A tiny milk tea bar sits under a peaked glass roof: a pink panelled counter with a till, tall tea dispensers, a cartoon robot drinks machine, rows of cups and syrup bottles, strawberry milk cups, a lit menu board and a yellow neon heart on the wall. With the light on it looks like the busiest tea shop on the street.
A little crafter's folklore: bubble tea fans say the first cup of the day is always the best, and miniaturists like to set one finished drink on the counter as if a customer has just walked away.
Why this kit: if you or someone you know queues for boba, this is the shop to build. The counter, machines and cup details are tiny and colourful, and the clear front panel keeps the finished room dust free.
In the box: pre-cut wooden and plastic parts for the room and furniture, a wooden peaked roof frame, two clear acrylic panels for the roof and front, printed paper sheets for the wall art, signs and packaging, tiny accessories, an LED light with a push-switch base, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries for the light, glue, and tools such as tweezers and scissors.
Part of a connectable room series: line rooms up side by side, stack them, or build an L-shape or a grid to make a whole miniature street or house. Pair it with the Convenience Store, Cat Cafe and Makeup Shop rooms. Build tip: assemble the floor and walls first, furnish the room from the back wall forward, then add the roof frame, slide in the clear panels and fit the light last.
Size: 16.5 x 16.5 x 19.5 cm (6.5 x 6.5 x 7.7 in), 1:24 scale, 94 pieces. A sweet desk display, and a gift for bubble tea lovers and teens who like crafts. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
