While it’s smaller in scale compared to the large franchise cafes nearby, it’s still a suitable size for grabbing lunch and having a brief chat.

“Eland’s Cup Holder Collaboration”

One of the most eye-catching features was the collaboration with Eland for a “cup holder.” It’s likely that Eland produced it themselves and provided it in collaboration with the cafe. It’s a clever idea that brings to mind “Eland” once again.

Running a cafe, it’s natural to provide cup holders, but the idea of incorporating advertising for Eland’s program in this way is truly a clever and innovative one. It’s a good idea that could be explored in collaboration with other cafes as well.
