"Best Modern Coffee Shop Design\nWhether on the beach in Australia, in midtown Manhattan, or in downtown Stockholm, the globe's 9 most incredibly designed spots all create serious buzz\nTORQUAY, AUSTRALIA\n\nOn a pristine stretch of Victoria's coastline, the undulating fa\u00E7ade of Third Wave recalls the waves below. The compact kiosk\u2014occupying just over 200 square feet\u2014houses the beach's changing rooms in addition to the coffee bar, which serves international brews. Weathered sheet-metal that was used for flood protection in the area a few years prior was repurposed for the structure, which can be easily broken down and relocated if necessary. thirdwavekiosk.com.au\nSAN FRANCISCO\n\nLocated in the city's bustling financial district, Coffee Bar was conceptualized by architecture firm Jones | Haydu as a stage for the baristas. Backlit panels of maple mingle with polished-concrete floors, Caesarstone countertops, and porcelain tiles in a simple space that highlights the small floor plan's soaring ceilings. coffeebarsf.com\nAUSTIN, TEXAS\n\nThe University of Texas at Austin is home to the first of what coffee company Briggo hopes will be several machine-operated outposts at hospitals, airports, and college and corporate campuses across the country. Measuring just 4' x 12' x 8', the retro-looking edifice created by San Francisco\u2013based design firm Fuseproject is fashioned out of wood veneer with aluminum accents, and a glass panel that allows the customers to see the mechanism at work. The direct-trade coffee from Latin America can be ordered via the station's touch screen or the mobile website, which will save a customer's preferences for easy reordering and send a text notification when the drink is ready. The forthcoming iPhone and Android apps will even allow patrons to schedule exact pickup times. briggo.com\nCHICAGO\n\nLocated in the city's Wicker Park neighborhood, the bamboo-sheathed space by local firm Norsman Architects features a sculptural ceiling inspired by none other than the decorative swirls that top the caf\u00E9's cappuccino. Repurposed streetlights illuminate the barista's counter, while backlit perforated-metal panels are a nod to the coffee filtering process. caffestreets.com\nSTOCKHOLM\n\nThe tension between a bull and a bullfighter, along with materials found in a stadium, is what prompted the color scheme of this sleek caf\u00E9 in the Swedish capital. Bands of magenta cut through the otherwise neutral concrete-and-wood space like the wave of a matador's cape against the sandy floor of a bullring. Stockholm-based Note Design Studio commissioned the hanging glass lamps, which were handblown in the town of Kosta. cafefoam.com\nLOS ANGELES\n\nHandsome Coffee Roasters tapped Los Angeles\u2013based firm Woodsmithe for the design of its 3,500-square-foot coffee bar in the Arts District. A glass wall separating the caf\u00E9 from the roasting room allows customers to observe the coffeemaking process and admire the 1950s Probat roaster in action. The industrial space features a large central bar clad in subway tiles made of aged maple\u2014a twist on the porcelain classic. handsomecoffee.com\nAMSTERDAM\n\nDesign firms Bureau SLA and Overtreders W teamed up to envision this coffee pavilion in North Amsterdam's Noorderpark. The structure, which is comprised of three units that were originally built for a temporary hospital, was constructed using repurposed materials sourced from a Dutch website similar to eBay. An ancient Japanese technique of charring wood to increase its durability\u2014called shou sugi ban\u2014was used on the oversize wood shutters. The caf\u00E9 is closed for winter but will reopen in the spring. noorderparkbar.nl\nPRISTINA, KOSOVO\n\nMore than 1,300 pieces of plywood were used to construct the organic forms in this shop's modern interior. The sculpted walls, along with coffee bean\u2013shaped light fixtures and rippled tabletops, were crafted to conjure the feeling of being inside a sack of the caffeinated seeds. Local firm Innarch designed the plywood slats on the main wall to protrude outward, forming one long banquette. 011-37-744-868-106\nNEW YORK CITY\n\nIts close proximity to the New York Public Library inspired D'espresso's lighthearted take on a reading room. Interior firm Nemaworkshop created a small space with maximum impact by rotating the room scheme 90 degrees. Tiles customized with book photos line the ceiling, floor, and back wall, while oak floorboards are laid in a herringbone pattern on the wall. The concept will serve as a model for future locations. 212-661-8814"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
