The "Starbucks Espresso Journey" Pop-Up Shop in Tokyo by Nendo Architects

An interactive cafe experience.

Japanese design studio Nendo designed the latest Starbucks pop-up shop in Tokyo, Japan. The "Starbucks Espresso Journey" is a place where customers can learn more about their caffeinated beverage of choice in a library-like setting. It has rows of bookshelves containing color-coded book covers to represent different espresso drinks.

The overall design concept aims to explore the relationship between reading and enjoying a cup of coffee in an interactive, experiential space, and by the looks of it — they've succeeded.
