【The Global Coffee Icon】Starbucks, a renowned global coffee chain, is a brand that almost everyone is familiar with. While not everyone may be a fan, it's admirable how Starbucks has managed to establish its presence worldwide. Transforming a simple cup of coffee into a global phenomenon, Starbucks has become a symbol of sophistication and status for many. Though not necessarily offering the best or most flavorful coffee, the allure of Starbucks remains strong.
Even with the emergence of numerous coffee brands, whether targeting local markets or aspiring to go international, none can ignore Starbucks; it is often seen as a benchmark for success. Its roots trace back to the Pike Place Market in Seattle, where the first Starbucks store still stands today. It has become a tourist attraction, a must-visit spot when exploring Pike Place Market. In essence, not visiting the original Starbucks in Pike Place Market is akin to not visiting the market itself (assuming one has a fondness for Starbucks).
Starbucks has undergone logo changes over the years, but the original logo can still be found at the Pike Place Market store. This uniqueness makes it a prime destination for those seeking Starbucks memorabilia, as the original logo is exclusive to this location, unavailable in any other city or country.
Squeezing into the store without a cup or any memorabilia in hand seems unimaginable. Each visitor is engrossed in carefully selecting their preferred designs, with many purchasing not only for themselves but also as gifts for family and friends. If it weren't for the limitation of carrying only a backpack in Seattle at the time, without additional space for more items, I would have undoubtedly bought more than just one cup. That particular cup remains untouched and stored in a drawer to this day.
Don't assume that foreigners are reserved or always polite. Once inside, they can get as loud and frenzied as in a traditional market. Shouting to friends for preferences, talking on the phone, and calling out to the staff—it's essentially a shopping battleground! It's a race where the bold prevail; politeness doesn't hold much weight here. What's in your hands is yours, and it's crucial to double-check the amount on the receipt to avoid any surprises.
