What is the street address of the original Starbucks store at Pike Place Market?

The street address of the original Starbucks store at Pike Place Market is 1912 Pike Place.

Starbucks was founded in Seattle on March 30, 1971, by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker. The founders were inspired by Alfred Peet and initially focused on selling high-quality coffee beans and coffee-making equipment rather than prepared drinks.

A common mix-up is 2000 Western Avenue. That was the company’s first location, where Starbucks operated from 1971 until 1976. The store moved one block to 1912 Pike Place in 1977, and that Pike Place location has remained in continuous operation. This is why 1912 Pike Place is the canonical address for the “Original Starbucks,” even though the company’s earliest storefront stood elsewhere.

The Pike Place store is also notable for retaining the early Starbucks mermaid logo, a design distinct from the simplified green logo used at most modern locations.
