What is a Starbucks Salon?

Starbucks Salon

Recently I heard about Starbucks doing something called a Salon. Well after surfing the net, I found the website for the Starbucks Salon. I love the idea. I am blown away at how innovative Starbucks continues to be with regards to coffee and coffeehouses - I completely disagree that Starbucks is the end of the coffeehouse. In fact quite the contrary - it is what brought coffeehouses back, established a consumer base with coffee knowledge so that other coffeehouses could flourish and now with its "hear the music" and these Salons we see where coffeehouses are headed in the future.

Essentially a Starbucks Salon is a nomadic interactive coffeehouse, gallery and performance venue all rolled into one. The first one popped up at the Sundance Film Festival and this latest one is schedule to open up in New York City form September 8th until Sept 17th. Check it out.
