With captivating Japanese aesthetics and old-world charm, Starbucks' new outpost in Tainan Cultural and Creativity Park, Taiwan has a timeless allure that's sure to enchant anyone who steps through its doors.
The new Starbucks store in Souther Taiwan (Tainan) is a striking mix of Japanese-style architecture and European design elements, creating a captivating atmosphere that instantly transports patrons to a bygone era from the moment they step inside. This outlet, named the Starbucks Cultural and Creative Store, is the first coffee shop in Tainan to incorporate historical locations into its design and has been warmly welcoming customers since it opened earlier this year.
Situated adjacent to Tainan Train Station, the building has a rich history dating back to Japan's occupation, when it served as the Tainan branch of the Monopoly Bureau of the Taiwan Governor's Office. Its wall-to-wall windows and facade adorned in red imitation bricks exude a timeless elegance. The strategically positioned island bar counter offers a mesmerizing view of the surroundings while the restored original flooring adds a touch of authenticity to the decor. Visitors can also enjoy the serene beauty of a Japanese garden outside the charming structure while sipping on their preferred beverage.
