Embrace the Holiday Spirit with Starbucks Reserve Cafe's New Offerings

This December, Starbucks Reserve Cafe is set to delight coffee and pastry lovers alike with its latest offerings, debuting on Wednesday, December 3. Centrally located at the newly opened Starbucks Reserve Cafe Shinjuku Marui, guests will be able to enjoy the unique treat of Raspberry Chocolate Cornetti paired perfectly with the Strawberry Lavender Latte. This culinary duo promises to elevate the holiday season with a delightful new dip experience.

A Festive Holiday Dip

In a nod to Milanese coffee culture, Starbucks Reserve Cafe introduces a seasonal Holiday Dip style, allowing patrons to enhance their espresso and cornetti moments. Since its opening in September 2025, customers have embraced the unique practice of dipping cornetti into their espresso, a royal Italian custom that adds a layer of enjoyment. This December, guests are invited to dive into the Raspberry Chocolate Cornetti, which features a creamy chocolate filling topped with homemade raspberry jam.

The combination of the cornetti with the Strawberry Lavender Latte results in an explosion of flavors. The latte, infused with a gentle lavender flavor and fresh strawberries, complements the rich chocolate-filled pastry. The experience highlights a contrast of textures, with the first bite introducing fluffy steamed milk and berry notes, followed by the rich chocolate and crunchy essence of the cornetti in subsequent bites. This visually appealing creation is also aesthetically festive with its soft red hue, encapsulating the holiday spirit.

For a personalized touch, patrons are encouraged to sprinkle some cacao nibs from the coffee discovery counter atop their dip, adding a delightful crunch and chocolatey fragrance — another hallmark of the Starbucks Reserve Cafe's unique experience.
