You Are Here – Romania

It is now confirmed that Starbucks You Are Here – Romania has been released along with Christmas Edition mug. This one has popping colors with the flag of Romania standing out, which is a vertical tricolour of blue, yellow, and red.

To be honest with you, I find myself disappointed with the lack of free space in Starbucks stores quite often.… Read more
