Starbucks in Chile

PUT DOWN THE PLASTIC

PLEASE NOTE
The stores pictured below are labeled with information that comes directly from the official Starbucks web site. The only alterations I have made are to remove certain punctuation marks. Please report any naming errors directly to Starbucks. Once they fix the error on their end, my database will pick it up. However, if you know any of the opening/closing dates I am missing, please send them to me.


Vina del Mar
	OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 16 September 2009 This store, the first outside of Santiago and built in a former house, preserves a bit of a homey feel and sports a decor a cut above that of your usual Starbucks. The store has a second story, of course, and a marbled stone staircase that adds an unusual touch. Also made of stone are the smaller tables. Upstairs there is an outdoor terrace, perhaps one of the few places in a Starbucks anywhere where you will find smoking (though I'm not sure it was technically allowed). Regrettably, the store is too far from the beach, about a quarter mile, to offer a seaside view. homey, two story, stone tables, stone steps


Agustinas Bandera, Santiago
	OPENED: 01 August 2007, PHOTO: 12 September 2009 This store, the first I visited in Chile, also happens to be the largest (unless you count Isidora's patio) with three stories.


Alonso de Cordova Vitacura, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? October 2004, PHOTO: ? September 2009 On top of its pretty exterior, this store, built in an old house, has a rather homey feel. Talk the wooden staircase to the second floor and you will feel like you are back at grandma's house.


Alto Las Condes, Santiago
	OPENED: 01 January 2004, PHOTO: 13 September 2009


Apoquindo, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? May 2004, PHOTO: ? September 2009 Though closed on the weekend, come Monday morning this store becomes a haven for businesspeople--there must have been at least half a dozen meetings underway when I visited.


Callao-Sanchez Fontecilla, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? June 2008, PHOTO: ? September 2009 This store, built in an old home, offers the customer a quiet patio in back where one can escape some of the street noises and listen to the birds sing (Winter loves him some bird noises).


Camino de Asis, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? December 2005, PHOTO: ? September 2009


Ciudad Empresarial, Santiago
	OPENED: 29 September 2008, PHOTO: 14 September 2009

Isidora, Santiago
	OPENED: 21 August 2003, PHOTO: 12 September 2009 The first store in Chile!


Isidora Magdalena, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? June 2008, PHOTO: ? September 2009


La Concepcion, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? July 2008, PHOTO: ? September 2009 This store is unusual because it has a second floor that is discontiguous with the first--you must go outside to find the staircase leading upstairs.


La Reina, Santiago
	OPENED: 06 June 2008, PHOTO: 15 September 2009 I would not say that this store, whose name means "The Queen", is as large as a castle, but it is certainly one of the largest in Chile, offering the customer plenty of seating choices indoors, upstairs, and also both indoor and outdoor patios.


Luis Pasteur Lo Curro, Santiago
	OPENED: 14 December 2006, PHOTO: 14 September 2009


Mall Arauco Maipu, Santiago
	OPENED: 14 January 2008, PHOTO: 16 September 2009


Mall Florida Center, Santiago
	OPENED: 07 March 2009, PHOTO: 15 September 2009


Mirador del Alto, Santiago
	OPENED: 06 December 2008, PHOTO: 13 September 2009 You can see a hint of mountains in the background of this photo, but regrettably the view from the balcony is mostly occupied by a highway.


Nueva Costanera Ursulinas, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? October 2008, PHOTO: ? September 2009


Nueva Las Condes, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? November 2007, PHOTO: ? September 2009 This store has a back door that I suspect allows acces to the office building, but when I visited on a Sunday that door was locked.


Parque Arauco, Santiago
	OPENED: 01 January 2004, PHOTO: ? ? 2009 Actual visit on September 12.


Pedro de Valdivia, Santiago
	OPENED: 05 November 2007, PHOTO: 12 September 2009 Hmm... can I say this store has three floors? Well, not really, because the "second" floor is just really a half-story up, and it is not really a whole floor. It's more like the ground floor is split-level.


Plaza Vespucio, Santiago
	OPENED: 01 January 2004, PHOTO: ? ? 2009 Of the first 31 stores in Chile, this might be the worst, from the perspective of not getting caught by security for attempting to photograph it. The guard standing on a platform outside the store this particular day did not say anything, but my visit could just as easily have turned into a difficult experience.


Portal La Dehesa, Santiago
	OPENED: 05 December 2003, PHOTO: 13 September 2009


Providencia, Santiago
	OPENED: ?? October 2005, PHOTO: ? September 2009


San Carlos de Apoquindo Las Condes, Santiago
	OPENED: 03 October 2004, PHOTO: 13 September 2009 Excluding the mall stores, this is the most American of the stores I saw in Chile, especially because of its sharing of the building with the gas station, something I have rarely seen outside of North America.
