Although there were no tables available in the cool air conditioned inside, we decided to get a Cappuccino and sit outside. Although it was 31c outside, we were in the shade and there was a nice cooling breeze. It was interesting to people watch, especially some of the girls with what by Western standards would be quite outlandish dress. The Cappuccino was good.

Great location. Easily accessible. Tends to be very crowded. Best to buy a drink and enjoy it while you walk along.

Standard Starbucks cafe menu and layout. Somewhat limited seating. The staff seemed helpful and patient, as they assisted an elderly customer. Dine-in seating arranged for social distancing including plexiglass barriers between counter seats. Conveniently located below Hankyu Sannomiya train station near the West exit and within a short walk to JR Sannomiya Station as well as entrances to the Kobe City Seishin-Yamate subway station. Outside seating also available. Relatively newly opened in April 2021, according to another customer’s review. May be very crowded during warmer weather and on holidays due to its central location.
