Barista Coffee
Visiting Taipei, I saw this brand of coffee for sale in cans, and it is also a chain of coffeeshops. G. said the chain is in India too. Note the design, and how easy it would be for someone who does not read the Roman alphabet to distinguish B AR I STA and STA R B UCKS.

Given that it is an Indian chain, the vast majority of their customers are well able to read the Latin alphabet.
Their branding may not be very original, but they are not actually trying to masquerade as Starbucks.
