Ever wondered what’s wrong with Ottawa and why it has never gotten any mug? Well, I won’t be able to answer that question but I am pleased to announce, soon-to-be-released, Starbucks Been There Ottawa mug. And yes, this is the first (and definitely not the last) Canadian City (not Province) mug from BT Collection on this site. Please see two sides of the mug below and keep an eye on updates!

A BT mug I didn’t expect to be released that early has been spotted in Seattle today. As you can see from the photo, it is Starbucks Been There Pike Place mug. I didn’t mention that to you, but according to rumors, cities were only supposed to hit the stores in May. However, it looks like I didn’t properly inspect the leaked pamphlet:
Thus, Been There Pike Place Market was indeed planned for March 27 and so it happened.
An interesting detail about this one – the box is not blue as for other BTs, but orange.… Read more
I really wonder if BTs of the same color will look similar if stacked in the cabinet or shelf. I feel like Starbucks was trying to save on paint… As you can see, Starbucks Been There Washington DC mug is somewhat a sibling of Virginia BT added today as well. So the difference is in the details, I guess.
Little bit unexpected, yet pleasant surprise from Vietnam – Starbucks You Are Here Hai Phong mug. Love it’s colors! It almost made me want to collect all five Vietnamese YAHs. Interesting enough, according to Starbucks Vietnam Facebook page, you can only buy this mug at Starbucks Tran Phu, 15A Tran Phu street, Hai Phong city, but I am pretty sure in a month or two it will appear in all major airports of the country.
Hai Phong is a major industrial city and the third largest city in Vietnam.… Read more
Yet another YAH from Germany! Is it going to be as big as China? Nonetheless, please meet Starbucks You Are Here Heidelberg mug. This town on the Neckar River is known for the Heidelberg University, founded back in 1386, making it Germany’s oldest university. Only 150k people leave in Heidelberg and half of them are students. Add here numerous tourists looking for historical points of attraction and pleasant views. And that’s what they coming for:
– Studentenkarzer – university jail – yes, you heard it right.… Read more
YAH collection is continuing to expand in Europe with the fresh release of Starbucks You Are Here Geneva mug. The color scheme is pretty interesting. The front of the mug is mostly green.
– there is a red statue I can’t identify (I tried hard, trust me)
– four 15-foot-tall statues of Geneva luminaries on Reformation Wall (Mur de la Réformation)
– running shoes – for Geneva Marathon (The Harmony Geneva Marathon for UNICEF) – is an annual marathon held in May
The rest of the mug is mostly blue and shows:
– beautiful Lake Geneva – it is one of the largest lakes in Western Europe and gives you absolutely stunning views with mountains in the background.… Read more
As you probably know, many US cities will also be a part of the new collection. This is Starbucks Been There Miami mug. Is there a palm tree? Yes, a huge one. What else? Too early to say, we need real pics and not just preview. I will update this post as soon as I get anything better, guys. Stay tuned!… Read more
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of “fake news” and I am only trying to post when the mug is confirmed by real picture, however, you guys need to know what’s going on. Thanks to leaks from insiders, we do have some more previews of new mugs coming for Starbucks Been There Mugs Collection. This particular picture is not even the front of the mug, but its back. It’s not the state, but a city – Starbucks Been There Detroit mug.… Read more
Even though the quality of the photo is very bad, I am excited to announce the release of You Are Here Da Nang mug. It had been rumored last December, but there was no real photo of it! Today, Starbucks has opened a store in Da Nang and we can see new mugs on the shelf. Let’s wait for better pics in order to identify what design elements were used for the new release.
Update from 02/05/2018: added a better image where we can see:
– a cruise ship (referring to the fact that Da Nang is a popular resort city due it’s beautiful sandy beaches)
– fireworks (DaNang International Fireworks Festival)
– Dragon Bridge – a six lanes bridge over the River Hàn opened in 2013
– Hàn River Bridge – swing bridge (car traffic has to be stopped for the the bridge to swing and to allow shipping traffic to pass along the river)
It’s the first time I see two bridges depicted on one YAH and this is probably why Da Nang’s nickname is City of Bridges.… Read more
Another mug from Germany, actually 11th one, You Are Here Leipzig.
From the mug:
– Bundesverwaltungsgericht – Federal Administrative Court – one of the five federal supreme courts of Germany. It serves to resolve administrative law cases between the state and citizens (being their last resort).
– Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Völki) – Monument to the Battle of the Nations commemorating the Battle of Leipzig (1813) which ended up with the defeat of Napoleon. It was another important step done by the Sixth Coalition to end the war.… Read more
