Taking the design aesthetic of a traditional Farmhouse into consideration, the [Starbucks cafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-in-osaka) features a large box-like enclosure that sits atop a house-style unit. Designed by the I Like Design Studio, the Starbucks location features ample seating with the top portion offering spacious areas to relax, unwind or perhaps get some work done. The location features a [drive-thru](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valley-fair-kiosk) as well as meeting rooms on the second floor to enhance the usage capabilities of the space. At night, the glass-enclosed top portion allows patrons to see out and outsiders to see in. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Farmhouse-inspired Cafe Design:** Creating a modern yet rustic atmosphere in cafes through the use of farmhouse-inspired design. - **Enhanced Cafe Seating:** Providing ample seating, including comfortable and spacious areas, to encourage patrons to stay and enjoy their experience. - **Multi-use Cafe Spaces:** Incorporating additional features such as drive-thrus, meeting rooms, and outdoor spaces to increase the usage capabilities of cafes. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality Industry:** Implementing farmhouse-inspired design and enhanced seating options in cafes and other hospitality spaces to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. - **Real Estate Industry:** Partnering with cafe businesses to incorporate multi-use spaces in new or existing developments to offer added value to tenants or residents. - **Architecture and Design Industry:** Designing cafes and other hospitality spaces with a focus on creating modern yet rustic atmospheres and multi-use spaces with enhanced seating to meet evolving customer preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Traditionally Designed QSR Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-korea-3.md) - [Phygital Thai Coffee Flagships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-coffee.md) - [Mirrored-Detailed Garden Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nana-coffee-roasters.md) - [Gabled Blackened Wooden Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harudot.md) - [Sweet Potato-Powered Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-and-kirishima-shuzo.md) - [Cross-Influence Fusion Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/challe-caf.md) - [Spaciously Modern City Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brandor-coffee.md) - [Farm-Inspired Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-barn-1.md) - [Interaction-Based Japanese Cafe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-3.md)
