Antigua means “ancient” in Spanish, and the historic pastel-hued buildings that line its cobblestone streets have stories to tell. Starbucks opened its <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2022/starbucks-celebrates-1500th-store-milestone-in-latin-america-unveils-first-cafe-in-antigua-guatemala/">1,500th store in Latin America and the Caribbean</a> in what was once a private residence dating back to the 1930s just steps from the iconic Santa Catalina Arch. The Starbucks design team restored many of the home’s original architectural features and worked with local artists and designers to showcase Guatemala’s coffee heritage and capture the artistic, warm and colorful spirit of the region. After a day of exploring the city’s beautiful ruins and monuments (Antigua is a <a href="https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/65/">UNESCO World Heritage Site</a>), relax in the store’s serene inner courtyard with a cup of locally grown <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/3/whole-bean">Guatemala Antigua</a> coffee.

Head 3,000 miles south on the Pan-American Highway and you’ll reach out next destination, the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1019831/panamericana-sur-carr-panamericana-sur-km-26-62-lurin-lima-lim-0000">Panamericana Sur</a> store near Lima, Peru. Here, you can fuel up at the drive-thru on your way to the beach or visit the walk-up window and relax under a green umbrella on the patio. It is the first store in Latin America to be built using recycled shipping containers, <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2013/innovative-new-drive-thrus/">part of a Starbucks green-building initiative</a> to save water, energy and improve air quality.

A spin across the globe takes us to the Asia Pacific coffee-growing region and the Starbucks Dewata Coffee Experience in Bali, Indonesia for an exploration into the world of Indonesian coffee. The journey begins from the moment you step through the front door with a terrace filled with Arabica coffee trees, which then opens into interconnected spaces where visitors are invited to rake coffee beans or try coffee bean de-pulping and washing during harvest seasons. This immersive coffee sanctuary, <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/asia/stories/2019/starbucks-opens-one-of-a-kind-coffee-sanctuary-in-bali-indonesia/">which first opened its doors in 2019</a>, features <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/asia/stories/2022/coffee-experience-center-at-starbucks-dewata/">a new Coffee Experience Center</a> where customers can learn about the art and science behind sourcing, roasting, and brewing coffee – bringing the coffee journey full circle from bean to cup.

Set sail north from Bali across the Java Sea and Gulf of Thailand to Bangkok, and you’ll find the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/asia/stories/2021/starbucks-unveils-largest-store-in-thailand/">Starbucks Reserve® Chao Phraya Riverfront store</a>. The location, which serves small-lot Starbucks Reserve coffees and Thailand’s own <a href="https://www.starbucks.co.th/product/muan-jai-blend/">Muan Jai Blend</a>, is the largest Starbucks in the country and celebrates Thai culture with a mezzanine ceiling that features beautifully crafted lanterns in a nod to the city’s Loy Krathong festival. The crowning jewel is the outdoor terrace, which offers panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline and the bustling Chao Phraya River, also known as the “River of Kings.”

A flight west brings us to the shores of the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates, where you’ll find the <a href="https://www.starbucks.ae/en/reserve-store-starbucks-bluewaters-island">Starbucks Reserve Bluewaters Island</a> off the shores of Dubai, which has the distinction of being the 1,000th Starbucks store in the Middle East and North Africa region. The location, which features an eye-catching interior and spectacular outdoor seating, welcomes visitors catching a ride on the nearby Ain Dubai observation wheel.

Now heading northwest cross the Arabian Peninsula to North Africa, we’ll find ourselves on the Nile River. The <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1030243/nile-city-boat-zamalek-cairo-c-na-eg">Nile City Boat</a> store in Cairo, Egypt, is designed to showcase its magnificent views of the legendary river, with an open-air patio perfect for the watching the ships sailing by.

