Starbucks Stamp Uncle ☕️ [Fukuoka City Higashi Ward Edition] — Starbucks in Chihaya and Kashiihama, nestled in the sea breeze and a new town —
~Coffee time in the sea breeze and a new town~
At the eastern edge of Fukuoka City, Higashi Ward,
Kashii, Chihaya, and Hakozakiare lined up.
New residential areas and commercial facilities have been added to the traditional townscape,
and it continues to grow even now.
This time, I will introduce stores in this Higashi Ward
that I hadn't written about yet.
I visited Gardens Chihaya, which opened last year, right after it opened when it was extremely crowded,
so I couldn't take any photos.
On the other hand, I had been visiting the Aeon Mall Kashiihama store
,quite often even before the Starbucks app started
.However,
when I looked for photos on my smartphone,I was surprised to find absolutely no photos at all
🫢
This time,I revisited them on a weekend in Novemberand enjoyed
“a cup for my daily life”at each one.

A store with a drive-thru located on the premises of the commercial facility“Gardens Chihaya”.
The Starbucks mark is not visible
The Starbucks was in the building next to this one
The interior hasabout 80 seats and a ceiling height of nearly 5 meters,creating an open space where light pours in from
the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Wood-grain tablesare well-placed, making the morning coffee time especially pleasant.
With many preparatory schools nearby, students studying, local apartment residents, families with children, and many cars using the takeout service,
it felt like a “regional hub”
.The staff's greetings were bright, andthe warmth that makes you think “I want to come again” was impressive
.This is a store with a drive-thru attached to a commercial facility.
I understood the meaning of the nearly 5-meter ceiling height
The art on the left and right is also soothing
Last time, I walked around looking at various tenants and paid an excess fee
