Coffee bar - Blue - Kid's Concept

Coffee bar in blue by Kid's Concept. This toy coffee bar features a built-in espresso machine and open shelves so you can set up a little counter at home. It includes a chalkboard for writing the menu of the day, two takeaway mugs with lids, and a pull-out serving hatch next to the coffee machine, so the ‘barista’ can slide the hatch open and hand over the coffee as soon as it’s ready.

Create a mini café experience by writing a menu, taking an order, ‘making’ coffee and handing the cup through the serving hatch. Then switch roles between barista and customer whilst practising simple actions such as ‘paying, serving and saying thank you’. The espresso section features details such as a group head with a portafilter, coffee pods, a pressure gauge and two buttons for ‘grinding’ and ‘brewing’. The buttons make a clicking sound. The worktop has display shelves with decorative holders, so that small pastries for the customer can be displayed where they are easy to reach. Subtle on the outside, with brightly coloured blocks inside the shelves and a cheerful striped front where the customer stands, it also offers space to place extra pastries or small items for sale. On the inside, on the barista’s side, there is an oven and a few extra shelves for storing your coffee bar supplies. It can also serve as a small rack for storing bits and bobs in a child’s bedroom.
