Video game cafes are starting to become more common, and the Artnia cafe is testament to that. Located in Japan, this spot takes its inspiration from the popular Final Fantasy franchise, with much of its food and decor infused with elements from this much talked-about game.
The guys over at Rocket News 24 recently checked this place out, and had the full experience through ordering chocolate pancakes. The cakes came with a Final Fantasy character seared on the top, as well as logos on the cutlery and napkins. The ice cream even came with a chocolate sword, although its sharpness was not quite enough to slice the pancakes with.
When it comes to video game cafes, Artnia in Japan certainly does not hold back in terms of themed decor.
