Starbucks Coffee Kobe Meriken Park in Yashiro

Scenic view and good vibes … too bad Starbucks has been stocking out on matcha Frappuccino lately 🙁

This branch is one of my favorite branch of this coffee chain. It has a fantastic view of Kobe port. Located in Merikan Park which gives a very nice and relaxing atmosphere. Recommend visiting in the afternoon and spend time there at outdoor seating.

The worst Starbucks I have had the misfortune NOT to enter.A roundish design, slightly elevated on a faint promontory. Great location, design, and view - but astonishingly hard to find the entrance. There are entrances in at least three compass directions, two of which are clearly entrances, but are marked “Do Not Enter”… Although, frustratingly, one can readily see the jollity within.I made two circuits before I could find the real entrance, which looks so unfriendly that I saw several Japanese hesitate and debate before trying the door. Two Japanese families did the same as I did: gave up in anger and frustration, and walked over to another coffee shop near where the rickshaws operate. As I walk with a stick, I was especially disappointed at the uncalled for athletics.Utterly narcissistic management, too lazy to arrange access for the convenience of customers.By the way, I like Starbucks in general, and am a frequent patron. This one is an embarrassment.

Good view in the center of Meriken Park. I love this branch. I strongly recommend.

This particular Starbucks is insanely popular with a thirty minute (minimumwaiting time outside. Maybe because it is the only restaurant in the Meriken Park with a particularly nice view. Because they limit the people going inside here, finding a place to sit is easy to do. Aside from the view of the harbor, I see no reason why this place is hyped sinve there are no limited items here.

This Starbucks is great due to its amazing location. Recommend visiting during the weekdays, as the weekends are extremely busy.Great place to sit outside and enjoy the views.

Very nice branch of this coffee chain. The staff and atmosphere was relaxing and kind. I was able to enjoy my time here and watch the waves and people. It was nice. Great place to relax while in the area.

Has to be the best Starbucks I have ever seen. 😂 The building sits alone with amazing 360 views of the ocean harbor, Kobe tower, Meriken park, etc. If good weather, the outdoor patio is better than going to the beach. Haha.

Its a starbucks with a nice view of the port. There are two floors, the top one gives a view of the area but there are only stairs to get up, no elevator. For entrance to the building there is a ramp which does help make it more accessible.

You can enjoy the port town view from Kobe Meriken Park Starbucks. The breezy air and coffee are very refreshing but its not a daily use. :))

The best Starbucks I’ve ever been! Astonishing design and great location (especially at night)!

very nice and relaxing surroundings.not so much people when i visited last weekend of october.

Wide space with modern style building. Enjoying the coffee outside is nice also. You can feel the sea breeze. The pic are taken in evening.

Most important things I love to have a ☕ during leisure time in place like Meriken Park. Starbucks is ready to fulfill that demand. Though there are many vandings around here to fulfill the demand, but starbucks makes it more special.

Good for inside and outside stop over to this place. Very nice view head to the Kobe port. Biking, running, dog walking then have coffee there

Nice setting in the park, however this Starbucks can get very busy, and very noisy.A big issue is that the measures in this Starbucks are smaller than other Starbucks. Every time coming here we notice that the cups have less drink inside than when we go to other Starbucks. For a cafe chain that is supposed to be standardised across all locations it seems very strange that they put less in the cups here. A big set of points against this Starbucks branch.

This Starbucks is located very beautifully near Kobe Tower and the ocean. The architecture is very inviting and makes the place comfortable and cozy.

Amazing place. First of all a great, differ ent exterior by the harbor. Secondly, the interior boasts with pleasebt music and useful utilities. Finally, it offers a great view of the harbor and nearby. A great place to work or have a 30 minutes break with a good coffee while glazing through the window on the last floor.

Super friendly staff at this beautiful Starbucks! Love the interior and the exterior design. Some outdoor seating available too.

Great view n nice music.

Great view

I collect Starbucks travel mugs, over the course of 60 some locations, Ive always had good service, and polite staff. They have snacks and coffee and souvenirs for wherever the shop is located. This shop is conveniently located near to the ferry service and the Kobe port tower

Very attractive building. Side paneling on the outside inspired by fish scales, meshing well with Kobe being a port city. A good amount of seating available, so finding a place shouldnt be an issue unless you go during peak hours on the weekends. Inside is also attractive, but slightly less so than the outside and the peninsular location. Service is the same as youd expect at any Starbucks, which is to say quite good. Overall I think if youre in the mood for Starbucks in Kobe, this is the one to check out.

A refreshing oasis in middle of park. Unique location along park pier adjacent to BE KOBE, a popular sculpture and photo spot, and the Oriental Hotel. Two story self-contained building with sweeping view of harbor area, especially from 2nd floor. Only food service facility in immediate area. Menu as usual for this iconic store. Frappucino, however,seemed to contain more ice than usual.

Not your typical starbucks. Beautiful from the outside and great views from inside, especially from upstairs.

I really impressed that how the staffs are kind and professional. I loved the seasonal limited frappuccino pudding à la mode. The view and the weather was perfect. Ill visit this branch again if id visit Kobe.:)

Visit on weekdays, it’s too crowded on weekends and service is quite slow. Not conducive for strollers as it’s all manual doors. The staff might come help open the door if they see you struggling. But the cafe is in a nice location, overlooking the sea.

nice ambiance. nice harbor view

We sat outside facing the ocean. Nice view. The building looks amazing! I like the design

Nice view from the inside of the starbucks. Directly facing the sea view.

Good view place

Staff was friendly even by Japanese standards! Seasonal drink (strawberry frapwas delicious.

It’s a beautiful place to enjoy the outside scenery.

Must visit for its view. The special location by the harbor. Get a drink and enjoy indoor or outdoor. Take a stroll outside to enjoy the view around . Really nice to have a Starbucks out of “nowhere” feel.

Great view, awful drinks

Nice harbor view

Probably the largest Starbucks in the Kansai region with a nice outlook over Meriken Park and Kobe harbour. Staff were very friendly and happy to make small talk. I ordered an extra shot in my Grande Latte but still not strong enough for my Australian taste. Three stars for the coffee and four plus stars for everything else.

Its located in the head of port park, face to the ocean and back to the port tower. So it is a good place to enjoy your coffee and watch the beautiful views. I came there in weekends, it looked like so crowed. But, dont worry that, this store has two floors and many outside seats. Many people would also take away coffees, because sit in the near grass land is another good choice.

the port is great, and people are so nice, we’ll be back againz

Very nice staff and good service, clean and big relaxing space, have Nitro Coffee to try

This Starbucks has the most scenic view I have ever seen in any one of the franchise.

Good view. Very crowded.

The most beautiful Starbucks that I never seen, really nice with a amazing view on the port