North across the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea is Ayvalik, a seaside town on the western coast of Turkey with long sandy beaches surrounded by hills filled with pine and olive trees. Located in a former olive oil and soap factory, the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1032095/ayvalik-kirlangic-150-evler-ataturk-blv-10400-ayvalik-balikesir-10-1">Ayvalik Kirlangic</a> store has a unique design which combines inspiration from the local architecture with tones and design elements borrowed from nearby buildings. &nbsp;

A half-day’s drive takes us to the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul. Nearly 20 years after arriving in the city, Starbucks opened the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1026340/tunel-narmanli-han-istiklal-caddesi-istanbul-34-34430-tr">Narmanli Han</a> store here, its 500th store in the market. The historic location is situated on the famous Istiklal Avenue, with stunning views of the surrounding hills from the balcony above. Or enjoy the local atmosphere outside in the courtyard near the bubbling fountain to soothe the senses.

Another spin of the globe brings us to Milan, one of the global capitals of fashion and design. After a visit to the Duomo di Milano cathedral, stroll across the piazza to the <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/milano">Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Milan</a>. Here, you can immerse yourself in the world of coffee, watch Master Roasters roast the small-batch coffees Starbucks Reserve is known for, and choose some beans from the scoop bar for the trip home. Cap off the visit with a Nitro Chocolate Cream at a café table in a bronze bird cage out on the terrace or an Aperol Spritz at the marble-topped Arriviamo Bar. Can’t make it to Italy? There are five more <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/">Starbucks Reserve Roastery</a> locations around the world, including Seattle, Chicago, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo.

Now we’ll head up to London for a stop at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/2944/greenwich-the-o-2-the-o-2-london-eng-se-10-0-bb-gb">Greenwich – The O2 store</a>, located one of the British capital’s most popular entertainment venues, O2 Arena. Here you’ll discover an enticing and bold space full of color, light, and fun. Bespoke artwork creates an energizing place to meet with friends before heading off to the show.

11. Muizenberg, South Africa

A 12-hour flight south from London to Cape Town brings us to a beachside hamlet of Muizenberg, South Africa, known for its surfing community and brightly-painted beach huts. Enjoy the town’s laid back vibe from the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1030790/muizenberg-muizenberg-beach-phase-4-beach-road-cape-town-wc-7">Muizenberg store</a>, where customers can enjoy watching the sunset over the beach through the store’s glazed façade, as well as the ocean-inspired Siren artwork and bar.

Let’s venture back east to the grounds of Tokyo’s Imperial Palace. In the Outer Gardens, you’ll find the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/asia/stories/2021/starbucks-first-greener-store-in-japan-aims-to-cut-waste/">Wadakura Fountain Park store</a>, which serves as a hub to test and scale new sustainability strategies. Here, what’s old is new – with repurposed materials that celebrates circularity from artwork created using recycled canvas and fishing nets to floor tiles made from coffee grounds.

You can find another exciting store dedicated to sustainability innovation in China at the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/asia/stories/2021/inside-starbucks-first-greener-store-in-china/">Shanghai Greener Store</a>. The location features recycled and lower-impact building materials such as wood reclaimed from the renovation of other Starbucks stores with interior elements designed to be recycled, upcycled or biodegraded. Even the aprons are greener, made from recycled Starbucks cold cups using advanced plastic-to-textile technologies.

If you enjoy sipping your coffee alfresco, then venture over to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1032391/carter-road-union-park-road-carter-road-mumbai-mh-400050-in">Carter Road store</a> in&nbsp;Mumbai, India – where all the seating is outdoors. The café, located in the coastal suburb of Bandra, is surrounded by lush plants and palm trees. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy the ocean breezes from the Arabian Sea while you watch the world zip by on the nearby seaside promenade.

15. St. Ann Parish, Jamaica

Over in the Americas, you can catch a chill vibe in St. Ann Parish on the northern shores of Jamaica. The Starbucks <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator?map=18.433558,-77.17427,9z&amp;place=St.%20Ann%20Parish,%20Jamaica">Drax Hall Plaza store</a>&nbsp;is the market, and a perfect spot to relax and recharge on your way to nearby shopping or the beach. While you’re there, snap a selfie in front of one of its pastel island-inspired murals created by a local artist.

