Flever Time of Coffee — DIY Miniature Room Kit

Time of Coffee is a multi-level café built into what looks like a converted warehouse corner: brick, exposed beams, a mezzanine reached by an iron stair, plants spilling off every ledge. It has been in the range for years and we still have not found anything to change.

Build it back wall first, then the mezzanine, then the furniture — the instructions insist on that order for good reason. The coffee machine, the cups and the pastry case are separate pieces, and the plants take about as long as the architecture. It is a weekend, not an evening.

It sits mid-shelf of 35 room kits, builders have left it 4.3 out of five across 1,825 notes, and it is in stock as we write this.

We design every room the way we design our dollhouse kits: a story first, then the furniture that story needs, then the boxes of loose parts — flowers, jars, a folded newspaper — that make Time of Coffee look lived in. Everything in this DIY miniature house kit is cut in our own workshop, and we build one before we pack any.
