Princi: Starbucks' Italian Bakery

Authentic Italian Bakery Cafe at Daikanyama T-SITE

In 2018, Starbucks invested in Princi - an upscale Italian bakery started by Rocco Princi. Princi is now operating in several Starbucks Reserve Roasteries worldwide, with one of its few standalone outlets located at the Daikanyama T-SITE in Tokyo. The Daikanyama outlet is currently Asia’s only independent Princi store.

Princi Daikanyama T-SITE is the bakery’s first standalone retail outlet in Japan. Local coffee fans were first introduced to the authentic Italian brand at the Princi counter at Starbucks' own Reserve Roastery in Nakameguro, several months before the Daikanyama branch launched. Princi currently operates in only 7 countries worldwide, Tokyo and Shanghai being its only Asian locations.
