This capsule coffee shop was opened by a group of capsule enthusiasts. The shop hopes visitors can have fun together, whether it's the anticipation when turning the capsule or the joy of collecting them. The menu is brainstormed by the in-house baristas—both the drink names and recipes are uniquely created by them, and may be updated from time to time, ensuring customers always get a delightful surprise.

During the interview, the reporter also tried the capsule coffee and got a limited-edition Red Bean Ice from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. Hearing the name, one might expect something like a shaved ice dessert, but it turned out to be an affogato—with green tea ice cream topped with espresso and red beans for sweetness and flavor. It’s a drink that tastes like a dessert but isn’t too sweet, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Of course, how could a capsule coffee shop lack capsule-themed decorations? The counter area is filled with cute little capsule figurines, healing your heart as you enjoy coffee and meals!
