On April 20, Starbucks Taiwan opened the new 90 Dongqiao 8—Tainan store, located at Par K* Avenue, Yongkang District, Tainan. Inspired by the mythical Starbucks Siren, the store's design creates a unique space that serves as both a home for Starbucks partners (employees) and an oasis for customers, providing the perfect environment to nurture the limitless possibilities of human connection.

The store showcases a one-of-a-kind design concept. Drawing inspiration from nature, it features beautifully layered arches that extend from the columns, creating an uplifting atmosphere. As you explore further, the spacious curved ceiling houses a warm and welcoming bar counter complemented by a textured wall that evokes the serene beauty of a forest, accompanying you on a delightful coffee journey.

The mural artwork behind the comfortable sofa seats is a beautiful creation by local artist LEHO. It portrays the Starbucks Siren encircled by coffee branches and leaves, the sea, and Tainan city’s iconic bird, the pheasant-tailed jacana. Paying homage to Tainan, the beautiful artwork adds an extra touch of charm to the experience at the store.

In celebration of the 90 Dongqiao 8—Tainan store opening, Passion Fruit with Mango Jelly Cold Brew, a new beverage exclusive to the store was introduced. Featuring local Tainan mangoes, this unique non-alcoholic cocktail is crafted using tea and coffee, along with mangoes in a base of green tea and fruit juice, releasing a sweet aroma with both refreshing and rich fruit notes.&nbsp; Lastly, the cold brew and tangerine aftertaste make for an ideal finish, thick and rich, taking the palate on an adventure while immersing in the atmosphere of the 90 Dongqiao 8—Tainan store.

An exclusive “Starbucks Glittering Assorted Cookie Gift Box” was created especially for the 90 Dongqiao 8—Tainan store. It features a green gradient design and metal lines that accentuate the store’s distinctive architecture. 

The 90 Dongqiao 8—Tainan store also introduced exclusive merchandise. The design of 12-ounce mug depicts an elegant urban oasis, combining three-dimensional artistic lines of ocean waves with alluring natural colors. The mug is finished with a hand-painted gold handle in lake green with a hint of gold. The texture on the 24-ounce cold cup is paired with a three-dimensional green gradient design, creating a sophisticated style and intricate texture. With the design of its three-dimensional lines representing ocean waves, and its elegant grindstone pattern fusing artistic style with quiet texture, the 16-ounce tumbler sets the tone for creating a delightful coffee experience at Starbucks.

Today, Starbucks Philippines proudly opened the Abad Santos Tondo Community Store, in celebration of its 25th year in the market and its unwavering dedication to creating positive impact in communities it serves. The Community Store is dedicated to supporting youth education in the Philippines, where a portion of every purchase in this store will enable scholarships and after-school learning programs in partnership with Young Focus Foundation and AHA! Learning Center.

“Starbucks has always been a different kind of company, staying true to its mission to nurture the limitless possibilities of human connection,” says Noey Lopez, president of Starbucks Philippines. “Through this first Community Store in the country, we hope that this is the start of creating a positive and lasting impact on the youth within our local communities.”

The Abad Santos Tondo Community Store in the Philippines joins more than 200 Starbucks Community Stores around the world to strengthen communities, support economic opportunities, and create impact through partnerships with local nonprofit organizations.&nbsp;

<strong>Empowering one mind at a time</strong>

Young Focus Foundation extends scholarships to out-of-school youth through its network of partner schools and universities. Presently, they have two centers located in Tondo and Cavite, offering support to more than 1,000 students, and guiding them from elementary school through to college. Starbucks is committed to expanding this support, empowering out-of-school youth to pursue their education at both high school and collegiate levels.

“Starbucks doesn't just serve coffee but also serves the community of Tondo through education. We look forward to this special partnership with the first Community Store in the Philippines. This is an amazing investment for the youth to reach their potential,” says Paul van Wijgerden, Managing Director of Young Focus.

Meanwhile, AHA! Learning Center is dedicated to offering free after-school learning programs to public school students, focusing on areas including academics and social-emotional skills. Currently, they operate from a community center on Radial Road 10 serving over 180 learners spanning various age groups. Starbucks will expand this initiative, providing additional opportunities for more learners to benefit from AHA! Learning modules and continue their after-school programs.

The store opens up inviting spaces for hosting future workshops, fostering both learning and connections. In addition to a full café, the area features a series of murals entitled, "Brewing Knowledge, Blossoming Communities," by visual artist Anina Rubio. The series beautifully intertwines elements of books, indigenous flora and fauna, and the diverse wildlife from coffee-growing regions, seamlessly blending with the store's interior. &nbsp;The exceptional artwork symbolizes how education serves as the catalyst for individuals to rise to new heights and achieve their aspirations.
