Walter's coffee shop location is a cafe inspired by the Breaking Bad television show that serves caffeinated drinks, juices and food inspired by series for dedicated fans. The cafe features servers dressed up as [meth lab workers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-sips-mad-scientist-soda-lab) and a restaurant location inspired by the sets of the show located in New York City's Brooklyn area.

The Walter's cafe is the creation of Deniz Kosan that is an amalgamation of all of the themes of the show as well as several of the characters. The coffee shop is designed to look like the meth lab featured on the show, along with the servers dressed up in protective suits and head gear while they prepare the coffee, drinks and desserts in lieu of narcotic substances.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out
