Take a look at The Bank. No, this isn’t a Hollywood movie, but the name of a beautiful Starbucks concept store in Amsterdam.
Opened on March 8, 2012, the 430 square metre (4,500 sqf) store is
located in the vault of the historic Amsterdamsche Bank. Among other
things, it features a floor-to-ceiling mural celebrating the history of
Dutch coffee traders, repurposed Dutch oak throughout the space, antique
Delft blue tiles, a ceiling sculpture created from 1,876 hand-cut
wooden blocks, and a wall clad in recycled bicycle inner tubes.
At
the Coffee Theatre, baristas will “develop new coffee brewing methods”
and offer “small batch reserve coffees available nowhere else on the
continent.”
If you are a Twitter user, you can try following
Starbucks’ tweets. For example, the bakery tweet out ‘warm cookies’ the
minute a fresh batch rolls out of the oven.
