Though next to a mall, this store is actually pretty cool because of the Asian art it displays, especially on the second floor. Be sure to walk up the wooden staircase to see several cool art pieces as well as a tall lamp covered in red cloth.#10035: Spencer St, Melbourne, Australia

This newly-renovated store has the funkiest design of all the Sydney stores. Table, chairs, seats, and the interior decor give the store a very modern, almost futuristic look. And situated where it is, it's a spectacular place to people-watch along the bayfront. But perhaps the coolest feature is upstairs, a repurposed cart used as a condiment bar!#10023: Haymarket, Sydney, Australia
