I’ve always wondered what it would be like to work as a Starbucks barista. Getting to hang out in a cosy Starbucks store all day and fulfilling beverage orders seems like it would be a whole lot of fun. Plus, you’d get first dibs on all the latest drinks and merchandise to hit the shelves.
Starbucks’ latest collection, The Starbucks Culture Collection, is all about a day in the life of a barista. The cold cups and tumblers feature colourful illustrations of the different elements of a barista’s day.
Let’s take a look at the designs!
First up from the left is the 12oz cold cup, $18.90. Standing front and centre is an illustration of a rosy-cheeked girl with a bob haircut.
I’d imagine this scene is from the point of view of a Starbucks barista: Greeting a regular customer—I’m going to call her Stacey—who has a penchant for striped t-shirts. Every day, Stacey comes in and is greeted by a hearty “Welcome” from her favourite barista. Stacey doesn’t have to recite her order because the barista knows it off-hand by now. Behind Stacey is a Starbucks shelf with all the paraphernalia you would usually see in the store, featuring cups in all colours, shapes and sizes.
The cup has a black lid and a mint green straw to match Stacey’s mint green top.

Our pal Stacey makes an appearance on the second cold cup design (centre) as well. This time, she is in a white and blue striped dress, a red beret and black ballet flats. Stacey seems to be a bit of a Francophile, so it’s only fitting that the cup also features a croissant. On top of that, you can spot a muffin and different kinds of coffee cups, as well as a milk jug and measuring spoon set.
The cup has an orange lid and black straw, with the Starbucks logo on it. It retails at $29.90.
Last but not least, we have the stainless steel tumbler (right). This time, the Starbucks barista is the star of the show. Wearing the Starbucks apron over a yellow top and pants, he is holding onto a Starbucks cup, dishing out beverages to customers across the counter. The argyle pattern from the first cold cup is repeated here, along with a mug of coffee with latte art on top and another cup.
The tumbler has a white background, black lid and the word “Starbucks” on the side in silver. It retails at $44.90.
The Starbucks Culture Collection gives us an insight into, well, the Starbucks culture. It is available at all Starbucks stores except for the ones listed on its website.
