STARBUCKSOMOTESANDO B-SIDE My cousin collects Starbucks gift cards. So whenever I go on a trip, I try to buy gift cards for her. Unfortunately, Starbucks cards in Japan, only work in Japan, so I had to spend the rest of the money before I left. I was in Harajuku on the way back to the hotel and stopped by this Starbucks on Friday, April 15th around 11:15am. The minimum amount you can load on each gift card is ¥1,000 yen. I had about ¥2,500+ yen left, so I just bought 2 Tokyo mugs for the roommate’s parents and a Coffee Frappuccino. They packaged the mugs nicely in boxes. My coffee frapp was a little sweeter than I’d like, but I’m a black coffee drinker, so anything to me is sweet. This location is a good size and they have outdoor seating. It was a really nice day, so if we had time, I would have sat outside for a bit before leaving the store. If you’re craving Starbucks and in Harajuku, this would be a nice location to visit. Very chill and low key.

This Starbucks is hidden on the outskirts of Omotesando & Harajuku. This was actually the first place that I took my future wife for a coffee date ;) It is one of the prettier Starbucks shops in Tokyo. The place is beautiful, with outdoor seating, a large community table, and a secluded corner with sofas and outlets as well. However, it seems to be a popular location and is always hard to find seats. B-side occassionally has it’s limited drinks as well. I had the B-side limited Hot Caramel Apple Cider.

Very lovely location! The area is fantastic, it is very idyllic to sit outside and look down the narrow street, the interior design is also quite unique(for a Starbucks). It is allowed to smoke outside.
