Doutor, Japan's largest coffee shop chain, recently launched a new branch called the 'Doutor Coffee Farm' that is styled like a coffee farmer's mansion, complete with a terrace and a park area where children and even dogs are invited to play.
In comparison to the majority of its chains, the Doutor Coffee Farm is an upmarket location that offers a selection of more expensive roasts and refreshments. As there are more expensive coffee roasts that may be sampled at the Doutor Coffee Farm, the main dishes served do not cost more than ¥1,000, which is equivalent to about $10.
The Doutor Coffee Farm appeals to the metropolitan consumer who craves a gourmet food experience in a relaxed setting.
