First things first, you don’t need to purchase tickets to check out the new Starbucks at Bird Paradise. It’s located at Mandai Wildlife West, a public area with playgrounds and various dining establishments.

Stepping in, you’ll see why it’s worth making a trip down. Unlike most outlets that are located in shopping centres, Starbucks at Bird Paradise is light-filled and airy. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows make you feel like you’re outdoors, enveloping you in a tranquil and serene atmosphere.
The wooden structure reminds us of Japanese ryokans, with earthy green and brown tones that blend in with the natural surroundings. Imagine sipping your favourite drink amidst a lush forest. Ahh, how enchanting. Not to mention, it’s also built out of reclaimed wood – how cool is that?
There’s also outdoor bench seating for parents to keep an eye on their kids at the nearby play area.

This outlet is not just another visually-appealing coffee shop, it’s also an eco-friendly establishment.
You can also purchase a sturdy recyclable bag here.

Besides using recycled wood, the store has also implemented sustainable practices across its entire operation, including sourcing energy-efficient equipment and utilising sustainable packaging options to reduce its environmental impact.
Hand-painted murals by local artists

It’s not all earth tones, though. The new Starbucks at Bird Paradise also features the colourful works of local artists from Rippleroot – a duo known for creating pieces inspired by nature and wildlife. Throughout the cafe are wall paintings that feature vibrant illustrations of birds, flowers, and the sea – inspired by the rich nature and wildlife in Mandai.

A particularly eye-catching artwork is the mural at the entrance, which depicts the Starbucks mythical creature engaging with the natural offerings in the area, further emphasising the cafe’s connection to its surroundings.

Keep a look out for tiny details in the store – such as a sign at the entrance with the year “1971” etched into it. Fun fact: it was the year when both the previous Singapore Bird Park and the Starbucks outlet located there were opened to the public here.
