From consumer to operator, Kyle has many insights. For example, toilets must be clean and refreshing, and they do not hesitate to invest in high-end equipment; if old objects that can be rebuilt are not thrown away at will, old things can have new life. In this way, the business space of three floors is carefully carved out, and each floor has its own theme.

The first floor is the coffee bar and seating area, the industrial MIX American country style is adopted, the second floor is netted with a complete set of old-fashioned car seats, the face-lift gives new life, the seating area is full of themes, and on the other side is a long table for group gatherings, the whole space can be said to be a modern retro style. In the third floor and a half open space, the abandoned iron rolling door is turned into a car track, so that children can have a good time, while adults can enjoy the street view and enjoy the lively city view by the fence.

The theme that runs through the 82mm cafe is the TOMICA matchbox car, which has been collected by Kyle for many years and has more than a thousand TOMICA matchbox cars.
