You Are Here – Cambridge

Starbucks You Are Here Cambridge is an interesting release in a sense that a mug from this series, with exactly the same name, was already released in the past. Make no mistake, it’s not the new version of the existing mug, this is the brand new release for a different city with the same name. Therefore we have a mug for Cambridge, US and a mug for Cambridge, UK.

You Are Here Ornament – Vienna

You Are Here Ornament Vienna is a complete copy of the bigger mug that I reviewed some time ago. Interestingly enough, while that release was the second edition of the full-sized mug for this city, there was no ornament for the first version. I really wish there were two variants of the ornament as well, however it doesn’t seem to be happening.
The color of the string is dark red or maybe the shade of purple.

You Are Here – Belgrade (Београд)

Starbucks You Are Here Belgrade mug is the first from this series to use non-Latin letters for the title. We’ve seen local variants of the names before, but never Cyrillic. I think the reason Starbucks decided to use that option is that in Serbia, both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets are officially recognized and widely used. This unique characteristic reflects the country’s historical and cultural diversity. The Latin alphabet, also known as the “Latinica” (латиница), is predominantly used in everyday life, including signage, official documents, and digital communication.… Read more

The color of the string of the Star Wars Dagobah Ornament matches the inside color, as usual. The box is shared with two other ornaments: Hoth and Bespin.

Its first notable appearance was in “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back” when Luke Skywalker, seeking to master the ways of the Force, embarked on a journey to this remote world.… Read more
