Just when you thought the Primark x Disney cafe was enough to send you over the edge, Primark have opened a Friends-themed cafe is opening in one of their Manchester stores. Oh. My. Gaaaaahd.
Round up the Ross to your Rachel and the smelly cat to your Phoebe, because the new cafe comes with New York-inspired drinks and giant coffee cups, as well as limited edition Friends themed goodies, which will be exclusively sold from the branch.
That's not all, either. Prepare to receive the whole Central Perk experience, with a replica of the iconic orange sofa, Friends memorabilia and enough coffee to boot. Sadly, Gunther is not included.
The cafe opened on Wednesday, 12th June, with Tim Kelly, Primark's director of new business development, commenting:
"We are hugely excited to be bringing the first branded Central Perk Café in fashion retail in the UK to the British high street. Customers can relax and have fun there whilst also enjoying our amazing fashion at amazing prices in our Manchester store."
The cafe is opening in partnership with Warner Bros. in honour of the show's 25th anniversary. Just months ago, Primark opened the doors to its Disney Cafe in Birmingham.
It's the only licensed Disney eatery outside of its resorts and cruise ships, and it's a Disney fan's dream. We're talking Mickey Mouse themed food, interactive tables with games, and Primark's Disney collaborations everywhere.
