Two new Starbucks stores have opened up in Germany recently! And Starbucks in Germany is definitely growing still. Here is a little info about two new-ish stores:
(1) Starbucks Main Taunus Zentrum, Sulzbach, Hesse. Telefon – 30 05 86 86. Located inside Taunus Zentrum Mall.
One of the two stores is a LEED Certified store in Sulzbach, which is a suburb of Frankfurt am Main. My understanding is that this store is a relocation of a previous store, and opened in its current location on May 4, 2011, as per a post by StarbucksDeutschland on their Facebook page. It is the second LEED Certified Starbucks in Germany – the first LEED Starbucks store in Germany opened up July 12, 2010 in Dresden. From the photos of this store I don’t see any signage stating that it is a LEED store, however I’ve been assured by Sebastian, who sent me the photos, that indeed this store is LEED Certified.
I’ve included lots of photos of the new Taunus Zentrum Starbucks, which features lots of reclaimed wood tables, and a community bulletin board with local bus schedules. The “Verkehrsmittel” are the local bus schedules. This new Starbucks also shows off our new logo too! It’s beautiful. I really love seeing the new logo prominently displayed in new stores. It seems like Starbucks is amping up their new store openings, so I may have a few new store articles on the blog soon.
Thank you Sebastian for sending me these pictures! They’re gorgeous (and looking at the food makes me hungry. You’ve got great looking cakes and treats in Germany).
(2) Starbucks Frankfurt Airport Store at the Squaire. Hugo-Eckner-Ring. Frankfurt, Hessen 60549.
This Starbucks is located just outside of the Frankfurt Airport at a nearby shopping center called “The Squaire” which is actually connected to the Frankfurt Airport Train Station. There are total of four Frankfurt Airport Starbucks including this one. This store was built in August 2010 which is why it features the pre-2011 new logo. It’s a little unclear to me whether the store opened in August or the opening for some reason was delayed.
Enjoy the photos!

Awesome! I love that their cold cups come with the dome lids. I wish the ones in the US did, and I don’t really know why because I rarely order whip cream or cold drinks…they just look nice!
@Hayley – I thought the dome lids were interesting too and would be quite popular here.
Interesting to see that the tea is branded as Starbucks instead of Tazo.
@CD I noticed that too! I had to look closely to figure out what that was at first.
I always wonder why International stores get more comfy seating than North American stores?
@BostonStarbucksRebel – On the whole it looks like they do get more comfy seating. Maybe the Europeans are just better at not spilling coffee on the furniture. ?? *eeek* Really, I have no idea why.
There are dome lids for the cold cups available online in the US! So you can have them, if you want.
Thank you Melody!
I waited for this post.
Sebastian, danke.
Ich mag dein Mauerpapier.
Starbucks coffee Japan Ltd must learn these food. These cakes are very good style because they give the satisfaction that is enough for a customer.
(Starbucks France has good cakes, too)
Also I like the RTD of the fair trade!
Sebastian, give Japan your country’s Starbucks. Haha.
CHEESECAKE! I remember when the SBUXs here in the States used to sell cheesecake. It’s a good thing they don’t now! It would be the death of me. Thanks for sharing Melody.
@GAStarbucksGirl – I like the way you think. My eyes immediately jumped to the cheesecake too.
These stores look really nice. (Especially the food) And those cake pops appear to be different than what we have??
The new siren sign looks especially radiant against the wooden texture wall. Looks great! And I agree with Boston Starbucks Rebel, the seats look really comfy. I love it when there are seats outside…nothing like fresh air and a fresh cup of coffee 😀
@CD Wer used to have Tazo tea as well…but they made it Starbucks like 2 years ago. Every tea comes in a big metal tin…it is really beautiful but not environmentally friendly. If you buy a package of tea every 2 weeks, you would have like tons of metal tins after one year at home. And they are big.
@Nob Thanks Nob…HaHa!!!!! We can share a few stores…I LOOOOOOVE most of your Japanese stores as well. I want that new drive-thru store that was highlighted in a blog post a couple of time ago! Loved the design and trees outside. 😀
I agree we here in the USA get shortchanged as far as comfy seating goes. The new designed stores here are just awful for the most part re seating. These pics are just great. Thanks. Again I ask SB corporate why we can’t get some of these store designs!
Thanx Melody! for another beautiful, informative and interesting post. The pics are really beautiful…I LOVE the coffee sign over that condiment bar? looks just right. and I agree about the food, in general.
Was that a glass enclosed wall case? I’ve never seen that before. I guess it would keep everything overall a bit cleaner, but also, I would think, less accessible. (one more step to pick something up and just look at it….?) Or was that just refelction?
RE: the new stores and comfy seating: I see many of our new stores with more ‘comfy seating’ than they had before. No more of those “big comfy fabric” chairs but those needed to go anyway…just too hard to keep clean.
Thanx again, Sebastian and Melody. very fun!
