Uncle Q, while resembling a café, uniquely specializes in lemon tea beverages. Within its expansive 200+ square meter space—a rarity for such niche establishments—we aim to cultivate a hub for diverse community groups. This includes accommodating women with strollers, self-study groups, mobile gaming enthusiasts, and community theater goers.

At its core, Uncle Q envisions the community as an extension of one's home, where gatherings are driven by a natural, unspoken agreement that allows individuals to momentarily set aside the external world and find comfort and familiarity. It's designed to be a self-governing space where patrons are not just consumers, but also contributors and creators of their own experiences, fostering a sense of ownership and active participation in a variety of activities.
