Heyah Hivers!!!
(Disclaimer: this is not a food blog lol)
How are you guys? I hope everything's fine ๐
I'm excited to share here my #DesignMusings series, where I could share my insights, reactions, and reviews about my encounters and experiences in design and construction from an amateur architect's perspective. Hope we could exchange ideas here hivers ๐
So where are we going to scout today?
Well, let me take you guys to another world. Say hello to this creative, playful, and unique hangout place, the "Kurimi Milk Tea Bar". If youโve watched the k-drama series W: Two Worlds, then you might be kinda familiar with the interiors of this cafe, which looks like a comic book. I actually discovered this shop on social media and it happened to be near our neighborhood.
Was it worth it?
Well, personally, it sparked curiosity and excitement in me when I saw the picture of the interiors of the cafe. That alone made me decide to really go for it and try (the power of social media guys lol). According to my research, it's the first 2D concept shop here in the Philippines. Apparently, Korea, Japan, and some part of Europe are said to have this kind of concept also. But that didn't hinder why I'm loving this trendy cafe. There are actually three things that I love about it. So here we go!
#1 Concept (2D concept-comic-ish vibe)
When you step into the cafe, youโre like entering another world where you can be the main character. I love how the 2D doodles will make you stand out in the room and let you create your own story in every corner. Isn't it amazing?
The 2D concept makes the cafe more interesting and easy to remember because it's the only one of its kind here in the Philippines. If you're a blogger, then this place is a must-try for taking insta-worthy photos.
#2 Craftsmanship- Doodles all over!
The doodles are amazing! I appreciate the hard work and talent that they put in every corner. All of it is hand-drawn. Each corner is filled with anime doodles, plants, and many more. As you can see from the photo, chairs, tables, and even the aircon were also doodled! I love it! The concept totally captured every single detail.
A big shout-out to the artist who made all the interior illustrations. So lovin it!
#3 Creativity-overload!
The place is not your typical milk tea shop. I like how the design was creatively formed in a way that it involves a new experience, the strong concept, and how it brings challenge to other businesses in the market to be unique and excellent as well. The experience is definitely something that people want to try. No wonder this has been trending on social media.
How about you? Have you ever been in a unique cafe? What features that you liked most about it? Hope to hear yours too hivers!
That would be all for this week, until then! Annyeong!๐

You are so welcome @arkicarls ๐ have an amazing day!
Hey Carla @arkicarls, what a nice surprise! Where have you been, huh? ๐
The "Kurimi Milk Tea Bar" is undoubtedly a unique cafe experience because not only will you be savoring its refreshing beverages, but you'll also be transported to another realm, as you said. I simply admire how the interior designers applied the caricature-inspired concept! ๐
May I know the precise location of this establishment? I'd love to take a sneak peek if I happen to be in the vicinity. ๐
Hello @storiesoferne! Yup, the comeback is real ๐ Excited to share more here.
Thank you for recognizing my blog. I agree with you, I admire the minds of the designers of this place. This cafe is located in Minglanilla, Cebu City. But there are also other branches if you happen to be in Manila.๐
Oh, that's wonderful, thank you! It's not too far away from the city center then. It would be a great idea to stop by that cafe someday during one of my southern Cebu trips. Welcome back, and have lots of fun @arkicarls! ๐
Thanks for the warm welcome (for the 2nd time around) @storiesoferne ๐
Have a good day!โบ๏ธ

Hello @jlufer, thanks for your kind words. Totally agree with you, only a few places are unique and it's hard to find one. It seems like the majority is just the same.
Have a great day!
