Photo of 'Sunbucks' at Yu Yuan

SunbucksCoffee011507.jpgAround a week ago, we typed this:

Shanghaiist is reminded that when he first set foot in the city four years ago, there was a Moonbucks cafe situated in the Yu Gardens. Does anyone happen to have a picture of the logo? Send it to us, and we'll take you out to coffee (at the real Starbucks of course).

Well, looks like we owe Shanghaiist reader Helene Cormier a cup o' joe (and it also looks like we were wrong about the name 'Moonbucks.') Helene said she took this photo at the end of 2003.

Thanks, Helene!

    Makes that "landmark" IP case for Starbucks against xing ba ke seem even more of a joke.



    But hey, if the coffee is good and the price is cheap, I'll be there.

    I remember visiting Qingdao and seeing a coffee shop called Starsbuck. Not sure if it is still there but someone made a record of it on flickr.
