The Starbucks Coffee Gear Store is located at 2401 Utah Avenue South, 8th floor, Seattle, WA 98104. Anyone can shop at the physical store. It is open to the public, normal business hours, Monday through Friday, and closed on holidays.
If you are a partner, you can access the online Starbucks Coffee Gear Store. (The online Coffee Gear Store does not ship to addresses outside of the United States.)
I’ve been asked a couple of times ‘Why do you write about the Coffee Gear Store?’ There are lots of reasons! I genuinely like fun, Starbucks logo merchandise! It’s fun to see what they have to offer. For a while, they had #2 pencils with the logo – super cute. Also, there are plenty of readers in Seattle who might like to visit, as well as readers who plan a vacation to Seattle! I need to update this 2013 article on Starbucks vacation things to do in Seattle, but still to this day, now and then I’ll get people who tell me that they came to Seattle and worked through most of that list! Another good reason to write about the Coffee Gear Store is that thousands of partners have access to the online site – they might not be aware of new things, and since their selection is constantly changing, it can be fun to point out new merchandise.
During my trip to the Starbucks Coffee Gear Store, I noticed a new jacket (with the Starbucks wordmark on the back of it), a new key chains, new messenger bag, and some favorites that are usually always available. I asked John, the operator of the store, what the best selling t-shirt is, and he pointed out this one:
So go visit the Starbucks headquarters!
And have fun shopping at the Starbucks Coffee Gear Store! What’s on your wishlist for the Coffee Gear Store and would you want to buy any of these things in actual Starbucks stores?

I know floor space at stores varies depending on location and I am sure there are some partners not willing to add retail to a store, however, I think it might be a good move given there is only one store and it is on the west coast. Wish list? A SB jacket, nice tee shirts or sweat shirts and perhaps greeting cards with the coffee stamps on them.
@purple1 – If you look at the kind of merch that used to be on Starbucks retails walls – all the way from the early 1990s to about 2007, SO much of what the coffee gear store has would fit in. I think a lot of it would sell. It’s funny but notebooks/ calenders used to be a staple at Starbucks stores!!
I love seeing the types of things that they have on offer. When I visit Seattle I’ll have to visit it!
I’m really glad I was able to visit the Starbucks store during my visit last month.
Fun fact: John is from the city in which I work! HA! He even lived in the city I grew up in. 😀 If you don’t think the world is a tiny, tiny place, you’re wrong!
I love the cell phone case! I used my iPhone 4 case all the time but have since upgraded to the 5s 🙁
I like the mugs in one of the first few photos too 🙂
