[ Café ]Starbucks reserve roastery in Seattle

Their literature says that it was “the call of the siren” that asked them to build it. I’m certain that is true and of course their absolute passion for coffee. Why? Because you can see it’s absolutely dazzles when you walking in the store. Copper, bronze, glass everything new and sparkly and of course the wonderful aroma. A 15,000 square foot shrine to coffee. The building itself is art deco and beautiful. Formerly, it was the Packard building and is located on what was Seattle’s auto row in the 1940’s. The renovation took two years and has been restored to its original elegance.

An iconic destination opened in 1907; this Seattle market is one of the United State’s oldest continuously operating farmer’s markets. Nevertheless, today it is much more than just a farmer’s market. It’s an impressive pillar of the community, a top tourist attraction, a place for locals to shop for fresh meats, fish and produce, and a home to over 300 low-income families.

[ Local Market ] 4 local markets that you have to visit

After come to Europe, I found every urban has a shopping street or department store such as Champs Avenue of Paris in France, Oxford Street of London in England, etc.., but these shopping avenues are high-priced boutique, sports brand or the hottest brand for now on the street.

Nonetheless those shopping street is not the most fascinating in the city which the local market is more attractive to me that you can observe the lives of local people and a little integrate to them in briefly way.

when I was in Paris the Marché Bastille is my favorite one; however, I think the Camden Market is my best choose in London this international city.
