This is another look at what’s new at the Starbucks Coffee Gear Store. As a reminder, there are two ways that a person can shop at the Coffee Gear Store. If you are a partner, you may shop online at StarbucksCoffeeGear.com. Anyone – both customer and partners – can shop at the one physical location on the eighth floor of the Starbucks headquarters (also called the SSC or Starbucks Support Center), located at 2401 Utah Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98134. The physical store is open Monday through Friday (closed on major holidays when the headquarters is closed) during normal business hours. It is open to the public. It’s not obvious from the street, but go to the headquarters, head to the eighth floor and you’ll find it.
I dropped by the other day and saw that they had these #2 pencils! Something about them is so adorable!
The pencils are 75 cents each. I’m tempted to go back and buy a handful just to have them.
The new Starbucks logo cycling jerseys have arrived. These are consistently a very popular item. During the winter months, the store was briefly out of them. They sell well so you might want to get one soon if you’ve got your heart set on a cycling jersey:
You’ll still find stand by favorites like Starbucks keychains and mousepads:
There are new Starbucks golf polo shirts in. They didn’t really excite all that much but here they are:
And there’s a new logo Starbucks tote bag in the Coffee Gear Store now too:
Hope you enjoyed this quick trip to the Starbucks Coffee Gear Store!

I wish they were available to everyone.
Hi Amy! I’m sorry. I know it frustrating to be tempted by cute things. I keep doing these updates though for several reasons: There are partners who read this site who may see something that catches their eye to order on the site. I have had numerous people tell me that when they planned a vacation to Seattle, they included a trip to this store. And there may be readers who are within a short drive of this one physical store.
On rare occasions, if I know I’m going to the Coffee Gear Store, I’ve picked up items and mailed them out to readers who requested specific things. The problem is that I only visit about once a month.
Im a partner in Eastern Canada and as Canadian partner we have no access to starbuckscoffeegear.com which completely sucks because we miss out on all the cool gear and swag we could have and wear during shift and out and about. Ive heard they are working on a Canadian version but I doubt it will be the same! Im planning a trip to Seattle sometime just to visit HQ and get a chance to get to the store who knows it might be your lucky day and you could bump into Howard Schultz!! 🙂 Thanks Melody for your intriguing blog! Ill be tuning in all the way here in Canada!
Melody,
I am so lookin forward to goin to the Starbucks Gear Store! I live outside of San Antonio and if it wasn’t for you, I would have never found the store least of all I would have thought it was for employees/partners of SB only. I am so ready to go and shop!

@Diann That IS awesome to hear! I hope you love Seattle and the Coffee Gear Store. This article a year old and not totally up to date but still has some good ideas:

Thank you for commenting Diann!
Melody, I really enjoy your updates about the Starbucks Gear Store. I hope to visit someday in the future. So many places to visit, so little time! I love love love the tote. Hope things with the book are going well also.
I like a great majority of the designs that come out for the Starbucks products. I agree though the polo shirts were a little meh. But there isn’t much that can be done with polo shirts – heh. I don’t know where my love of tote bags came from but it’s there and that new Starbucks tote is singing “BUYYY MEEEEEE” I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad thing that I’m in busing distance to the Starbucks Store LOL. I’m thinking if they have any mid month I’m going to be picking one up. Great pics!!
It sure amazes me how SB adds gear to the store and yet limits access to it. Thanks for the periodic updates Melody.
I keep lusting over the things on the website… then I get to the part where it wants to charge me $14 shipping for a $28 sweatshirt. Um, no.
Would love to get my hands on a Starbucks logo cycling jersey, but not going to Seattle to get one. Wish they were available online for regular customers.
I love the pencils, and the kea chains,
How do I purchase a cycling jersey? I saw the picture but it only has a front view. What does the back look like and how many pockets in the back? Who makes the jersey?
