Just months ago, the world’s largest Starbucks opened in Tokyo, Japan. The store differs from your typical Starbucks in not just size, but also what it offers. Called the Starbucks Tokyo Roastery, the store includes four floors, a variety of exclusive coffee drinks, and even a cocktail bar. The world’s largest Starbucks is heaven not only for avid coffee drinkers, but also tea lovers and anyone who has a bit of a sweet tooth. In addition to the coffee drinks and cocktails, the Starbucks has a bakery that serves fresh pizza and bread. Still, the coffee and alcohol are unsurprisingly where this place stands out, as the drinks are not only fresh but also unique.
If you’re hoping the drinks here will make its way to America, or even other Starbucks in Tokyo, you’re likely out of luck. Most of the drinks there are exclusive to the Starbucks Roastery in Tokyo.
