Sembo was on steroid lately. The leading clone brick brand which also known as Sheng Yuan was busy churning out sets after sets of LEGO inspired or in-house designed ones. Today we would take a look the Sembo 601093 Modular Coffee Shop which came with 2095 bricks and 12 minifigures to play with. It also came with LED lighting. The reviews was possible with contribution from Maimen.

Open Box of Sembo 601093 Modular Coffee Shop

Standard practice of China clone brick was to have a large box with a handle. But over-packaging wasn’t environmental friendly.

Lots of empty space for inner boxes, what a waste!

The base plate was 48 x 48, larger than standard LEGO Modular Building which use 32 x 32 studs. One sticker sheet and another transfer decal sheet.

Instruction to assemble 12 minifigures.

Sembo always made top quality minifigures. Though we wish the Coffee Shop logo could be “Mermaid”.

Building Steps of Sembo Coffee Shop

First up, we need to build the delivery truck. If you follow the instruction and installed the wheels as per photo below, they would be too tight.

This was the right way of assembling the wheels.

So many small pieces of smooth tiles testing our patience.

Four pieces of printed parts here, which graffiti mural. But this was for the ground floor, which kind of awkward.

Smooth surface big white pieces.

Take a group photo of the ground floor.

Part of the reason for higher prices for this set was due to large number of 8 x 16 plates.

Large numbers of 2 x 2 smooth tiles.

Using stickers to decorate inner details of the coffee shop.

The window seats.

Cashier to order the coffee.

Dimples on the door frame set.

Something to note here, there manual don’t have clear instruction on how to install the LED lighting. We just improvised ourselves and the numbers were labelled for convenient sake.

No. 2 LED light on top of the cashier. As for the wiring placement, apply your creativity. .

Let’s skip straight to the second floor. Sembo put Mermaid logo on the mugs. Those who wanted to collect Starbucks mugs shall consider this set.

Flowers for decoration.

Wiring the No. 1 LED light here.

Summary of Sembo 601093 Coffee Shop

The building process was a bit frustrating because of repetitive steps. Also some area could be built first before assemble together. Because there was no supporting pillar in the middle of the Coffee Shop, it was challenging building upper floor. The bricks were typical of Sembo quality of tight and hard.
