Celestians and travelers can enjoy a quick coffee from Starbucks in Celestial Park at Epic Universe. Check out this full tour of the location and some of the products they offer.
Epic Universe Starbucks
Location
There are two Starbucks locations in Epic Universe, both in Celestial Park. A quick-service kiosk is located across from The Oak & Star Tavern. The larger Starbucks, which we tour below, is just past the park’s main entrance, next to North Star Wintry Wonders.
One of the coffee shops actually opened to employees before construction of the park was complete.
Tour
The entrance Starbucks has bright theming to match the rest of Celestial Park. There are murals across the ceiling and walls. Though this is a full-service location, there are no tables and chairs inside. A railing and stanchions create the queue leading up to a wood-paneled bar with a white counter and gold trim.
There’s more gold trim on the walls, which curve towards the ceiling. They have a scale-like diamond pattern.
Across from the counter is a cooler unit of bottled beverages and merchandise shelves.
On the back wall next to the counter is an image of a two-tailed mermaid — actually, a siren, who is also featured on the Starbucks logo. The mural depicts her in shades of blue, green, and pink. She holds out an orb-shaped lantern.
Around the siren is golden seaweed and fishy patterns. Behind her is a shining gold circle.
Light shines from between the ceiling and walls. The scale pattern continues on the ceiling, accompanied by more golden iconography. In addition to oceanic patterns, there are also stars.
Gold filigree is accented by swirls of pink and blue. The shop has an L shape, and the mural wraps around the corner around a metallic gold dome in the ceiling.
There are two registers at the counter. The menu is displayed via mounted screens in a wood-style frame with gold filigree. No special Epic Universe drinks are currently offered. It’s a standard Starbucks menu.
A pastry display case with gold trim is on the right. This is where guests will see the day’s selections, including croissants, breakfast sandwiches, and cake pops.
The kitchenette area where team members prepare drinks is blocked by transparent Plexiglass to keep the space separate from guests.
The store has large circular windows, and accent windows around the doors to maintain the rounded feel. There are two sets of doors.
There are small golden stars dotted across the walls. A shiny gold baseboard is along the bottom of the walls. Guests can get napkins and other items at a self-service station under one window.
The windows are also adorned with gold star decals. The window above the self-service station features a version of the siren mural.
The counter curves around to the back corner of the shop. There’s a break in the Plexiglass, where guests can pick up their food and drinks.
In the back corner is an emergency exit door with a round window.
Merchandise
Discovery Series Mug – $26
The Epic Universe-exclusive Discovery Series mug is white with a blue interior. The design around the outside is blue, green, yellow, and orange. “Universal Epic Universe” is in teal blue lettering against a green circle on one side.
The park-inspired designs wrapping around the mug include depictions of Toothless and Stormfly from How to Train Your Dragon. The How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk entrance portal is below the park’s name. The Pizza Moon logo is above Toothless.
The main entrance portal, including the Chronos, is depicted mainly in blue. To one side of the portal is part of Stardust Racers and the Dark Universe portal. There are smiling sun and moon images, as well as small four-pointed stars.
Near the handle are images of Dark Universe, including Frankenstein’s Monster and Dracula. Frankenstein Manor is in the background, below colorful clouds and a Starbucks cup logo. The Burning Blade Tavern is in the foreground.
The mug does not feature Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World imagery, likely because Universal does not own those properties.
The mug is 14 fl oz / 414 mL. It is dishwasher-safe and microwaveable. It comes in a blue display box.
Discovery Series Espresso Mug Ornament – $19.99
The small espresso mug has a similar design and also comes in a display box. It has a green ribbon attached so you can use it as an ornament, but the ribbon can also be removed.
It’s white with a blue interior. The same “Universal Epic Universe” text on a green circle is on one side. It has some of the same images, including the main entrance portal and Toothless.
Some images are excluded to make the design fit the smaller mug. Only Frankenstein’s Monster is pictured with Frankenstein Manor, not Dracula. The How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk and Dark Universe portals are excluded.
The Starbucks wordmark is in white on the interior. This is 2 fl oz / 59 mL. It is also dishwasher-safe and microwaveable.
