The two level store, called Starbucks Reserve Chao Phraya Riverfront, opened at IconSiam on Friday, February 12, and measures a whopping 1,260 sqm – twice the size of Starbucks Central World, which was previously the largest branch in Thailand.
Able to accommodate 350 customers, the store offers spectacular panoramic views of the Chao Phraya river and also includes a large ‘work zone’ for people to catch up on work while in the store.
Customers can choose from a selection of locally sourced Thai and international coffee beans and there is also a dedicated ‘TEAVANA’ tea bar offering up a variety of tea such as Lychee, Earl Gray Tea and Peach Mojito.
The store also will be the first Starbucks branch in Thailand to serve alcoholic beverages.
The new Mixologist bar is expected to open once COVID-19 restrictions are eased, the firm said.
There are now more than 400 branches of Starbucks in Thailand, with the firm planning to add 20-30 stores within the next year, many of which will be drive-thru branches.