16. West Palm Beach, Florida

Now let’s follow the ocean waves from the beaches of the Caribbean to the shores of Florida’s West Palm Beach. Here you’ll find the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1030803/s-rosemary-ave-hibiscus-st-701-south-rosemary-avenue-west-palm-beach-fl-33401">Starbucks at Rosemary Square</a>, with a bright, airy palette evoking the breezy feel of Palm Beach, from the sweeping light fixtures overhead to the nuanced coral details on the outdoor columns by the patio. A mural of the Starbucks Siren is front and center, beckoning customers inside for a luxurious escape.

17. Virginia Beach, Virginia

Head north up the East Coast and you’ll reach the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1031589/general-booth-nimmo-hickman-place-2160-general-booth-blvd-virginia-beach-va-23454-us">General Booth &amp; Nimmo, Hickman Place store</a> – a place where you’re sure to feel at home. The store is located in one of Virginia’s 50 most historical residences, once owned by the Hickman family back in 1832. To preserve and honor the house’s history, the design of the café area merges the contemporary with the historical, combining two stories into one space amplified through lighting and vertical screens. Look closely, you might even spot original portraits of the Hickman family!

From Virginia, take a road trip north on I-95 to New York City to explore a few of the Big Apple’s most illustrious locations. We’ll start at the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator?map=40.722536,-73.997959,14z&amp;place=Spring%20St%20&amp;%20Crosby%20St,%20New%20York,%20NY,%20USA">Spring &amp; Crosby store</a>, one of the NYC originals, opening its doors in the heart of SoHo in 1995. You may recognize it as setting for scenes from movies and tv shows, such as Carrie Bradshaw and her friends on “And Just Like That.” The moody palette provides a cool backdrop to the bright coffee bar and features brass detailing and lighting that guides customers through the space using a hierarchy of light.

Head north to Midtown, and you’ll reach the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/11599/31st-7th-370-7th-avenue-new-york-ny-100013901-us">31st &amp; 7th store</a>&nbsp; across from Penn Station. Its bright and welcoming color palate welcomes weary travelers, with a bold Siren mural that evokes the brave spirit of the Statue of Liberty herself.

If you’re a techie, you’ll want to check out the new <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2021/starbucks-pickup-and-amazon-go-collaborate-to-launch-new-store-concept-in-new-york-city/">Starbucks Pickup with Amazon Go</a> on <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1032137/59th-park-lex-w-amazon-go-111-east-59th-st-new-york-ny-10022-us">59th Street between Park &amp; Lexington Avenues</a>. The store is a combination of a Starbucks Pickup and Amazon Go, utilizing the order ahead feature in the Starbucks app and Amazon Go’s Just Walk Out technology to create an easy checkout experience, alongside a modernized lounge that features individual workspaces and expanded tables with power outlets and USB ports.

For those who like their coffee on ice – check out the store at the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator?map=47.704564,-122.323861,11z&amp;place=kraken%20community">Kraken Community Iceplex</a> in Seattle. The location overlooks the practice rink for the National Hockey League Seattle Kraken and welcomes both junior skaters and die-hard hockey fans alike. If you’re lucky, you may see the face of the Siren herself resurface the ice on the facility’s Zamboni machine! The location is also one of <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2020/starbucks-expands-commitment-in-underserved-communities-across-the-us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Starbucks Community Stores</a>,&nbsp;which helps promote economic development and opportunity in underserved communities by hiring from the community, partnering with nonprofits and working with local artists, and serve as a space for neighborhood events and programs.

Inside you'll find touches of Pacific Northwest regional modernism with soaring beams and exposed wood ceilings. And outside, the exterior takes inspiration from a lighthouse that once sat on a pier nearby – a shining symbol of peace and harmony.

From a historic home in Guatemala to a store made from repurposed shipping containers in Peru – here’s a look at some of the most unique Starbucks stores around the world.

