Today, I continued my walk tour to the rest of the Starbucks. Due to the limitation of time and being unfamiliar with Pudong Area, I only visited 4 of all the 5 Stores in Pudong. They are:
The pictures and descriptions are consolidated to yersterday’s page.
It was really cold in Pudong and there are not many people. There are barely no customers in Mori Tower Store and Times Square Store. In contract, Bin Jiang Store is always crowded – it is said it has the best view in all Starbucks around the world. Is it true?
As a matter of curiosity, where is the 5th one in Pudong which you didn’t visit?
Jianshuo, would you happen to know at what time the Super Brand Mall Starbucks open in the morning?
WilliamW:
The fifth one is the Nikko Store at the intersection of Dong Fang Road and Pu Dian Road.
You can find business hours of the stores at http://202.101.18.140/starbucks/newsletter20/info-hzpd.html
From the list, you see the Super Brand Mall Starbucks opens between 10:00-22:00
Many Thanks for your helpful pointers, Jianshuo!
But you really shouldn’t be replying to blog comments at 2:39am… :(
Have a great Monday. :)
Can you post some photos of the Bin Jiang Starbucks? Haven’t been back to Shanghai for more than 2 years, I really enjoy your updates on the beloved city. Regarding meeting and resting places in Shanghai, my favorites are Hot Chocolate and HanYuan Reading Room, Both a nice place to go, especially in a Sunday afternoon.
Isn’t there a 6th Pudong Starbucks too, in the lobby of Taiping Life Insurance Building (formerly known as Information Tower) at 1399 Min Sheng Lu, Pudong?
Ops. I heard there is a Starbucks store there but didn’t visit it. I think I should visit this store later.
I really liked your site, even before I visited Shanghai in Oct. Great work!
Starbucks should pay you money for all those work, ;-)

Hehe. If Starbucks doesn’t sue me for posting so many pictures for them, I will be happy. :-)

do you know the prices for the coffees?
It should be around 20 – 30 RMB per cup.
20-30 RMB is alot for chinese standart. anyway i am looking forward visiting those starbux in Shanghai.
PS: swiss starbux coffee are freaking expensive. e.g: a caramel frab is 7.60 swiss francs for grande. (1 chf = 6.6 RMB)…you do the math!
I just came back from a semi businness trip to shanghai, stayed at JC mandarin for a couple of days with my wife, on my last day we have a chance to go a cross the street from the hotel just walking around when suddenly the weather turn a little bit dark followed by wind and chill wind blowing towards us, we went to this american club(if i’m not mistaken) and trying to look for shelter and without any knowledge I saw this familiar sign of starbuck and go right in and enjoy one of the best drink at that particular moment, come to think of it I wish I am able to have that same felling again .
@Jeffry, I can feel what you felt. The Starbucks in the American Center there is very nice, and that surrounding area is also one of the best areas in Shanghai.
