This is really nice. I love the bright striking colours and the Cafe sign lettering. Also I like the clothes line on top of the yellow building. Great work!

Great colour and use of pieces.  I especially like the bows as architectural detail and tennis rackets for chair backs.

Cheers!

Great colors! I also like the sign a lot. Do you check whether your digital builds are buildable (i.e. all bricks exist in the used colors)?

[deraven]

Very nice - great use of parts throughout.  I like the cafe sign a lot.  A little concerned that some of the items aren't practical in real bricks, but they do look great here!

Awesome looking MOC! Great use of colors and design choices. I really like that car as well!

I especially like those hanging lights under the colonnade.

Well done!

Now that's a real coincidence! I came across your Mobile Coffee today on EB and here's another MOC by you that you posted on EB today and it's a cafe! 

Now speaking of the MOC, I don't remember seeing any MOCs that striking! Amazing color scheme! A brilliant modular packed with so many details from the bottom to the top! The orange building is definitely my favorite one, it's easy to see how much effort you put for the window decorations and it's really worth!  It took me a while to see the mosaic and the brick-built chairs, the mosaic is really nice but, man, who'd have the idea to use tennis rackets for building a chair?! Congrats for finding such a brilliant parts usage!  

I really love the yellow building too, especially the railings, the usage of tooth pieces which give a pretty nice texture, the brick-built cafe lettering, the clothes line and the hanging lights!

Any pics of the interior?  BTW, this modular keeps growing on me with hours passing, exactly what happened with A Summer in Tuscany by @paupadros! Doesn't this MOC has some similarities with it?

Super modular! For me, the best thing about it is the escalating rooflines. Heck, three different roof levels... It doesn't get much cooler than that! Super nice offsetting on yellow building's the top floor, café signage, chairs, technic plates as wall decoration and mosaic (seems like Life of George-inspired).

Blue on the orange building looks extremely weird at first, but when taken into perspective, Cuban achitecture can be this funky (and cool!) sometimes.

Kind of does, doesn't it? It's definitely tougher to match up yellow and orange without an open space in bewteen like in my model.

very colorful and beautiful building :)

[Littleworlds]

Beautiful! It transports such a happy and warm feeling. Construction and colours make it look very authentic. Lots of interesting details too. The tennis-racket chairs, for example. Clever idea! The only thing I would maybe add would be a busker.

What a colorful flair on a modular piece! I absolutely love the feeling I get looking at this set. It makes me want to jump in and grab something to drink, and then just enjoy the atmosphere outside.

Also, those tennis rackets being used as woven chair backings is just stunningly genius.

Great use of colors, really feels islandy and beachy.

The colors, the style, the design... terrific! Thanks for sharing this.

Wow! The color scheme of this MOC is really lively, yet still pleasant to the eye. Together with numerous details on the house and around it, it really makes you feel the rhythm of Cuba! I love the palm tree, the graffiti on the wall, the pink car (which looks much better here than next to the Diner Modular), the Friends bows (that I just don't know what to do with), the hanging clothes, and the really cool chair design (tennis racket – what an innovative idea!).

Thanks for sharing!
