I love all the figures, buildings and accessories that were released under the Urban Life Series. You can check out photo of the Urban Life Telephone Box in the Gallery section. There will be more photos of Urban Life series to come later.
This is one of my favorite buildings. I love the elegant look of the building, the color is such a sweet and gentle pink, and I like to visit coffee shops! The Cafe Terrace was released in 1988, and the shop serves refreshments such as coffee, pastries, pancakes, sandwiches, burgers and some sort of soda drinks in yellow and red bottles. Yummy. Here are more close-up photos of the building: A separate accessory set was also available to complement the Cafe Terrace. It was called "Osharena Master" set (literal English translation is "stylish/smart" master). I like to think that the accessory set is for the urbane owner/barista of the Cafe Terrace, Master Cream Cat! Inside the box there is a background insert of the Cafe Terrace. Very cute. Here is my Urban Life Cream Cat wearing the smart outfit. He is busy measuring the coffee beans to make fresh coffee for his customers. The promo picture on the box of the Cafe Terrace also showed a cafeteria waitress in a pink pin-striped uniform but I'm not sure whether a separate accessory set for the waitress exists. Mama Cream Cat was the waitress of course. The Cafe Terrace supposedly fits underneath the green Urban Mansion, released in the same year. As I do not have the Urban Mansion, Tomy's Country Manor house stacks on top of the Cafe Terrace just as perfectly: I thought the color scheme of the cream Country Manor suits the pink of the Cafe Terrace rather well.

Amazing photography and setup! Did you print the backround yourself? Or is it a pre-printed poster? Because it seems rather long!

Sylvanako, thank you! Yes, the background is printed on (many) A4 paper. I cut-out the buildings and pasted them onto two large blue cardboard (the blue sky that you see). Some of the buildings and water patterns are repeated. I just had to make sure I pasted at the appropriate place so the background flows logically.

sylvanako, thank you! Yes, I printed the background on (many) A4 papers. I cut out all the buildings and pasted them onto two large blue cardboards (the blue sky you see in the photo). Some of the buildings and water patterns are actually repeated. I just had to make sure that I pasted at the right "joints" so the background flows logically.

Dear - I know it’s been many years but do you have another cafe terrace on sale ? Also I’m looking for the urban series corner house if you have it on sale as well. Thank you.
