The world’s biggest Starbucks opens in Shanghai, China on Wednesday and at 30,000 sq ft, expect to get a lot of caffeine.
This isn’t just some typical coffee shop. It will include various new features that are sure to make your visit an experience. Swipe through to find out what they’ve got brewing.
The outlet will house a Starbucks Reserve Roastery dedicated to specialty beans and brewing methods. To help customers understand the more complicated processes, an augmented-reality app can be downloaded that will give you a tour of the store’s equipment.
For instance, if you point your phone at a copper cask, it will show you how beans are transported there, along with a video of what happens once they’re inside the cask. Customers will get “virtual badges” once they complete the tour, which will allow them to earn a “custom Roastery” photo filter for their next selfie.
The outlet will also feature three coffee bars. The longest measures at 88 feet long, making it the longest Starbucks coffee bar in the world.
Lastly, the outlet will house a 3D printed tea bar, an Italian bakery, and a ceiling made of 10,000 handmade wooden hexagon-shaped tiles.
The coffee mecca is definitely the place to be. Trip to Shanghai anyone?
