The centrepiece of this set is a mint-green toy machine shaped like a coffee maker. No coffee is involved: you push Play-Doh through it and it comes out as a coil in a little cup. The box adds 'Dual Color' - the machine presses two colours of compound at once, so the swirls come out two-toned.
The rest of the set is about what goes on the counter. The box shows moulds for biscuits, cupcakes and doughnuts, small plates to arrange them on, a clear display counter to show the pastries off in and a tray to hand an order over in. That is where the real play starts: ordering, serving, settling up and round again.
The packaging states 20 pieces, 8 cans of Play-Doh with 454 grams of compound in total, and an age marking of 3+. The Hasbro article number is F5836; the box carries the name in five languages, from 'Super Colorful Café Playset' to 'Mon super café'.
A gift for a child who likes kneading and likes playing shop just as much, and a set an adult sits down to without any effort - if only to place an order.
