• Have a café
• Contains lots of self-service
• The actual gift shop portion will be relatively small

Totoro Café will be in a small store in London, England that specializes in a smoothie and juice bar, and everything will be completely vegetarian and vegan. It should be in a place with rich greenery, and will have eco-friendly features such as a toilet that flushes by using rainwater instead of water from a reservoir, as drawing a lot of its energy from solar panels that line the roof. The actual size of the building pretty small, and the atmosphere should suggest an easy going feeling amidst the rush of the city around it. Ideally it will be a place to stop in for a snack, or come on your lunch break, or even just hang out with your friends and chat.

Another important fact about Totoro Café is that purchases are based on donations, which can include money or doing small chores around the store. You also have the option of making your own meal, or having one of the staff take care of it for you. There will also be a small shop with various Totoro trinkets, but there will not be a huge emphasis on this part, because the café is definitely the main event.
