Starbucks
Fukuoka
Number two on the list is Starbucks that is located in Fukuoka, Japan. Designed by
Kengo Kuma, the architect, this is one of the most iconic Starbucks in the
world indeed. Frame Publishers stated that the design of the café is inspired
from the location, as “The Starbucks is situated on
the street that leads to Dazaifu Tenmagu, a shrine dedicated to a Japanese
deity. Kuma says he did not want the cafe to appear detached from its setting.”[1] The intersecting wooden
block on the ceilings is functioned as the ceiling support and also to give
perception as branches in the forest and give a feeling that the customer is
drinking coffee in the nature directly. The architect also said that wooden
blocks are used because it’s easy to be recycled.

1. Starbucks in Rembrandtplein Square
The best Starbucks shop is Starbucks in Rembrandtplein Square, Amsterdam, Netherlands. This shop is
located underground, on a lot that is formerly used as a bank vault (hence the
nickname for this Starbucks branch is Starbucks The Bank). On one side of the
wall there’s a mural explaining about the history of coffee in Holland. The
shop is tagged as one of the best coffee shop concept, as Frame Publishers
mentioned that the store is “Filled with only
recycled or reclaimed furnishings, local artistry and eco-friendly initiatives,
the shop is a far departure from cookie-cutter Starbucks that popped up
worldwide through the 1990s and early 2000s.”[2] The site also mentioned
that the visitors would be pampered with coffee samples at their coffee theatre
and freshly baked cookies, the manager would even tweet if the fresh baked
cookies are ready to served. The store is also meet the requirements of
sustainable building regulations by Leeds, as Frame Publishers wrote “The shop
has been built to meet Leed sustainable building guidelines; paints used were
water-based and chemical free, while low-flow faucets conserve water and LED
and CFL bulbs reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, original marble floors
(dating to 1926) were left intact, while recycled burlap sacks used for
transporting coffee were used as décor.”[3] The roof part of the shop
also shows the wooden ceilings, giving unique atmosphere.
