Starbucks Coffee Toyosu Forestia Store **Location and Seating** Located on the first floor of a building, a 1-2 minute walk from Exit 1C of Toyosu Station on the Yurakucho Line, along Harumi-dori. While you'll be outside, there's a roof so you won't need an umbrella in the rain. There are two entrances. The entrance from Harumi-dori leads to the counter, while the entrance from inside the building leads to lower tables and sofa seating. If you're concerned about steps, it's easier to enter from inside the building. Some seats have power outlets. Unfortunately, there are no outdoor seating areas. **Ambiance** The store has a bright and calm atmosphere due to its good natural lighting. **Crowds** I've never had trouble finding a seat, both in the morning and evening. I think it's a hidden gem. I believe the quick turnover is due to the fact that it's in an office district and many people get takeout. On weekends, it's even less crowded because it's an office district. However, it can get busy during lunchtime. **Staff** Everyone is very kind. When I won a lucky seat, they explained it to me and said they'd never seen it before. Today, I had a hot matcha latte in the evening. Starbucks is a bit pricey, but it's delicious. I'll definitely come back to try the new matcha drink.

It's on the first floor of the building, facing the street, so it's bright. There aren't many seats, but it might be easier to find a seat than at LaLaport.

The new Starbucks in Toyosu is located on the first floor of an office building, just a minute's walk from Toyosu Station. 👍 The store is small, likely designed for takeout with half the seating dedicated to solo customers or workers. It would be lovely on a sunny day, but unfortunately, there are no outdoor terrace seats. 😅

On weekdays, the cafe is bustling with salarymen, office workers, and students throughout the day. The lines at the register can get long during the morning and lunch hours. Since the seating capacity isn't that large, I often opt for takeout instead of eating in.

Is this store okay? The staff didn't even look at us, even though there was a line of customers, and they were busy with something else. The staff who were silently handling mobile orders seemed to notice the line, but they didn't say anything and just kept handling mobile orders. And because the trash can and return area are next to the counter where you pick up drinks, it gets congested with customers waiting for drinks and those who want to return dishes. It's nerve-wracking, I'm afraid they'll bump into each other.
