According to a representative from Starbucks Vietnam, this store marks a new milestone for the brand in Vietnam, aiming to become a key stopover for both domestic and international visitors to Fansipan. The store's exterior design draws inspiration from Sa Pa's architecture, featuring a light green hue.

Inside, the space features beige tones, wooden materials, and green accents, creating a greenhouse-like ambiance amidst the mountains. Local woven fabrics highlight the pillars. This blend of natural materials and modern elements celebrates local culture within the coffee experience.
To celebrate the opening, Starbucks Vietnam introduced the Cloud Macchiato beverage, available in hot and iced versions. This new drink, inspired by the mountainous sea of clouds with its foam topping and caramel sauce, offers a subtle sweetness combined with Starbucks' signature espresso coffee. It is available for a limited time at Starbucks stores nationwide from march 14-20.
