You can enjoy the port town view from Kobe Meriken Park Starbucks. The breezy air and coffee are very refreshing but it's not a daily use. :))

Nice setting in the park, however this Starbucks can get very busy, and very noisy. A big issue is that the measures in this Starbucks are smaller than other Starbucks. Every time coming here we notice that the cups have less drink inside than when we go to other Starbucks. For a cafe chain that is supposed to be standardised across all locations it seems very strange that they put less in the cups here. A big set of points against this Starbucks branch.

Located next to meriken park, my daughter enjoyed running around while I had my drink. Nice and clean, restroom provided.

Always friendly, great location, many different pastries, more than other Starbucks. Came here twice- yesterday and today. Always very polite staff.

Very attractive building. Side paneling on the outside inspired by fish scales, meshing well with Kobe being a port city. A good amount of seating available, so finding a place shouldn't be an issue unless you go during peak hours on the weekends. Inside is also attractive, but slightly less so than the outside and the peninsular location. Service is the same as you'd expect at any Starbucks, which is to say quite good. Overall I think if you're in the mood for Starbucks in Kobe, this is the one to check out.

Wide space with modern style building. Enjoying the coffee outside is nice also. You can feel the sea breeze. The pic are taken in evening.

Nice coffee at the port with a view of “BE KOBE”. There’s only one small toilet though.

Perhaps one of the most scenic and gorgeous location of Starbucks in Kobe city just adjacent the water front.Absolutely delightful ♥️Had the chocolate java chip frappe chino

Just a regular ol Starbucks. realy nice view of the sea, so very cool! 10/10 recomended

Normal starbucks experience in pretty nice surroundings. The starbucks is right in the harbor area and there are two floors. Sitting on the second floor you get a decent panorama of the surrounding area. Renovations going in around the cafe now so will look better when complete.

The worst Starbucks I have had the misfortune NOT to enter. A roundish design, slightly elevated on a faint promontory. Great location, design, and view - but astonishingly hard to find the entrance. There are entrances in at least three compass directions, two of which are clearly entrances, but are marked “Do Not Enter”… Although, frustratingly, one can readily see the jollity within. I made two circuits before I could find the real entrance, which looks so unfriendly that I saw several Japanese hesitate and debate before trying the door. Two Japanese families did the same as I did: gave up in anger and frustration, and walked over to another coffee shop near where the rickshaws operate. As I walk with a stick, I was especially disappointed at the uncalled for athletics. Utterly narcissistic management, too lazy to arrange access for the convenience of customers. By the way, I like Starbucks in general, and am a frequent patron. This one is an embarrassment.

Easy access from main road and huge parking 🅿️ Very helpful staffs ☺️ Gorgeous view day or night 🤩 Many seats on 1st, 2nd floor and outside 💺 Sometimes you can see a ship 🛳️ boarding and hear its horn 🎺 You can also see a ferris wheel 🎡 from here Be Kobe sign 🪧 is right close to this cafe 🍽️ ☕️ 🍵 BEST STARBUCKS I’VE EVER BEEN 🥳

This Starbucks is located very beautifully near Kobe Tower and the ocean. The architecture is very inviting and makes the place comfortable and cozy.

Very nice branch of this coffee chain. The staff and atmosphere was relaxing and kind. I was able to enjoy my time here and watch the waves and people. It was nice. Great place to relax while in the area.

Highly recommended. Fantastic location. Great view of the surrounding area. Nice ambience. A very comfortable place indeed to have coffee and snack and just relax. There are two levels of indoor and outdoor seating. The New York Cheesecake is small but delicious. The frappucino will give you the necessary sugar high for further walks around the beautiful Kobe.

Believe me, you don’t want to skip this. Even though I am not a fan of Starbucks drinks, but the matcha latte at this Starbucks (JP in general) impressed me, superbly good! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, she wrote my name with extra smiles and we had a really good conversation. She made my day trip to Kobe much greater.

Normal starbucks, 2 stories, overlooking the sea. Nice to go at sunset. Have to walk a bit to reach. There's an overpass that goes from near minatomotomachi station to the park.

Must visit for its view. The special location by the harbor. Get a drink and enjoy indoor or outdoor. Take a stroll outside to enjoy the view around . Really nice to have a Starbucks out of “nowhere” feel.

A refreshing oasis in middle of park. Unique location along park pier adjacent to BE KOBE, a popular sculpture and photo spot, and the Oriental Hotel. Two story self-contained building with sweeping view of harbor area, especially from 2nd floor. Only food service facility in immediate area. Menu as usual for this iconic store. Frappucino, however,seemed to contain more ice than usual.

This branch is one of my favorite branch of this coffee chain. It has a fantastic view of Kobe port. Located in Merikan Park which gives a very nice and relaxing atmosphere. Recommend visiting in the afternoon and spend time there at outdoor seating.

This particular Starbucks is insanely popular with a thirty minute (minimum) waiting time outside. Maybe because it is the only restaurant in the Meriken Park with a particularly nice view. Because they limit the people going inside here, finding a place to sit is easy to do. Aside from the view of the harbor, I see no reason why this place is hyped sinve there are no limited items here.

Good view in the center of Meriken Park. I love this branch. I strongly recommend.

This Starbucks is great due to its amazing location. Recommend visiting during the weekdays, as the weekends are extremely busy. Great place to sit outside and enjoy the views.
