Taupo New Zealand
Commentators have called this the "World's Coolest McDonald's" and they wouldn't be wrong for saying so: a DC-3 airplane inherited from a car dealership that used to occupy this plot of land was turned into a seating area for customers.
McCafe - Australia
When Starbucks arrived down under during the Sydney Olympics trying to push the same sweetened drinks that had won them the American market the locals rejected the brand. Within a decade the worldwide leader in coffee had racked up over $100 million in losses and closed 70% of their stores in Australia.
Melbourne
Though McDonald's is also an American chain its coffee subsidiary is not - McCafe was born in Melbourne doling out the Flat Whites and Long Blacks that locals preferred to drink. Australian coffee culture has since been exported around the world with over 4000 McCafe locations in 60 countries.
