a bit harsh but it’s only because I don’t think Starbucks makes good coffee, however, this shop is a good concept and so coffee aside, I like how their pastries are made in house and they have lots of interesting events in the shop.
On a regular basis, they have coffee seminars, coffee art lessons and it is also used as a venue for small art exhibitions, live bands and even patchwork classes.
Now that’s what I like about this place. Very local-​oriented indeed.
The coffee is a little expensive and not what I would recommend but they do serve alcohol and fresh pastries. There are seating outside too so you can bring your puppy and rest with a book if you manage to find a seat.
