Hyperlocal Tokyo

Located on the second floor of LaLaport Toyosu, the store is relatively small and can get crowded on weekends and holidays, with a bit of a wait. However, most customers are taking out their orders (at least when I go), so there are usually a few seats available both during lunch and in the afternoon. On the right side of the store, behind the merchandise shelves, there are about five window seats. From these seats, you can see a glimpse of the sea to the left, along with green trees (it's hard to describe since it's in Tokyo Bay, haha). During the autumn and winter, the trees turn colorful, and on clear evenings, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets and illuminations. ☕ A 10-minute walk from Toyosu Station on the Yurikamome Line. ☕ I always forget my LaLaport card, but the staff always kindly asks if I have it. Thank you! 🙏 ☕ For those who want to visit different Starbucks locations, you can see the Starbucks on the first floor from the window seats. There's also a terrace with dog-friendly seating. Two years ago, a connecting passage was built within LaLaport, leading to a Starbucks on the B1 floor. According to the official website, they offer store-exclusive drinks. It's less than a 10-minute walk. There are also two other Starbucks near Toyosu Station outside the mall, allowing you to quickly accumulate points on your My Starbucks Rewards card. ～June 28, 2024～ Banana rice flour muffin and house blend for a food pairing!

I visited for the first time. There was a line from the entrance. I waited a while and ordered a melon Frappuccino. It was delicious. If you're interested, you should definitely try it.

The Starbucks on the second floor of Toyosu LaLaport is cramped, with limited seating and a lack of openness. It's not very accessible for those with strollers. I couldn't find any sense of the 'third place' concept they promote. 😰 It seems like this is what happens when you have too many stores. 🤔 There are definitely larger spaces available within the facility, though. 🙄

I recently enjoyed a cup of coffee at Starbucks. This cafe is located in a fantastic spot with a spacious interior, numerous shops, and limited vending machines, making it a popular gathering place. It's incredibly convenient to grab a coffee while on the go, offering consistently delicious coffee and excellent accessibility. I found it to be a lifesaver. Of course, the coffee was delicious, and they have a great selection of light meals, seasonal drinks, and even sweet beverages, making it a wonderful place to spend an entire day. I definitely plan to visit again!

The shop was filled with Asian foreigners, creating an exotic atmosphere. It felt like a little bit of a foreign country. Right across from the inner entrance, there was a dog cafe, a stylish cafe where you could bring your dog, and quite a few people were there with their dogs. The weather was nice, so we went outside and had coffee on the terrace. It was evening, so the illuminations along the river were beautiful. It wasn't really a date-like atmosphere, more of a family-friendly vibe. There were a lot of people with international kids who live in Toyosu. There were many children, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere.
