“Everything fits together well and the result is simply stunning! Many ingenious techniques are used throughout. However, I would have loved more interior detail. A lovely selection of brown, red, tan, gray, and much surprisingly blue. A decent variety including plates,... More windows, doors, slopes, and arches.”

“he Cafe Corner's building styles have been eclipsed by the Modular Buildings which have followed; which contain more detail and interior decorations. Since the Cafe Corner arrived; Lego has given us a plethora of sets aimed for their teenage and adult fans, all of which have... More built on the ideas first showcased in The Cafe Corner.”
