Original Starbucks (Pike Place Market)

The store at 1912 Pike Place is the original Starbucks location opened in March 1971 as Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spices and remains a popular tourist destination at Pike Place Market. The shop operates with historic branding and frequently displays the company's early logos and memorabilia; long customer lines are common. While the company has grown into a global chain, this location is often cited as the company's first retail store.
