Exclusive Food and Drink Collaborations
The experience brings together several popular food and beverage brands to create a menu inspired by Grogu and the wider Star Wars universe.
Visitors can enjoy themed drinks and desserts from Bread Ahead, Bubble CiTea and PerfectTed, with matcha-led creations forming a central part of the menu.
Alongside the café experience, fans can also browse a dedicated retail installation featuring official Star Wars and Grogu merchandise from MINISO UK.
