Cafe review

I’ll introduce about STARBUCKS COFFEE. I work in Starbucks coffee. STARBUCKS is very famous coffee shop. These are all over the world. STARBUCKS was land for about 10 years ago in Tokyo “Ginza”. This is first shop in Japan. In Kumamoto built in 5 years ago. Kumamoto’s first shop is in “New-s” and “PARCO”.
These shops opened at one time. “STARBUCKS COFFEE”, this name’s origin “Moby Dick”. It is very famous and old book. Starbuck is fisher man appear about in this book. Starbuck was really like to coffee. And this logotype is mermaid in Greek myth. She name is “Seiren”. Seiren has very beautiful singing voice. So she used it and very many people killed. This is legend. Starbucks coffee wishes for “please drunk with coffee flavor to all….” So, decided name and logotype Starbucks coffee by these.

My favorite menu is “Green tea cream frappuccino + espresso shot” with cinnamon role. These are very delicious!!! Green tea frappuccino is very sweet… but change bitter taste addition to espresso shot. I drink it, I cheer up. Cinnamon role is very soft and sweet. I like the best food in Starbucks coffee. If you come to Starbucks coffee, Please try it at once!!
