A Beijing man has taken his love for the hit sitcom, FRIENDS, to a whole new level by creating a replica of the famed coffee shop form the show!
Located on the sixth floor of a Beijing apartment building, the replica isn’t the exact size, but it’s incredibly impressive anyway. The cafe features the same furniture and design as Central Perk from FRIENDS, right down to the classic window sign!
The infamous orange couch that the friends always hung out on faces a television that plays FRIENDS reruns and the owner, Du Xin, is such a huge FRIENDS fan that people actually call him Gunther at the cafe!
The cafe also serves snacks and drinks, but only those that were mentioned on the television show. The menu not only lists the item, but also the exact episode it was mentioned!
Du “Gunther” Xin’s obsession with the classic sitcom has proven successful because he recently opened up a second location in Shanghai. The cafes end up functioning more like FRIENDS fan club headquarters than cafes, but no one really minds.
