Forget your quick takeaway latte - this is coffee fit for royalty. Starbucks has unveiled a breathtaking new concept store at the Hong Kong Palace Museum, blending Ming Dynasty aesthetics with modern brewing craft. It’s hands down the most "Instagrammable" coffee run in West Kowloon.

This isn't your average coffee shop. The space is a tribute to Chinese heritage, featuring a stunning "Starbucks" calligraphy sign by local master Westley Wong and a mesmerising porcelain wall installation by artist Leo Wong. It’s designed as a "tranquil retreat" from the city buzz, offering sweeping views of Victoria Harbour alongside your Cold Brew.
The menu is as curated as the museum exhibits. Don't miss the exclusive Plum Blossom beverage series or the Turmeric Oatmilk Latte. And for the adventurous eaters, they’re serving Ancient Egypt-themed desserts like the "Mummy's Secret Roll" and a "Golden Pistachio Pyramid Cake". Yes, you read that right.
Want a souvenir? This is also the first Starbucks in town to offer a custom engraving service for your tumblers, plus a limited-edition merchandise collection inspired by the museum's imperial artifacts. Coffee culture just got a serious upgrade.
