In the Ikea in Houston, you can go in the front door or the out door, and there's a hall (with the food) connecting the two. Also, there are multiple shortcuts in the walls, several doors or doorways that go through a wall that keeps you from having to walk through the whole place. It can be a pain if the missus wants to go see all of the options or what you need is at the farthest point upstairs from the front door but there's usually a pretty direct route if you know where you're going.
