On May 11, in Shanghai, at 246 Nanchang Road, there is a 1 square meter coffee shop called "Post Office Coffee Shop". The owner is a post-90s boy and a salesperson. The coffee shop shares the house number with the shops nearby, and there are no doors in the coffee shop. The young men born in 1993 all get in and out from under the counter. When there are no customers, he will sit quietly in front of the shop to rest. The coffee shop can only accommodate one person, a coffee machine and a refrigerator, and mirrors are installed around it to make the space look a little larger. Of course, all the coffee sold in the coffee shop can only be taken away. It is said that the post-90s boss also plans to apply for the Guinness Book of Records of the world's smallest coffee shop.

The owner of the post-90s coffee shop, surnamed Song, has been running a "post office coffee shop" here for more than a year, producing and selling 20 to 30 cups of coffee a day and 50 to 60 cups in good times. As for why the store has the word "post office", it is because the boss can provide stamps and envelopes to post the letter, customers can also ask the boss to take pictures, or they can leave the letter in the store for themselves in the future. It is understood that although this shop is small, the monthly rent is thousands of yuan, but it has basically made ends meet for more than a year. The young man also has his own "coffee dream", or "entrepreneurial dream". He hopes that the "post office coffee shop" can make a brand and popularity, and will be able to open a chain branch in the future, because "starting a business" only needs 1 square meter!
