Its rooftop is filled with pink pool chairs, a storage covered in purple flowers, a large unicorn tube and Totoro plush laying around the floor. Its walls often change colors—it was bright with red, orange, yellow, green and blue, and now it’s baby pink and white. And yes, Contoyner’s one of those places people visit for an Instagram-worthy shot, and for that, no one needs to feel shy—make a cute face, weird face or whatever, cause you know the person behind you’s making a cuter, weirder face right now. Everyone’s hugging the plushes, holding rainbow-colored drinks, climbing up the hot pink ladder and sit on the tube. And it’s all okay, cause believe it or not all of the objects are props prepared for the cafe’s “kidult” customers. Before they come up to this sunny rooftop, the playful patrons spend some time on the first floor every time they visit, cause there’s an endless array of animation figurines including Pikachu, Monster Inc. Toy Story and The Nightmare Before Christmas. You’ll even find high-quality Super Mario Bros. sets, Kermit the Frog wearing a Supreme t-shirt and the pervert bear Ted. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to describe this place as a “kids’ cafe” for adults, really—Contoyner’s filled with childlike laughter rather than any serious conversation anyway.
