I thought I would share with you a few of the many photos that have been emailed to me recently. Hope you like this glimpse of Starbucks all over the world:
From Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, one reader sent in a few photos of her neighborhood store. What a cute little store! She says great things about this store – apparently, in Lake Geneva, there is only one Starbucks:
A reader in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, sent in these photos – this store hasn’t been open very long! The grand opening was November 26, 2012, and the photo showing the line is from opening day. As I am told, this store stays very busy. The reader is a partner who loves Starbucks, and has long-term goals of eventually working on Starbucks design. Here they are:
From Peru, a few interesting photos from Trujillo and Cusco Starbucks in Peru. I thought the syrup photo was interesting!
In addition, I can always say that it’s interesting to have a glimpse at the food offerings in the pastry case in international Starbucks.
Last but not least, from Canada, I thought this was great looking chalkboard art:
Hope you enjoyed this addition of from the mailbag! Thank you to the many readers who emailed me! (If want to reach me, please see the instructions in the right-side column of this blog. I really am sorry, but I cannot promise to use every photo submitted to me! Thanks again!

Like the chalk art. Certainly, the store in Lake Geneva has more charm than ones around here. And again the international stores are as have been said before designed with more style. Thanks for sending the photos to Melody. I am sure you have a lot more pics from readers waiting to be shared!
The Peru board looks interesting!! Can someone tell me what is a “Manjar Blanco”?
That seems to be something local or specific for Peru.
I always love seeing chalk board art! I have such awe for drawing talent as I have none 🙁
Hey! Those were the Lake Geneva pictures I sent in! =D That’s not really my local store, though. 🙁 My local stores are nice, but not that picturesque. Lake Geneva is a resort town about an hour away from me that I’ve been visiting about once a week lately. I think their Starbucks is worth photographing, as they have a very pretty patio area and a fireplace inside.
Melody, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to follow up on your email question, but life has been super crazy!! I’m glad you liked the pictures, though. Did you happen to get the picture of the mug I sent you? I thought it was really “artistic” and up your alley.
Sebastian, those are my pictures from Peru. Manjar blanco is this really wonderful caramel-type sauce that’s a very popular regional flavor. It’s a lot like dulce de leche, if you’ve ever heard of that. One of the best treats I discovered in Peru were the churros that street vendors sold at night, piping hot and filled with manjar blanco!
Since it was autumn when I was in the country, back in May and June, they were promoting autumn drinks, specifically classic, chocolate, and manjar blanco cappuccinos!
The Lake Geneva store is a cute one. It looks very “Lake Geneva”, resort town filled with shop after shop after shop! I don’t think they really need more than one Sbux….there’s also one in Lake Delevan, (WI) which is only about 15-20min away. I go to the one in Delevan when I’m up there….have a place on that lake. It’s really nice to go to their Sbux because even tho it’s fairly busy, it’s very cozy and just more ‘laid back’ than all around the Chicago area. Will have to take pics when I go in about 2wks.
Denise R – Is the Lake Geneva store quiet in the off season? Would look forward to seeing your pics of the Delevan SB store – sounds like a great store to hang out in. Enjoy your vacation.
Great blog series! I like seeing photos of Starbucks decor from around the world. That little window in the upstairs Peru Starbucks is just darling; I would try to snag that seat every time I visited if I lived there. I agree that having a glimpse into the international food offerings is interesting and contend that Japan probably has some of the best I’ve seen.
I’m pretty sure we had that syrup poster some time ago in Australia.
