On Sept. 18, Starbucks opened its second location under the name Roy Street Coffee & Tea on Capitol Hill in Seattle.
Similar to its 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea location, also on Capitol Hill in Seattle, the coffeehouse reflects more of a community look and feel.
A Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter blog said the store features "tall curtains, mirrors and high back chairs inspired by the style of the nearby Harvard Exit Theater and Tudor style of the Loveless building next door."
The Roy Street Starbucks is located near Seattle's theater district and also features furnishings from area vintage and antique stores.
Also from the blog:
Visitors will take part in coffee cuppings, where customers can explore new coffee, goods from Essential Baking, salad and Chef Tom Douglas's tomato soup. Along with all the selections, there is a drop down screen for film showings and different areas with different lighting levels. Four unisex bathrooms are available for customers, although a diaper changing table is not available yet.
