Not everyone drinks iceblended or frapps. I personally don't touch any coffee that's sweet.

And yes Starbucks coffee is pretty shitty. At the same price range (in Singapore), there are way better ones (with chains/franchises as well) like Jamaican Blue, Jewel Coffee, etc.

It was hard for me as a first timer to find decent coffee in Japan without resorting to the canned coffee in vending machines. Yesterday went to kinokuniya and found books with a list and short write ups of a lot of standalone coffee places in Tokyo and Kyoto respectively. Kiv-ed some and gonna visit in my next trip!

Starbucks is milk with a tinge of coffee.

in my opinion, the brewed coffee from any combini is delicious and affordable too!

I like Doutor too. Found the coffee to be really 'smooth' and I end up drinking 2-3 cups a day..

I had Boyds coffee in a local Jap restaurant in Sapporo Susukino.
It's very good.

Always wonder how could temperate countries
be 'famous' for chocolate or coffee ?
Tokyo 'famous' for Tokyo Banana ?

These seeds & bananas are not local .

Any good source of whole beans to share? I usually stock up at Kaldi.

the only country where starbucks is still surviving is probably like singapore and taiwan. i see so many people in starbucks. which coffee is no good at all.

agreeing on lawson's coffee is affordable and not too bad! sometimes those cafes by the train station with breakfast sets is not bad also!
