Shenzhen's first coffee-themed post office opens

Shenzhen's first coffee-themed post office opened at the Science and Technology Park in Nanshan District on Tuesday, initiating a new business trend by integrating post services with coffee retailing.

The postal service hall is no longer a traditional one, providing a new scene for citizens to socialize and experience postal culture. In the shop, postal elements can be seen everywhere, with stamps, postcards and cakes in the shapes of mailboxes, mail carts and an old-style postman bicycle exhibited.

Visitors can also find a menu designed like a stamp and “mascots” wearing green postal uniforms there, bringing customers a distinctive experience. It also offers traditional postal services like mail and parcel deliveries.

The store provides consumers with a wide variety of coffee to choose from, with prices ranging from 16 yuan (US$2.34) to 58 yuan. In addition, there are many cakes and desserts to choose from.
