One of the smallest stores in Hong Kong!

This store, relocated from Hysan Avenue, is very small, but makes up for its size with style. The design is the new 2010 style featuring reclaimed furnishings, and its coolest touch is what a decoration made to look like the lid from an Indian tea create, mounted on a wall next to the bathrooms. And rather than "M" and "W" to designate the two toilets, they have instead stylistic male/female metal emblems.

This newer store not only features the new style of design element, using reclaimed materials, but also has a bit of quirky nature. You will immediately notice the old window panes mounted on the columns, but if you look more closely you will see a cute little sign that reads "i'm a HOSE REEL". Towards the back is a large Starbucks cup with the new logo, and on a wall are shelves holding books, photos, and a truly quirky touch, an old General Electric clock radio.

This singularly unique Starbucks is the coolest in Hong Kong, and one of the coolest I have seen in the entire world--perhaps only Capucines in Paris is better. The store follows the "bing sutt" (ice house) concept of old, as explained by two signs. The store displays old photos of both the building and adjacent Ice House Street as well as tributes to the Pike Place store. I cannot even begin to list all of the cool decorations and memoriabilia in the store--you'll just have to save up and visit Hong Kong when you can!

This very cool new concept store has something unusual, an express bar that faces the hallway of the shopping centre, completely separate from the full bar inside. Another unusual feature is its diversity concept--most stores in HK are staffed by ethnic Chinese, but this one goes out of the way to hire some non-Chinse. Cool decore include funky red tile on one wall, a large reddish reflective mirror slanting up the side of the main room, and a large picture window facing Nathan road.

Another unusual thing--this store allows regulars to keep their tumblers on a shelf so they don't have to remember to bring them in!
