Dumb Starbucks is a parody coffee shop mocking Starbucks, the seattle-based coffee giant, opened this weekend in Los Angeles and is quickly becoming a sensation on social media.
The coffee shop logo looks almost identical to the Starbucks original logo with the exception of the word ‘dumb’ being prefixed to the title and menu items.
Dumb Starbucks owners said, ‘Although we are a fully functioning coffee shop, for legal reasons Dumb Starbucks needs to be categorize as a work of parody art. So, in the eyes of the law, our ‘coffee shop’ is actually an art gallery and the ‘coffee’ you’re buying is considered the art. But that’s for our lawyers to worry about. All you need to do is enjoy our delicious coffee!’
According to Starbucks, they have nothing to do with the new shop, but they’re looking into the matter.
Customers have been waiting in lines for hours at Dumb Starbucks Coffee to get their hands on a cup part novelty, part collector’s item. Dumb Starbucks has a Twitter account @dumbstarbucks.
