STARBUCKS Famille Park is the 1999th anniversary store of Starbucks in Korea since 15. It was opened in 2014 and is also the 800th branch in Korea. The exterior of the building is a 12-corner building. The entire roof uses transparent glass to introduce light to create an interior. The high and bright open space, the inner atrium is decorated with a group of birds hovering upwards. The triangular geometric figures and the warm wood are quite simple in Japanese origami style.
In Seoul, where coffee culture is prevalent, cafes and afternoon tea restaurants can be seen everywhere. There are also many local coffee chains in South Korea. The market competition is quite lively. The American Starbucks brand is most familiar to tourists.For those who like to collect Starbucks cups and commemorative goods, Famille Park must be listed as a pilgrimage site.
