Vintage Radio and Coffee: A Melodic Autumn Classic in Coffee
Auto-TranslationDo you know how to pronounce "coffee"? The coffee shop, directly operated by Soundcloud’s Qiu Bo Radio, has opened near the Daqiaotou Yan San Night Market, ready to "Draw the Beat!"
The shop is filled with the ambiance of vinyl records, even featuring an LV black record, sparking curiosity about which trendy era is being played. Starting off as a radio station, Qiu Bo has meticulously designed a space that combines music, coffee, and sweets with a relaxing environment. The "珈琲" (java) in "Qiu Bo Ming Qu Jia Fei" is pronounced "jia bei," which, although derived from transliteration, perfectly suits this unique little shop that truly embodies character and charm.
What makes it distinctive is its strong stylistic identity. The design language goes beyond the commonly recognized Shōwa style; in my opinion, the atmosphere of Qiu Bo Ming Qu is more reminiscent of the post-colonial era. With its menu, shop design, and vinyl wall decorations, the place beautifully blends Japanese colonial aesthetics with a touch of American retro flair, allowing patrons to feel at ease while being immersed in a nostalgic filter of time.
The strong post-war colonial style is evident in the vibrancy of the drinks offered. Unlike typical coffee shops with a limited selection, the SODA drinks here burst with vibrant colors as if there is no tomorrow. The soda green "Melon Ice Cream Soda" and the pink "Strawberry Ice Cream Soda" are perfect for those indulging in sweet treats but not pairing them with coffee—a true delight for fans of dessert and the culinary delights without the worry of acid reflux.
