• The story of this coffee

  Named for our first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, this coffee is served fresh every day in Starbucks cafes around the world. A smooth, well-rounded blend of Latin American beans with subtly rich flavours of cocoa and praline, it‘s the perfect brewed coffee- a consistently delicious cup you can really look forward to. Enjoy the spirit of Pike Place in every sip.
• Behind the design

  The bag celebrates our history, while staying grounded in coffee- coffee plants are interspersed throughout. Recognisable images from Starbucks storied history in Seattle’s Pike Place Marker are composed with motifs in the style of travel luggage stickers and badges. Copper hues come to life for a warm, metallic effect.
