Flaky, buttery croissants are a treat on their own, but imagine enjoying them in a cafe designed like a gym. That's exactly what South Korean dessert and cafe brand NUDAKE has done with its “GYM” themed art cafe in Shanghai, China. The cafe creatively merges the worlds of fitness and indulgence, featuring workout-inspired decor alongside an array of tempting pastries. From dumbbell-shaped desserts to exercise equipment cleverly repurposed as furniture, the space offers a fun and immersive experience that's as visually striking as it is delicious. A video capturing the cafe's unique concept recently went viral, drawing attention from curious foodies and design enthusiasts alike.
This clip, shared on Instagram, shows creative installations in the cafe made in the shape of croissants. There are croissant barbells, croissant treadmills, croissant weightlifting equipment and more creative quirkiness. Even the seating area reminds you of big dinner rolls. Guests can also interact with some of the artistic pieces shown in the area.
