LOOPLINE COFFEE, A TRAIN CAFÉ

 Hii architecture and design, how are you all? I hope you had a great week. This time I went to a coffee shop that went viral. You won't believe me if I tell you about this cafe. LOOPLINE COFFEE is a Japanese-themed cafe. That's right, I'm writing about Japan again haha. In more detail, this cafe uses Japanese train stations as its inspiration, the vibe is very thick with Japanese culture. Isn't Japan never boring? There are always interesting things about the Sakura Country. From the outside, we can only see an ordinary building, just a striking neon green paint. But after entering, we can feel that we are in a Japanese station.  From the entrance, the atmosphere inside the station is already very pronounced, there are several tables and chairs arranged neatly lengthwise. All the buildings inside are painted in green. Very bright and bold. From the left side, there is already a service center, where visitors can order their own food and drinks, because this place applies self service. But even so, this place still has employees who are ready to help visitors.  Before entering the train, the side of the carriage is also provided with rows of long tables and chairs, so visitors can enjoy food and drinks there while chatting. Not only that, but there is a sign above it.   If we go upstairs again, we are already at harajuku station. Similar to downstairs, on the outside of the train car they also put long tables and chairs for visitors. Still in neon green and bright colors.    Going inside the train , I really felt like I was inside the train. The details given were just right. There is a train route on the upper side of the carriage, not forgetting the advertising posters in the middle of the top. Don't forget the Hand Strap, a handle for standing passengers.  Not only that, to make it feel like the train is running, the right side of the train carriage window is provided with an animation. Which makes the train feel like it's actually running.  What distinguishes the train carriage in this cafe from a real train carriage is the addition of a round table in front of each seat. So visitors can sit inside the carriage while enjoying their food and drinks comfortably.  On the other side, there is a large beverage machine. Unlike most cafes that provide plastic cups or glasses for their drinks. Loopline coffee provides drinks in transparent cans.  The food itself is quite varied, and I ordered the bread with cream and fries.  Since Loopline Coffee is still a viral spot, there were quite a lot of visitors, so it was a bit difficult for me to take photos or relax for longer. Loopline Coffee now has several branches, some of which are not too far from where I live. For a coffee cafe, this is very good. What's unfortunate is that the prices and drinks are quite expensive compared to other cafe standards. Because the size of the drink is small. Hope you like this, and look out for my next architecture and design. 🤭 ------- -------
