Starbucks the corporate monster coffeehouse is jumping on the sustainable wagon. They've just opened a new concept cafe on the Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam. Their designers included more then 35 local craftmens and artists that have used reclaimed materials such as Delft tiles, bicycle inner tubes, and wooden gingerbread molds. They are trying to keep up with the local coffee shops catering to the more alternative and creative demographic. Word on the street is they are using social media to tweet relevant information like when their warm cookies are coming out of the inhouse bakery. Although whenever possible we prefer supporting independent businesses, if in the Rembrandtplein square, perhaps it's worth an espresso shot (for research purposes)
