China House, Dr. Café Coffee, and Starbucks Coffee are all businesses that sell coffee and cakes. China House is unique as it fuses heritage and modernity within its 5 lounges, while Dr. Café Coffee and Starbucks Coffee are more standardized coffee shop formats with many branches. Key differences are that China House is a multipurpose space while the others solely sell coffee, and China House has a distinctive style with one location compared to the others' many franchised branches with modern designs. Both similarities and differences center around their nature as coffee sellers, styles, and scale of operations.
