— September 23, 2023 — Business
The Central Perk Coffeehouse is a real life version of the iconic Friends cafe from the Central Perk Coffee Co. that promises to provide avid fans and caffeine fanatics alike with a cozy experience. The coffeehouse is designed to emulate what viewers saw on-screen in Friends to bring fans back to the experience of watching the cast convene in the cafe. The cafe will be accented on the exterior with two patios alongside a street side parklet, while the Orange Sofa room is inspired by the recognizable couch that the original on-screen location featured prominently.
