I was browsing a number of official Starbucks Facebook pages, and noticed some great pictures. I want to pass them along!
From the official Starbucks Japan Facebook page, I found this picture – I like the Starbucks card!
Browsing the official Starbucks Thailand Facebook page, I found this photo which features a traditional “Mooncake.” I’m not sure how many regions have a “Mooncake,” but they certainly look intriguing. I would give it a try!
The Starbucks India Facebook page shows off both a Starbucks India global icon mug, and a Starbucks India Card. I love how pretty the card is!
From the Starbucks Switzerland Facebook page, there is a picture of a car and Refreshers, and the content asks you what you bring along? I want to see the rest of the car!
I really liked this photo, found on the Starbucks Russia Facebook page. I like the Kenya coffee mug! Why don’t we have this mug here? (Or, a whole series of them like that?)
I dug a bit through the Starbucks Middle East Facebook page to find this fun picture of classic Starbucks cups:
Hope you liked Starbucks Facebook around the world brought to you here! And, if you like, you can follow my blog on Facebook by clicking here.

As someone that is not on facebook, I really enjoyed this tour of the facebook pages. I too especially like the card from India. Also, like your new background, Melody!
@Purple1 – Thank you for noticing the new background. I struggle with everything that is the technical side of the blog. Since the packaging changed, the previous background that I had was outdated. This background came from the Starbucks Twitter profile. Hope others like it better too.
I love being able to come here to just get all kinds of fun facts and info. Thanks for doing the legwork on facebook, Melody. Also like your background.
@Becky E – Thank you! 🙂
I love collecting the different Gift Cards and Mugs from other places. The issue I am finding is that in the US our stores don’t keep in stock the gift cards that are for that particular city or the partners don’t know what you’re talking about. This I thought is very sad being as its something everyone loves to collect the different starbucks cards. I asked a friend of mine when he was in NYC if he woud stop into a Starbucks to get me a gift card that said NY. I knew they had them cause I have seen them from my customers. None, of the stores had them and some looked at him like he was nuts and didnt know what he was talking about. This was sad to me that those stores 1- didn’t have any and 2- the partners had no idea what he was asking for. I think we need to do a better job at keeping these in stock…People love to collect starbucks stuff, I do
@Terrie B – Thank you for the comment! If you haven’t done so already, hope you will like this article and this blog’s FB page.
I can see how it happens that store partners look at you like you’re nuts when you ask for a city card. Those Starbucks city cards are usually a limited run of them, and so the store managers cannot re-order them, or re-get them in.
Traditionally, (well, mostly) Starbucks has launched limited production City/ Destination cards in April, May or June – For example, Seattle hasn’t had a Destination Card since 2011 –

^ Those were gone fast! There have been so many new hires since 2011. I have no doubt, if you walked into many downtown Seattle Starbucks and asked for a Seattle City Card, there would be partners who would have no idea what you are talking about.
All city cards are made in limited quantities.
Good luck! If you really want a NYC card, you might want to try eBay. That’s the only place to get so many Starbucks cards now.
Thanks again for stopping by my little fan blog.
Wow, I love both those cards! So jealous. There’s some really beautiful cards on ebay from Taiwan and Japan. I’d get them if I could use them here.
Mmmm, that Mooncake from Thailand looks yummy…would really like to try the Green Tea with Red Bean Paste version! I think it’s great how Starbucks creates pastries that have traditional flavors of the countries they operate in. It’s probably wishful thinking, but it would be awesome if those regional treats were featured in the U.S. periodically.
I enjoy all of your posts but don’t always come to the website to make comments. I really loved this one and getting to see items from around the world. The India card is my favorite.
You may already know this as you seem to be ahead on Starbucks news, but the newspaper in Bogota announced that Starbucks will be opening in Colombia in 2014! I wanted to post the link for you but don’t know how. It’s on my FB page if you’d like to look.

I’ve recently starting collecting Starbucks cards that I thought were nice looking. I even asked my friend to get me some from HK and Japan when she was there a few months ago. Surprisingly she told me the cards she saw in Asia were not that cute.
Melody, do you collect different SB cards?
I enjoy seeing all the different Starbucks things. Very pretty India card – I’ll have to check out eBay now.
(Like the background, btw!)
