wingyew29 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Hi All, It's been awhile i wish to MOC one modular cafe out from Lego bricks. At the end, i choose to moc a famous cafe chain, Starbucks cafe. A lot of studied and reference has been done to come out with this MOC. I did include the little Starbucks barista in my moc too. Hope everyone will like it and feel free to comment. Cheers. You may dropby to my Flickr for more details photos. Enjoy Bricking!! https://www.flickr.c...57650777626585/ MOC Starbucks (1) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (2) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (3) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (4) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (5) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (6) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (7) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (11) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (14) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (15) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (17) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (20) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (26) by WingYew, on Flickr MOC Starbucks (27) by WingYew, on Flickr It's now available in LEGO IDEAS for voting as well. :) Appreciate on the support. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/96110 Edited February 26, 2015 by wingyew29 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gazumpty Posted February 12, 2015 Wow...I don't know where to start with the praise. What a brilliant piece of not only Lego design, but architectural design. The curved glass wall is brilliantly done, with the glass portal entrance! The details are carried out perfectly and your wee staff uniforms (aprons) and barista is excellent. I love the roof garden with its Giant Coffee on the corner! All your exterior aesthetics are great, switched the grooved bricks really brings, what would have been a bland wall of colour, to life! My only teeny weeny gripe...and I loathe to say it as this is such a great MOC...is the Roof Terrace depth at the corner that overhangs the curved wall space below. I think it looks a wee bit thin and unsupported. Whilst this is achievable in legoness I always like MOCs that still have some structural realism...its doesnt have to be thicker or chunky...but perhaps have some sort of cool structure or supports that makes it look less suspended. Great work and you have just gained anoter flickr follower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted February 12, 2015 This is fantastic! Beautifully designed, with so many stunning details. I particularly like the textured wall with the black grill bricks, the curved glass wall and the rooftop terrace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off the wall Posted February 12, 2015 Outstanding. The only thing missing is the hipster with a tablet using the free wifi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Outstanding. The only thing missing is the hipster with a tablet using the free wifi. There you go with your obsession with hipsters again OTW! As for the MOC it's a very refreshing change from the modulars we've been seeing recently. The scope and architecture you've chosen makes it look like it would belong in any Lego city, but it looks very different from the generic. The curved wall is well executed, the interior is fantastic and the roof top terrace is delightful. I like it a lot.

Off the wall Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Hipsters are the future of the world. All of the good parking spaces at Starbucks are taken up for hours by hipsters who are inside using the free wifi. They buy the smallest size coffee and sit there for hours. Eurotrash, here's some help in getting you ready for the future..... http://m.wikihow.com/Be-a-Hipster Edited February 12, 2015 by Off the wall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted February 12, 2015 I love it! So many details......I don't know where to begin. The layout has such a welcoming open feel to it. The glass curved front and black grill bricks add a pleasant exterior feel, while the garden terrace provides for a peaceful retreat. The inside is just begging for you to stop and get a specialty Grande anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkatt Posted February 12, 2015 The style of this build is unique and full of great details. I love the curved glass wall. Hipsters are the future of the world.

Eurotrash, here's some help in getting you ready for the future..... http://m.wikihow.com/Be-a-Hipster According to the article you linked a real hipster would not patronize Starbucks. It is far too coporate. They will only buy coffee from an independant locally owned fair trade organic certified shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw that, but......Maybe so, in theory.....in reality, they need to live up to their own standards and vacate MY parking space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLegGodt Posted February 12, 2015 I think it is time that LEGO starts bringing out Licensed Modulars and begins with this one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ObadiahPoundage Posted February 12, 2015 Wow! The curved glass and internal detailing is superb. My non corporate soul would have preferred a hand crafted artisanal community orientated workers co-operative coffee emporium rather than a coffee shop belonging to The Man but that's just me! Starbucks over-roast their coffee beans too! ;-) Great MOC. Brick on Buddy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted February 12, 2015 Nice work. I like the not so usual architecture with the curved glass wall. My favourite details are the custom prints, as they really show the Starbucks' offer. You managed to create a modern, yet recognizable cafe, and I'd love to surf the web/read a book while enjoying Chai Tea Latte. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Still Raindrop Posted February 12, 2015 As a former Starbucks barista, I have to say the interior is spot on! The exterior, on the other hand, is much cooler than any Starbucks I've seen (although the one inside an REI comes close), so fantastic job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great work and you have just gained anoter flickr follower Thanks for your comment to point out the unsupported structure. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it here. I agreed on your say and It's a very valuable input for me. I may try to avoid this to happen on the coming MOC. thanks again :) Thanks and appreciate on the comments from you guys here. It's great to hear your opinion and this definitely will motive me to work better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
