Starbucks Coffee Horniman Circle
The Starbucks Coffee flagship store in Horniman Circle is the very first Starbucks that opened in India in October, 2012. Starbucks in India is a joint venture with Tata Global Beverages and it is called Tata Starbucks Ltd. I read about the opening of the first Starbucks outlet in Horniman Circle, Mumbai on internet when I was still living in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2013. I remember how excited I felt to know that I would be able to visit Starbucks, a place I feel home and relaxed, in Mumbai as well! Ever since then, I have always wanted to visit Starbucks Coffee at the Horniman Circle location. It took me a year and 9 months! Needless to say, I was very excited about the moment of putting my foot in the Starbucks in Horniman Circle for the very first time!
I have seen many photos of the Starbucks store in Horniman Circle when I searched about it. They all looked so exotic, stylish, ethnic and different from any Starbucks I have visited in person. When my friends came to Mumbai to visit, I took them to Britannia & Co. for lunch as they were interested in trying Parsi food. Then we went to Starbucks in Horniman Circle as I thought it would be fun for them to see it as well. The Starbucks store in Horniman Circle in real life was just like I had always imagined from the photos. The high ceiling makes the interior look spacious. The details of the interior was beautiful and dreamy. There are several different rooms with tables and chairs, but I did not want to disturb customers, so I did not take photos of rooms in the back. Starbucks stores in India offer a wide range of food. Some of them are only offered in India, I believe, such as Murg Kathi Wrap and Tandoori Paneer Roll, which I love. If you ever come to Mumbai and have enough time to make your way out to Horniman Circle, you must check out the Starbucks Coffee!
It might appear as if I have become a Starbucks geek since I arrived in Mumbai. The interior design of Starbucks in Mumbai seem to stand out from those in other countries to me. I find it really worthwhile to visit Starbucks in India just to look at the interior design. Here are two posts I have written and posted previously.
Starbucks ☆ R-City Shopping Mall
Starbucks ☆ In Taj, South Mumbai
I love the interior design at Starbucks Cafes wherever I go in the world. I would love to find out who designed the Starbucks outlets in India, but so far I have not been successful with finding the information online. I think they are extremely talented!
Absolutely gorgeous ! Love the post thanks for sharing ..
Thank you, Faiza. I think so, too! Thank you for visiting and leaving me a comment!
Loved your photographs, Kaho, of the exotic Starbucks in Mumbai.
I noticed that the Corporate Office for Starbucks indicates the name of their architect and they also have an area on the bottom left where you can get information from them. Perhaps they can help you.

Thank you for your comment, Susan! I didn’t realize that the Tata’s office was in the same building. It is a beautiful heritage building, too! I appreciate your reading my blog and leaving me with a comment.
