You Are Here – Iceland

Starbucks has opened its first store in Iceland, located inside the Alda Hotel on Reykjavík’s main shopping street, Laugavegur. This marks the brand’s official entry into the Icelandic market, bringing its signature coffee experience to both locals and tourists. There is also the exclusive mug released alongside the store launch, You Are Here — Iceland. I can’t wait to add this beauty to my collection!

The unique design of the new mug captures the spirit of Iceland:

Iceland is famously home to some of the most stunning waterfalls in the world.… Read more

Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Tatooine

As I mentioned earlier, the large Star Wars mugs are accompanied by a set of ornaments. Similar to the other mini mugs in this series, the design of the Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Tatooine features fewer elements compared to the larger mugs. These new ornaments come in a set of three — Tatooine, Kashyyyk, and Geonosis—and cannot be purchased separately. What I particularly like is that the circle on the front of each ornament is a custom color that matches the color of the inside of the mini mug.… Read more

Discovery Series Star Wars – Geonosis

I almost forgot to add Discovery Series Star Wars – Geonosis to my wish list. It is the third mug from the Star Wars collection which was released on May 4th, 2025 along with Kashyyyk and Tatooine.

Geonosis holds major significance in the Star Wars franchise as the birthplace of the Clone Wars. It was on this desert planet that the first large-scale battle between the Galactic Republic and the Separatists erupted in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Geonosis is also where the secret construction of the first Death Star began and where Count Dooku and the Separatists plotted in secret.… Read more

You Are Here – Plzeň

Let’s get back to Europe, where the YAH collection is still growing! You Are Here – Plzeň is the brand-new mug for a city located in the western part of the Czech Republic. Founded in 1295 by King Wenceslaus II, Plzeň quickly became a key trade and cultural center due to its strategic location at the crossroads of major routes. The city is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Pilsner beer, first brewed in 1842 at the Pilsner Urquell Brewery, which revolutionized brewing worldwide.… Read more

Discovery Series – University of Hawaii

Discovery Series – University of Hawaii is the second mug from the Campus Collection that I’ve recently come across. It seems that Starbucks is continuing its trend of releasing mugs for universities that previously didn’t have any. It is very important to note that the box is custom for all the mugs from this collection. There is also “campus collection” writing on the bottom, along with the picture of a mortarboard. Stay tuned for more releases of this kind!

The University of Hawaii was founded in 1907 as a land-grant college and became a full university in 1920.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Italia

Along with an updated mug for the capital city, Starbucks has also released a new version of the country ornament! A brand-new design was spotted in stores, and it appears to be replacing the previous one. You Are Here Ornament – Italia uses the name Italians actually use for their country. Interestingly, I haven’t seen the larger mug yet, but I’m sure it’s coming soon.

The name “Italia” has ancient roots, tracing back to the Greeks, who referred to a portion of Southern Italy as “Italói,” possibly derived from a word meaning “calf” or “young bull.” This symbol, often associated with fertility and strength, may reflect the region’s pastoral richness.… Read more

You Are Here – Roma

Starbucks has released an updated version of the mug for the capital of Italy: You Are Here – Roma. You can see a comparison of the two mugs below; they are identical except for the city name. Roma is how the locals say it — a name as timeless as the city itself.

Speaking of names, here are some of Rome’s most iconic nicknames:

– The Eternal City
Roma is known as The Eternal City because its legacy spans thousands of years, from the rise of the Roman Empire to today’s bustling capital.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Warsaw

Just when I thought I was done with my YAH ornaments collection, a friend sent me a picture of a mini mug I didn’t recognize. It took me a second to realize – it’s a brand-new release! I even had to check the calendar to make sure it’s 2025 out there!
As you can expect, You Are Here Ornament – Warsaw is a complete copy of the bigger mug that was released back in 2018. This is a common practice for this collection.… Read more

You Are Here – České Budějovice

The Czech Republic is getting a new release from the beloved YAH series. You Are Here – České Budějovice is a mug for a historic city in the South Bohemian region of the Czech Republic, which is also known as Budweis. Founded in 1265 by the Přemyslid king Ottokar II, it developed rapidly due to its strategic location at the confluence of the Vltava and Malše rivers. The city was granted the privilege of a royal town, boosting its trade and cultural significance.… Read more

Discovery Series Star Wars – Kashyyyk

The second mug from the recently announced trio is the Discovery Series Star Wars – Kashyyyk. What I like about these is that the circle on the front of the mug has a custom color, depending on the planet. It is, unfortunately, not the case for the state and city mugs – they all have the same dark green color circle.

Kashyyyk, the lush, forest-covered homeworld of the Wookiees, is one of the most iconic planets in the Star Wars galaxy.… Read more
