Modern Indochina · Cafe

A cafe in a long, narrow shophouse. The wooden folding doors on the ground floor facing the street are fully open, with a few low wooden stools and round tables placed on the arcade. The bar counter has a dark green lacquered finish with brass accents, topped with a row of Vietnamese aluminum drip coffee makers. The walls are mottled mustard yellow, adorned with a small lacquer painting. Further inside, a wooden staircase leads to the second floor. Avoid: a white Nordic-style cafe, using an espresso machine as the main feature, all high chairs for seating, painting the walls a new, uniform color.

一間開在窄長店屋裡的咖啡館。一樓臨街的木摺門全開,幾張矮小的木凳與圓桌擺到騎樓;吧台是墨綠色的漆面配黃銅,上面排著一排越南的鋁製滴濾咖啡杯;牆面是斑駁的芥末黃,掛著一幅小漆畫;往內走是一道通往二樓的木樓梯。避免:做成北歐風的白色咖啡館、使用義式咖啡機當主角、座位全是高腳椅、把牆面刷成全新均勻的顏色。
