Been There Christmas – Seattle
Here’s the another Christmas mug – Starbucks Been There Christmas Seattle. Again, it pretty much looks like the regular one, except being black and white. The first Starbucks store, a.k.a. the Pike Place Starbucks store, a.k.a. the Original Starbucks, which opened it’s doors in 1971, is presented on the front of the mug. The design of the store hasn’t change since and serves as touristic attraction nowadays, while being fully operational. While the Original Starbucks is always overcrowded, it is really hard to resist the temptation of coming inside and ordering a cup of coffee or buying a mug.… Read more
Been There Ornament – Vancouver
Starbucks Been There Ornament Vancouver is the forth Canadian ornament from the new series and the last so far. It is sad that no minis have been released for Provinces yet, but I still believe this will happen at some point.
This ornament has green string and these symbols:
– Whale tail and killer whale – for whale watching in Vancouver area
– Ferry – my understanding this is for ferries to Vancouver Island and other adjacent islands.
– Seaplane – is the best and easiest way to explore wonders of Beautiful British Columbia.… Read more

You Are Here – Ras Al Khaimah
Starbucks You Are Here Ras Al Khaimah mug is dedicated to one of the emirates in UAE. What I find very interesting, is the fact that, Ras Al Khaimah consists of two parts, not connected to each other. It turns out this is true for some other emirates in UAE. … Read more
Been There Ornament – San Francisco
I does look like Starbucks hasn’t released as many city BTOs as city BTs, but hopefully there will be the second batch soon. Starbucks Been There Ornament San Francisco is one of those released already. From the mug:
– The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, that’s where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. This bridge is probably one of the most recognizable symbols of San Francisco.
– The Dungeness crab – is a type of crab specific to West Coast of North America – a must try when visiting San Francisco due to its sweet and tender flesh.… Read more
Been There Ornament – Houston
Here’s another mini mug from Texas, this time it’s Starbucks Been There Ornament Houston. The color palette is green and brown while string is green. What do we see here:
– Magnolia City is one of the earliest of Houston’s many nicknames.
– a horseshoe – referring to ranchers
– an oil rig – since the economy of Houston is based primarily on the energy industry, particularly oil
– Houston City Hall – constructed during 1938 and 1939
I would like to specifically mention the Starbucks cup, which is supposed to be found on each of the mugs from Been There series.… Read more
Been There Ornament – Atlanta
Starbucks kept my favourite cassette player on Been There Ornament Atlanta, previously seen on the full size mug. The color of the string is orange.
As a reminder, BT Atlanta was one of the six mugs with error, see this post. I really doubt Starbucks has made the same mistake again, but, let’s wait for more pics to confirm that.… Read more
