スターバックスの2025年サマーシーズン第2弾のフードメニュー — Starbucks’ Second Wave of Summer 2025 Food Menu(Japan)

Starbucks in Japan will launch the second wave of its summer food menu nationwide starting May 28.

In 2025, the summer season theme for Starbucks Japan is “HOTEL STARBUCKS.” Designed to offer a luxurious escape from busy routines and the summer heat, the concept aims to create an extraordinary space reminiscent of a stay at a special hotel.

As part of the second wave of this seasonal lineup, Starbucks will introduce the Mango Mousse Cake, along with returning favorites like the Lemon Cube Cake, Earl Grey & Orange Scone Sandwich, and Bolognese Hot Tortilla—all of which are plant-based menu items.

The Mango Mousse Cake, inspired by an Asian resort theme, showcases the seasonal fruit mango in a plant-based dessert. It features a crisp base made from crunchy granola, topped with smooth mango mousse and generous chunks of mango. With each bite, a hidden mango sauce inside the mousse melts in the mouth, offering a refreshing and light flavor perfect for the summer season. The cake is priced at 530 yen (tax included).

The Lemon Cube Cake is a refreshing, cube-shaped dessert that pairs perfectly with coffee. It features a tangy lemon flavor with a filling made from a plant-based cream cheese—crafted from soy milk and chickpeas instead of dairy—combined with a lemon jelly sauce. Finished with a glossy glaze and topped with candy sugar, it offers both visual appeal and a bright, summery taste. The cake is priced at 300 yen (tax included).

The Earl Grey & Orange Scone Sandwich features a crisp, scone-like texture with the rich aroma of Earl Grey tea and the refreshing flavor of orange marmalade. Sandwiched between the scone halves is a custard-style plant-based cream—made without eggs or dairy, using ingredients like soy cream—paired with zesty orange marmalade. This delightful treat is priced at 350 yen (tax included).

Starbucks’ plant-based products are made without using animal-derived ingredients as primary components.