Summer is upon us, and whether you’re planning an epic cross-country adventure or exploring a little closer to home – sometimes getting there is half of the fun. Here are a few of the most unique U.S. Starbucks stores for a memorable pit stop on your next road trip.

Let’s fuel up for our adventure at a café that was once an old-fashioned gas station, the Starbucks at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1007178/highland-willoughby-859-n-highland-avenue-los-angeles-ca-900383416-us">Highland and Willoughby in Los Angeles</a>. The art deco structure, originally built in 1935, is straight from the golden age of Hollywood and has even been featured in several movies and commercials.

A 200-mile drive across the desert east of L.A. brings us to the bright lights of Las Vegas, where you’ll find a Starbucks store that is a work of art. <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1014419/cosmopolitan-las-vegas-casino-fl-3708-las-vegas-blvd-south-las-vegas-nv-89109-us">The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Starbucks</a> features a colorful geometric public art installation by French artist and photographer Georges Rousse that changes perspective when moving through the space. Still thirsty? There are <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2014/summer-road-trip-starbucks-stores-shine-among-the-bright-lights-of-las-vega/#:~:text=The%20pulsing%20heart%20of%20the,Casino%20to%20the%20Stratosphere%20Tower.">more than 30 Starbucks stores </a>along the four miles of the Las Vegas Strip between the Mandalay Bay Resort &amp; Casino to the Stratosphere Tower.

If you’d prefer wide open spaces and mountain views, a summertime visit to Ketchum, Idaho is just for you – with hiking, mountain biking, and camping in the surrounding Sawtooth National Forest. The <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/68811/ketchum-town-center-491-sun-valley-rd-ketchum-id-83340-us">Ketchum Town Center</a> store and its relaxing ski resort vibe (inspired by nearby Sun Valley) make it the perfect spot to visit after a day outdoors.

Summer is the best time to visit Seattle, when the rain (mostly) stays away and the flowers are in bloom at the Pike Place Market. Thousands make the pilgrimage each year to the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/11676/pike-place-1912-pike-place-seattle-wa-981011013-us">Pike Place store</a>, snapping selfies under the weathered brown logo while partners make their beverages on the vintage-style manual espresso machine and bag coffee on the worn wooden counters. You’ll also see something partners tossing empty cups back and forth with drink orders, an homage to the fish tossed my fishmongers in stalls across the cobblestone street. Just don’t try to order a blueberry muffin, the original lease stipulated that food could not be served, and that tradition is continued today.

Is visiting the largest Starbucks in the world is on your summer bucket list? If so, then head to Chicago for a trip to the <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/chicago">Starbucks Reserve Chicago Roastery</a>. It is a five-story coffee wonderland – where you can immerse yourself in the journey of coffee from bean to cup.

If your travels take you through Texas, check out the Starbucks store at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1006594/3rd-lavaca-301-west-3rd-street-austin-tx-787013815-us">3rd &amp; Lavaca</a> in Austin which celebrates the city’s love for music. The design includes music-inspired details like speaker paneling, microphone chandeliers and spotlight pendant lighting. The design team also incorporated amber siding throughout the store to serve as a nod to the site’s previous history as a way station on a rail route back when the city was called Waterloo.

Another location with musical inspiration is the store on <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1005864/canal-st-st-charles-700-canal-st-new-orleans-la-70119-us">Canal St. &amp; Saint Charles</a> in New Orleans’ historic French Quarter. Here, the Starbucks design team dreamed up a vivid story of an apothecary merchant from the early 20th Century who would sell his goods in the front of a store and settle down after hours in the back “living room,” where a 12-foot-long community table rested. That formidable table demanded a trumpet chandelier to complement its commanding presence.

