| The faces are printed on the coffee for real, it's not an app trick! |
"Have you guys heard of this place?" our boss asked as he walked into the office yesterday.
We looked up from our work. Selfie Coffee? "I think I have," I replied, thinking it was just some name another cafe came up with to attract teenage selfie-snapping girls.
A quick google search told me otherwise, as my boss explained. The coffee in this Selfie Coffee cafe had your face (your selfie) quite literally printed on top of your drink!
It didn't take us long to hop into the car for a visit. Apparently, this is the first cafe in Malaysia with such a feature and perhaps in the whole world as well.
Their menu.
I ordered a cappuccino before heading to the side of the counter where they had stationed a laptop and a phone for you to take your selfie, that was then printed on your coffee.
Remember to choose your most flattering angle!! Hehe
Notice the three photo guidelines they had on the wall. A bit like taking passport photos, I suppose, haha, but in this case, you were allowed to be creative if you wanted to
(we weren't ><).
What is more, if you went as a couple, you could even take a selfie together and both your faces would be printed on your drink!
The cafe was decorated in the signature retro style, with naked bulbs dangling from ropes on the ceiling as well as in a pipe-like-fashion on the wall, as can be seen in the photo above.
There were also pens hanging from cups suspended with hangers on the wall, and being me, I got busy while waiting for my coffee.
When our drinks arrived, we had a masterpiece on the table.
Okay, maybe not, considering how childish my doodles look. :P
While drinking...
The coffee wasn't too bad; quite milk-heavy but I like that
.

And what was left of my coffee...
When we returned to the office, I told another colleague about it. She didn't believe it, until I showed her the photos.
Her eyes widened, and asked, "So, it means that I'll be drinking my own face?? Can I put the face of my enemy on the drink instead?"
I laughed, and said, "Well, if you don't mind having coffee with an enemy, why not?"
Beware of the aftermath poison stain, it scares people.
Haha, definitely joking about it being poison (I heard that it's something harmless, will have to ask them next time), but black lips isn't something everyone is used to seeing.
Will you be trying it out for yourself?
:)
