Starbucks Korea celebrates its 15th year anniversary by building a special store in Seocho-gu right beside JW Marriott Hotel. I paid it a visit just to see how the store looks like and yes it lived up to the expectation for one of the fancier Starbucks locations.
Apparently this location is marked as Starbucks Reserve which offers the finest coffees that only available for limited times at select Starbucks stores only. Stop by for a cup of coffee if you’re around. Other than coffee, I recommend their Cheese Cake too, one of the best cheese cake I ever tasted in Seoul! But that’s a point to whichever kitchen that Starbucks partner with, I doubt it was made in house.