Savannah is known as the “Forest City,” with its cobblestone streets lined by hundreds of live oaks and Spanish moss-draped trees made for wandering, both for people and the spirits who roam this notoriously haunted city. The <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1015870/west-bay-and-barnard-135-w-bay-street-savannah-ga-314011108-us">West Bay &amp; Bernard</a> store features an enchanting art installation that celebrates the city’s nature, beauty and history.

Continue driving north up the Atlantic Coast to the nation’s capital, where you’ll find <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2018/eight-things-to-know-about-the-new-starbucks-signing-store/">one of the most unique Starbucks store</a>s in the country. The Starbucks Signing Store at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1009470/6th-h-625-h-street-washington-dc-200025094-us">6th &amp;H</a> in Washington, D.C. is led by a diverse team of partners who are fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). For customers new to sign language, the store features high-tech options for assisting with communication, ordering drinks, and receiving beverages at the hand-off counter. Be sure to check out the colorful mural created by&nbsp;<a href="http://yiqiaowang.com/index.html">Yiqiao Wang</a>, a Deaf artist and adjunct professor at Gallaudet University which includes a host of letters, signs and symbols representing English, ASL, Deaf culture and coffee.

Just outside Washington, D.C., book lovers will enjoy a stop at the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/10908/george-mason-university-4401-university-drive-fairfax-va-220304481-us">George Mason University store</a> and its a one-of-a-kind collage of 34 flying books. This café may look a little familiar, it is featured in <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2020/you-can-still-work-from-starbucks-with-virtual-backgrounds/">Starbucks collection of virtual backgrounds</a>, and honors the university’s renowned science program with light fixtures made from iron pipes above the artwork evoke the feeling of a science lab. (Be sure to “hit the books” on a weekday, the location is closed on the weekends over the summer.)

One last stop before we go and we’ll make it a good one – the <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/new-york">Starbucks Reserve New York Roastery</a>. Located in the historic meatpacking district of Manhattan, the New York Roastery has been immersing customers <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2018/starbucks-reserve-roastery-begins-its-unique-new-york-state-of-grind/">in the craft of coffee since 2018</a>, with interactive elements to bring guests closer to the craft of coffee from roasting to brewing. If you’re staying the night, grab a bite at Princi bakery and a drink at the Arriviamo Bar, which serves cocktails and spritz beverages featuring coffee and tea, including the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2021/embrace-spring-at-starbucks-reserve-roasteries/">newest cocktails on the menu</a>: Pineapple Rum Float and Blush Mint Julep.

Where’s your favorite coffee spot? Perhaps it would be overlooking a volcano in Costa Rica or under a patio umbrella on the Caribbean. It could be a bustling spot full of the sights and sounds of roasting coffee, or a place where you don’t need to make a sound at all. Here’s a start to your 2020 resolutions with 20 unique Starbucks stores to visit in the new year.

1. Tenerife, Spain

Let’s now hop across the Atlantic to Tenerife, the largest of the four Spanish Canary Islands, located west of the coast of Morocco. The <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1020454/puerto-de-la-cruz-edificio-casa-miranda-calle-santo-domingo-13-santa">Puerto de la Cruz store</a> was beautifully designed to be in keeping with the building’s 18th century architecture and is situated near El Muelle Beach, one of Tenerife’s many famous black volcanic beaches.

If one beautiful Spanish destination has you yearning for another one, then continue on another 1,300 miles north to Bilbao, the historic heart of the majestic Basque Country. At the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1020654/c-navarra-calle-navarra-8-bilbao-bi-48001-es">Navarra Street</a>&nbsp;store, a stunning wall of amethyst stones lights the space with bright purple tones, a nod to the site’s past life as a jewelry store. A vintage glass chandelier adds a further touch of luxury while customers enjoy their favorite beverages.

Paris is always a good idea, and an unmatched destination to ring in the new decade. The Starbucks store at <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1005179/place-du-tertre-8-10-rue-norvins-paris-j-75018-fr">Place du Tertre</a>, located in in the neighborhood of Montmartre, is a cozy space to rest and recharge after climbing the steps to Sacre-Coeur Basilica. You’ll find the former cabaret tucked away in an 18th century stone building on the quiet cobblestone Rue Norvins.

