This store sits in the historic national theatre building and is not allowed to have a STARBUCKS sign, nor indication of store hours, only a small logo. Inside they were not allowed to decorate the space, so the only unusual features are dark green curtains, an ornate floor, and a large painting on the ceiling.

Casa Bou is not only the flagship store in El Salvador, but likely one of the single most stunning stores across all of Latin America. Notable features include the architecture, the stained glass, and the various murals. Unusual features include a library of books on the second storey and an honest-to-goodness art gallery on the third.

This is the smallest (non-kiosk) Starbucks I recall seeing in El Salvador, and it lacks a washroom. However, if you pay attention, you will find a collection of artwork tucked on a side wall, and while all the art appears corporate, their are two pieces that reflect San Salvador.

I first wisited Biscuit Factory in 2018, and my intent was to replace my deleted post, but when I arrived I learned that they moved about six years ago, so this cafe is new to me. I had zero memory of my original wisit, including whether they actually offered American-style biscuits, and I was disappointed to learn that they do not. The cafe is spacious, with parking (not guaranteed in this part of the city), and the building also houses a couple of other boutiques. Plenty of space, outlets, and wifi make this a great hangout. Coffee-wise, I dig their colour-coded bags containing beans from a roaster named Aureola. Batch-brew was a blend, but until Panama the pour overs here are quite reasonably priced, and I ordered an Origami of a natural-processed Maragogipe that was pretty good.

Finally made it to Alquimia Coffee, El Salvador's lone entry on a list of World's 100 Best Coffee Shops. This cafe is a bit tucked away but worth finding for its gorgeous interior, including a lobby with a mostly minimalist design, plus a large patio. Wifi, outlets and plenty of tables made this a great hangout. As for the coffee, it was good, an Origami-brewed natural-processed medium roast, but beans from El Salvador have never been my faves.

This store sits across from the local offices of Premium Restaurants of America (which operates Starbucks in the region) and sits inside a gorgeous building. Once inside, customers are treated to two stunning murals, one of which runs from the first to the second storey.

This store sits in shopping plaza with architecture that is supposed to be evocative of European styles, and the interior of the store seems to match. Besides a gorgeous mural, the store also features a futbolito table that was added during the World Cup.
