The first ever Family Starbucks opens tomorrow, September 14th 2024, in Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo, but we got a sneak preview today. Apart from being the first ever family and child orientated Starbucks, it also has a few other ‘Japan firsts’. For example, Kids Frappuccino. It is the first branch of Starbucks in Japan to sell kids Frappuccino. They have three different flavors. Moreover, this branch introduces a new system. They have sauces out so children can top their Frappuccino, on a table at their level, with a sauce of their choice.

the only place I have ever visited Starbucks was Japan. This looks really nice. But I don’t drink coffee…
It wasn’t my thing either – until I came here! It grew in me.
