北見市「夕陽ヶ丘通り」北見工業大学の近くにあるお店 2022年7月4日にオープン 平日の朝、一番乗りで来店 昼間は学生たちでもっと賑やかになるだろうな思います。 テラスのスペースも広く、雪のない季節は気持ちよく過ごせそう

北見ハイテクパークにある日本最北端のスターバックスになります。 是非一度行かれてみてください。 北見市では2店舗目になります。 北見ハイテクパークは北見工業大学の真向かいにあることから学生さんの利用が見込めるための出店だと思います。 そのほかにも北見といえばカーリングです。「アルゴグラフィックス北見カーリングホール」にも近いのが特徴です。

ブラックコーヒーに惹かれスタバを利用するように元々、今も甘いものは好きですが、ここは格別⤴ タンブラーを年初めに買ってから、更に行く回数が増えて 客層を見ても老男若女が楽しそうにしていて、見てるだけても幸せを分けてくれている気がします グッズを眺めている私の美的意識も高まっていけばいいなとかなり、ご都合主義名品に触れれば、また世界は再び輝き出すはず 少し⤵私も色んな力を頂いて‼ いつか自分も誰かにそんな力を分けてあげられるように この前、ドライブスルーを利用しました夜も夕食の時間は過ぎていて案内の看板がしっかりしていて、迷うことはなく そこの担当してくれたバリスタの方が非常によく対応してくれましたポイントで購入したのですが、少しチケットの選び方に迷いがあった私にとても優しい方法で、損させない方法で相手の身に立ってくれたことに感謝をしつつ、また店舗を利用しようと思った初夏の夜の出来事でした 少し用事があって、この店舗にお世話になることが多かった最近の私知ったのは、このお店が3周年を迎えたこと回転が早いのか、いつもそんなには人がいない夜でした3周年を祝う入り口のドアには、特別な絵が描かれており、店内もお祝いムードしっかり接客をしていたのは、流石プロフェッショナル今回も程々にして店を出る気分転換に資格試験の勉強に励んでいたのでした中々、快適で捗ります 少し気分を変えたくて来店そこには、笑顔のバリスタ達が居ました少し気が滅入ることがありましたが、店内で過ごすうちに、思考が前向きに 夏の夕刻まだまだ厳しい暑さが続くのでしょうが、冬になれば、この暑さが懐かしく思えるでしょう嫌なことも長くは続かないし、いいことも一瞬どんな風に過ごしていても時は経っていくだから、いいことは思い出に、嫌なことは教訓に 日々、成長しながら時々振り返って自分の歩みを確かめながら歩いていきたい 旅行を終えてまたこのスターバックス通い出して割と経つのかな?だんだん顔馴染みのバリスタの方も増えてきたタンブラーにドリンクと少しコーヒーの甘いものを頂くことにここから始まったスターバックスの旅まだまだスタート地点だけれども、ゆっくりとしっかりと歩いて行こう
