Back to the topic of 1912 Pike Place Starbucks, I dropped by on Tuesday the 14th. I took a couple of pics, and for fun, here are a few of them:
That is the front of the store, along Pike Place. Though it’s not obvious, I stood there for at least a solid five minutes waiting for a moment of no foot traffic going in or out of the store! I have always said, there’s no such thing as a bad picture of 1912 Pike Place. It’s always a beautiful photo.
I ordered a mocha with Cubano shots, and stood at the bar area watching the barista work. I find watching a manual espresso machine to be enchanting! I snapped this random picture as I stood watching the bar barista in action.
One of my favorite baristas was working when I dropped by last Tuesday. Shelly was at the register. I think she has been there for a lot of years! Anyway, I always like seeing her. She makes jewelry as a hobby, and if you want to visit Shelly’s Etsy page, click here.
Hope you enjoyed this visit to 1912 Pike Place Starbucks with me!
This is not an open thread. Each comment should represent one entry. Only one entry per person.
Good luck to you! I always cross my fingers for everyone!

Wow, I haven’t seen that logo in quite some time. This past weekend I spoke with a customer in my local Starbucks that was on the hunt for the old city coffee mugs now that the You Are Here mugs have rolled out. There were four on display as decoration behind the counter that did not stay on the shelves a second longer after she spotted them. She quickly asked the barista to ring them all up. Before she left, I had to ask her why buy so many of the same mug and she revealed that she was a collector of the Starbucks city mugs…she never uses them, just collects them as decoration in her kitchen. However, she planned on keeping two of the ones she scored and selling the other two. Ha!
Well, let it be known that if I win this old Sbux logo reusable cold cup, it will not be up for sale, nor will it just sit on my shelf. I’ll use it all Summer long. 🙂
I’ve shared one of your articles about food options at Sbux on twitter.
So far so good. Lots of great entries. I have a feeling odds of winning won’t be too terrible. I should clarify that the re-usable cold cup is not old – it just uses the old logo. The Starbucks at 1912 Pike Place sells all kinds of totally unique merchandise which is only available at that store. I bought one from the 1912 Pike Place Starbucks, and I will throw it in the mail to the winner.

Happy to share on Facebook, Twitter & G+ (HootSuite is a wonderful thing). 🙂
Hey! That is a really cool cup. I’m still hoping that Starbucks creates a Charleston, SC mug but can definitely use one of those until then. 🙂
I shared on Google+. Glad that one is gathering some steam.
What a cool giveaway! I was down at Pike Place Market the other day and couldn’t get near the door – long lines! It’s fun that something so local has become very international. Just another winning Seattle company where creativity and hard work has launched it into the stratosphere!
I re-pinned one of your great photos of the Pike place store!

I can’t wait to get to visit Seattle again and see this location when it’s slow! It was insane the amount of people who were there when we went compared to what I see in your pictures! And I’m sure it’s a completely different experience.
I shared on facebook. 🙂
Shared in Facebook. Thanks Mel!!
P.S. – I shared this of Facebook!
I shared on facebook and twitter for you and I am not even eligible to win (I live in Canada)!
I stumbled (it’s been awhile since I’ve been there).
I shared!
and f.y.i. I do NOT share Starbucks very well. 🙂 I guess it is cause i like it and when i share my cup gets emptied to fast. I will try to learn to share a little better. 😉
This will be well used if i win!
