Read MoreI can tell you quite confidently that if I was cruising down the road and I spotted this cafe by builder Norton74 I would be tempted, in fact I might not even be able to override the autopilot of my truck. I love diners like these, it’s my favorite breakfast. Give me some bacon, scrambled eggs and morning fries any day of the week! Oh, but I’ll take that with tea please.
When I first looked at this wonderful MOC by LEGO 7 I thought it was an official set, and that got me wondering, what made me think that? Is it the building style? The photography?

There's so many things to love about this marvelous multi-level building by builder snaillad that I don't know where to start. The architecture is of course the stand-out feature.

And as for the coffee shop, I'll just invite you to click through and look at the high res photos, it's packed with detail and just lovely.
