Baby Milo x Starbucks Reusable Cup in Korea: How to Get It Before It Sells Out
Starbucks Korea rarely does quiet collaborations.
When the Baby Milo x Starbucks reusable cup was announced as part of the “Sweet Hour with Baby Milo” promotion, it immediately caught attention. Baby Milo — the signature character from A Bathing Ape — paired with Starbucks feels like a crossover between coffee culture and streetwear collectibles.
And because it’s limited, timing matters.
What Is the Baby Milo x Starbucks Korea Event?
This collaboration is running as a limited promotion at Starbucks Korea stores.
From 2PM to 8PM daily, customers who purchase one of the designated event beverages (Grande size only) will receive their drink served in a Baby Milo reusable cup (473ml).
The event runs until February 25.
Once the daily allocation is distributed, the promotion for that store ends for the day.
The cups are available in two versions:
Pink
Brown
Colors are distributed randomly, so selection isn’t available.
Limited Quantity Per Store
Each participating Starbucks store has approximately 40 cups per day.
That number may vary slightly depending on location, but in general, supply is limited.
Because of this, some stores see customers arriving before 2PM to queue.
When Is the Best Time to Go?
Arriving around 1:30PM is a safe strategy.
When I visited at 1:50PM, there were already around 15 people ahead in line, which means a noticeable portion of the daily allocation was already accounted for before the event officially began.
If visiting a busy area, going earlier increases the chances of securing one comfortably.
Weekdays are generally calmer than weekends.
How the Promotion Works
The process is simple:
Order one of the designated event drinks (Each individual is limited to four).
The drink is served in the Baby Milo reusable cup.
The cup is yours to keep.
Eligible drinks include:
Red Rose Chocolate (Hot/Iced)
Earl Grey Vanilla Tea Latte (Hot/Iced)
Vanilla Cream Cold Brew (Iced only)
Grapefruit Honey Black Tea (Hot/Iced)
Starbucks Strawberry Latte (Iced only)
Other beverages do not qualify for the promotion.
First Impressions of the Cups
The design is playful but clean.
The cup features repeating Baby Milo graphics wrapping around the body, with a centered “BABY MILO STORE x STARBUCKS” label.
The pink version feels brighter and more eye-catching.
The brown version feels more neutral and understated.
Both are 473ml (Grande size) and lightweight.
They are not suitable for microwave or dishwasher use, so they function more as a collectible reusable cup rather than heavy daily drinkware.
The Queue Experience
The atmosphere before 2PM feels calm but purposeful.
People are aware of the limited quantity, and most are there specifically for the collaboration cup.
Because each store only distributes around 40 per day, lining up earlier helps avoid uncertainty later in the afternoon.
The line moves quickly once 2PM begins.
Is It Worth Getting?
For Baby Milo fans or Starbucks Korea collectors, it’s a fun piece to own.
For those who enjoy limited seasonal collaborations in Korea, it’s a memorable release.
Even if not collecting long term, it’s a cute reusable cup with a playful design.
How Long Does the Event Run?
The Baby Milo x Starbucks Korea event runs:
Until February 25
Daily from 2PM to 8PM
However, if the daily quantity runs out before 8PM, the promotion ends for that location for the day.
Planning ahead helps.
Practical Tips
Visit on a weekday if possible.
Arrive around 1:30PM for better chances.
Avoid peak shopping districts if flexibility allows.
Be open to either color.
Because stock is limited per store, timing makes the biggest difference.
Final Thoughts
The Baby Milo x Starbucks reusable cup in Korea is one of those short seasonal collaborations that blends coffee culture with streetwear nostalgia.
With limited daily quantities and a fixed event window, it’s best approached with a little planning.
For anyone already visiting Starbucks Korea during the promotion period, it’s a charming collectible to add to the shelf — especially for Baby Milo fans.
