As fans around the world gather to cheer on their national teams, Starbucks is celebrating the global game by spotlighting eight of the world’s most beautiful coffeehouses. With locations in 90 markets, Starbucks serves as a place for connection, community and shared experiences across cultures.

Whether it’s Starbucks Bernabéu in Madrid with views of Real Madrid’s iconic soccer pitch, or Boulevard de Capucines in Paris with its ornate chandeliers and grand architecture, each destination offers a unique sense of place.

Argentina 
Unicenter, Buenos Aires 

Starbucks arrived in Argentina in 2008, immersing itself in the country’s deep love of coffee and rich café tradition of slow, social sipping. At the Unicenter Starbucks  on Level 1, customers can take a journey with coffee in cozy banquette seats reminiscent of a vintage train compartment.

Belgium 
Grand Place 4, Brussels 

Tucked beneath the gilded columns of Grand-Place (Grote Markt) in historic Brussels is one of Belgium’s most iconic Starbucks coffeehouses . Surrounded by beautifully preserved 17th-century trade guild buildings and historic landmarks, Grand-Place’s remarkable architectural harmony inspired Victor Hugo to call it “the most beautiful square in the world.”

England 
Battersea Power Station, London

What better place to power up for a day of sightseeing than at the Starbucks coffeehouse at Battersea Power Station ? Inspired by the historic building’s Art Deco heritage, the coffeehouse’s design references the grandeur of Turbine Hall A through refined detailing and an industrial material palette that celebrates the craftsmanship and theater of coffee roasting.

A modern lounge area features wooden furniture and plants, with large glass windows overlooking a sports stadium seating area.

Switzerland 
Landquart Fashion Outlet 

Located in the heart of Switzerland’s Graubünden region, Starbucks at Landquart Fashion Outlet  is surrounded by an open-air chalet-style shopping village set against a spectacular backdrop of alpine peaks, lush valleys and vineyard-covered hills.
