A cafe in Australia is helping 'Aladdin' fans bring their fantasies to life by transforming the Grounds Café [pop-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/short-n-sweet-cafe) into the fictitious city from the movie.

To celebrate the debut of the new [live-action 'Aladdin' film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walt-disney-world), the Grounds Café in Sydney was transformed into a space inspired by "Agrabah, a fictitious port city of mystique and enchantment where anything is possible." With gold archways and outdoor lanterns, you'll feel just like Princess Jasmine. The restaurant even has a faux barn set up with bales of hay and a real camel. Naturally, the cafe is also serving up [enchanted drinks and treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cauldron-nyc) such as the 'Magic Carpet Ride' cocktail, the 'Friend Like Me' tea, and a pistachio sponge cake called 'I Wish for More...Cake.'
