You Are Here – Dijon

Posted on

There is huge news coming from France, where as many as four YAH mugs have been released for this country this week. Starbucks You Are Here – Dijon is the first of them and is dedicated to a city in the historical Burgundy region in eastern France, which is well known for winemaking.
The front of the mug shows houses with multicolored roofs known as Burgundian polychrome roofs. These are glazed flat tiles arranged in patterns. They represent the distinctive symbol of the region.… Read more

You Are Here – Trondheim

Posted on

Starbucks You Are Here – Trondheim is a mug for the third most populous municipality in Norway located on the south shore of Trondheim Fjord.

The design of the mug is very simple, showcasing the views of the city with old buildings located right on the water.… Read more

You Are Here – Luxembourg

Posted on

Starbucks You Are Here – Luxembourg is the first YAH mug for this country. Something tells me it will be the only one since this collection is being phased out. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe but is also one of the richest countries in the world as per GDP per capita and purchasing power.
The design of the mug is very laconic with few elements (apart from the city street with the old buildings):
– The Adolphe Bridge is a double-decked arch bridge in Luxembourg City.… Read more

You Are Here – Antwerp

Starbucks You Are Here – Antwerp is a mug for a city in the Flemish Region of Belgium. Here are some points of interest from the mug:
– Antwerp Zoo, opened on 21 July 1843, is the oldest animal park in the country, and one of the oldest in the world.

You Are Here – Cape Town

Posted on

Even though the release of Starbucks You Are Here – Cape Town has been delayed for two years, it is still nice to see it finally coming out. Better late than never, they say. This release is accompanying the opening of the first Starbucks store in this South African city. It was announced back in 2018, but for some reason did not happen. The store will be open to the public this Thursday, but it seems that some people were able to get this mug earlier, probably at the party for the media that was held today.… Read more

You Are Here Christmas – Ireland

Posted on

Starbucks You Are Here Christmas – Ireland is the latest addition to the Holiday mugs family. As you can see from the pictures below, the differences with the regular mug are subtle: Holiday hats and gift boxes. I would also like to point at Santa Claus’s sleigh at the roof of the house (see the back of the mug). Speaking out of my head, I don’t recall this nice little detail from any other Christmas mugs.

You Are Here Christmas – Malta

Posted on

Starbucks You Are Here Christmas – Malta is a full size Holiday Country mug. This will be somewhat hard to get since it’s an island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. You have to go all way down to Sicily and then take a ferry to get there. An easier solution can be a plane, obviously. See the regular mug and the ornament posts for more info about Malta.
I am reposting these pictures with the permission of the Facebook user.… Read more

You Are Here – Wolfsburg

Posted on

Wow, another city mug from the collection which is being discontinued. It seems that Starbucks would like to keep it alive for some time. Please welcome You Are Here – Wolfsburg, which is the 16th German mug within YAH series.
Wolfsburg was founded on 1 July 1938 as a home for workers producing the Volkswagen Beetle and is now known as the headquarters for Volkswagen AG as well as the home for Autostadt, an automobile-themed park with a classic-car museum and driving track.… Read more
