2. % ARABICA – 1st floor – Central Phuket Floresta

In September 2014, the flagship store of % Arabica was opened in the beautiful historic city of Kyoto, Japan. The company’s mantra is to “see the world through coffee”, which you can now experience at the % Arabica café, in Central Phuket Floresta.
