There's no arguing that this new Tukila, Wash., Starbucks stands out — and for all the right reasons. Made using four reclaimed shipping containers, the design is as eco-friendly as it is innovative and, quite frankly, just plain cool looking.

The interior features some 2,000 light wood blocks interwoven throughout the length of the store. According to reports, the stunning effect is meant to evoke the look of branches in a forest, giving the impression that the store is "nestled in a tree."

Talk about a mall Starbucks outlet unlike any other! Located inside Dubai's extravagantly decorated Ibn Battuta Mall (allegedly the world's largest themed shopping mall), this Starbucks location benefits from some pretty stunning surrounding design — namely, a gorgeous, blue-and-yellow, mosaic-tiled domed ceiling and a showpiece of a chandelier.