The Maltese capital of Valletta is known for its colorful doors, which for centuries stood as beacons for sea traders crisscrossing the Mediterranean. Behind a lime green one you’ll find the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1024842/valletta-waterfront-valletta-waterfront-floriana-09-frn-1913-mt">Valletta Waterfront</a> store in Floriana, the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/emea/stories/2019/starbucks-welcomes-first-customers-in-malta/">first Starbucks location in the island-state of Malta</a>. The store was designed to reflect Valletta’s heritage as a trading hub with wood, marble and dark, sophisticated finishes that contrast with the lighter stone façade of the city’s iconic waterfront.

Travel east to Southeast Asia, and you’ll find the city of Bangkok shimmering on the Gulf of Thailand. The Starbucks store at <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/asia/stories/2018/starbucks-opens-reserve-bar-store-to-celebrate-20-years-in-thailand/">CentralWorld</a> is Thailand’s largest, a celebration of 20 years in the country. The store features a Starbucks Reserve™ coffee bar and, for the first time in Asia, Starbucks beverages infused with nitrogen including Nitro Peach Tea, Nitro Green Tea Latte, Nitro Caramel Macchiato and Nitro Flat White.

Journey another 820 miles northeast across Thailand and Laos to reach the historic capital city of Hanoi, Vietnam. You’ll feel right at home at the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/1021705/duy-tan-32-duy-tan-cau-giay-dist-32-34-duy-tan-qu%E1%BA%ADn-c%E1%BA%A7u-gi">Duy Tan</a> store, a two-story former residence nestled between to towering office buildings. The location contrasts old and new, with original brickwork alongside modern chevron wood cladding. &nbsp;

Just a little over 2,100 miles south of the Asian continent, just below the equator, is the Indonesian island of Bali and the home of one of Starbucks most unique coffee experiences. At the <a href="http://dewata.starbucks.co.id/">Dewata Coffee Sanctuary</a>, coffee is not only sipped, but also grown as a tribute to the role that Indonesia plays in the world of coffee. The design pays homage to Indonesia culture as well, with hand-carved stone tiles that create the ornate floor and wall design while traditional local crafts were reimagined into patterns which reflect a modern interpretation of coffee flowers and coffee beans.

Head north to eastern China’s scenic Slender Lake district in Yangzhou, and you’ll discover a Starbucks designed to respect the area’s rich cultural heritage, built in the unique style of Jiannan classical Chinese architecture. Inside, the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator?map=32.390588,119.572353,9z&amp;place=Yangzhou%20Slender%20West%20Lake%20Culture%20Plaza">Yangzhou Slender West Lake Culture Plaza</a> location is just as stunning, with an elevated Starbucks Reserve™ coffee experience in the open first floor, while customers relaxing in the second floor’s seating area ceiling can enjoy the exposed wood structure from inside the beautiful pitched roof.

Further north, about 200 miles (or a 30 minute high-speed passenger train ride) from Beijing is the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2019/starbucks-preserves-heritage-site-in-china-to-open-flagship-location-in-tianjin/">Tianjin Riverside 66 store</a>. Originally a bank building constructed in 1921 by a renowned Chinese architect, it took three years for Starbucks to preserve the building's original architecture and restore it to its full splendor, while infusing modern and creative elements that complement and give new life to the space. Highlights include a Renaissance-style façade, an expansive dome with imported marble columns, and local Chinese carvings. The original bank counters have also been fully preserved, allowing customers a peek into what a bank from a century ago looked and felt like.

Located in the vibrant and creative neighborhood of Nakameguro, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo's enchanting design was inspired by the famous cherry blossom trees lining the Meguro River. The building’s glass walls and terraced floors seamlessly fold into the fabric of the neighborhood, bringing visitors eye-level with the seasonal cherry blossoms and the river to reflect the natural beauty and sense of harmony found across Japan.
