The cafe screams nostalgia with their old-school trinkets, including old metal signs, a rotary phone, and a gramophone. Vintage toy collectors will also be impressed with their collection of antique toys and metal tin-based robots with the likes of Ultraman, 1963 Gigantor, and even Astro Boy.

There’s also a display case filled with old game consoles and childhood games such as View-Master. According to the owner, Donovan, all the toys here are part of a shared collection belonging to him and four of his friends. Interested customers can buy the toys if something catches their eye.
