The Starbucks made entirely from recycled shipping containers
is super-cool, but this is even cooler.
Starbucks recently opened a location in Japan that needed to blend in with the surrounding milieu while simultaneously being "Starbucky." The solution is
as elegant as it is attractive.
It's still not as cool as my favorite cafe (as regards design) in the world, Tinderbox in the UK, which has a seemingly endless number of little nooks into which you can tuck yourself as you get buzzed.
Go go gadget, caffeine.
