Stunning Cafes Will Make You Feel Like You’re Stepping Into a Comic Book

Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? In an incredibly decorated Russian coffee shop, the answer is a bit of both.

Bw has locations in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but it’s not the only place offering fantasy fans a two-dimensional dining experience.

Of course, for anyone who came of age in the 1980s, this particular “toontastic” mix of dimensions is already a familiar part of the pop culture landscape.

Like their 21st century counterparts, Face me It’s set in a coffee shop, which leaves us wondering, does too much caffeine lead to comic book fantasies, or does life really mimic art?
