Highlights of Rolife Simon’s Coffee Shop

There are two areas in the miniature coffee shop.

The cozy inside has a nostalgic feel about it. The bar is adorned with copper-colored retro coffee pots, and on the shelves behind, there are miniature accessories such as jars of coffee. Look at the blackboard to see what delicious beverages are on offer.

In his cozy spot, you can imagine sitting on one of the barstools, chatting to Simon while he pours your favorite beverage. Over the bar, hang three retro crystal lamps which give a friendly, welcoming glow to the miniature coffee shop.

To the right is a small open-air area where you can sit at a coffee table on a beautiful summer’s day. A couple of dainty coffee cups on the table add to the ambiance. This area also has a vintage piano, which invokes memories of the past.  

There are many other miniature accessories in the coffee shop to enjoy. Ancient books adorn the shelves, an old radio sits on top of the piano, inviting you to switch it on, and vases with flowers increase the homely feeling of this DIY miniature house kit.
