Starbucks Coffee

The 16 Hottest New Restaurants in Shanghai

"Shanghai was already home to the world’s largest number of Starbucks in one city (631 and counting), so it seems natural that it would get the biggest actual Starbucks as well. This 29,000-square-foot emporium is indeed the largest Starbucks in the world, and serves as a tribute to everything coffee bean, with on-site roasting, embedded AR technology, bars for cold-brew coffee, bars for cocktails, and a very spendy pastry shop by Milanese star baker Rocco Princi. When it opened at the end of November, the lines stretched down the long block to get in. While there may still be a queue as you read this, it’s since died down, making now the time to go." - Christopher St. Cavish
