What's it like to combine a coffee shop with a beverage factory?

Foshan's local coffee brand Gotlot (Corner) teamed up with Yeo's factory to transform a 500m² beverage workshop site, merging a production space filled with old industrial charm with a coffee shop, breathing new life into the old factory building~

A Legacy of Beverages

Yeo's was founded in 1900. For friends from the southern regions, Singapore, and Malaysia, Yeo's sugarcane juice, water chestnut cooler, herbal cooler, and black soy milk are filled with childhood memories.

Gotlot (Corner Coffee) was established in 2017. From pushing a coffee cart to sell pour-over coffee in a corner of a bookstore, to creating a dream collaboration with Yeo's to build a coffee workshop, Gotlot now has over 10 stores~

Preserving Industrial Heritage

The shop retains the beverage production line from the 80s and 90s. Beverage filling machines, capping machines, conveyor belts, and packing machines—every corner tells the story of the factory's former bustling operations.

Innovative Beverage Creations

In addition to perfectly integrating the coffee bar with the production line, Gotlot also combines Yeo's classic beverages with coffee, launching "Corner Water Chestnut Cooler" and "Corner Aloe Vera Cooler."

There are also Gotlot's signature Yuanyang (coffee + milk tea) special blends: "Yuanyang Amber Red," "Yuanyang Yellow Meimei," "Yuanyang Coconut White," and "Yuanyang Black Zuo Zuo."

Stir well before drinking! Stir well before drinking! Stir well before drinking!

Coffee paired with aloe vera bits is truly refreshing!!!!!

Silky and rich Yuanyang coffee paired with water chestnut bits and water chestnut jelly creates an incredibly rich texture!!!!!

Millet chili + pineapple juice + coconut water + coffee

Wow! Seriously! That texture! One sip will definitely refresh your mind!

It's spicy! Spicy! Spicy!

Signature Coffee Offerings

"Yuanyang Amber Red"

The tea base is very strong, and the coffee is also very rich. Paired with black soy milk (I think), the entire coffee drink spells "RICH" in capital letters!

"Small Orange Blend Americano"

Using a blend of Colombian + Ethiopian beans, this Americano is refreshing and cuts through richness. The gentle acidity carries nutty notes, with a slight smoky sensation in its rich body~

Christmas Atmosphere

Happening during the Christmas season, the shop has prepared many small Christmas decorations, including a brick-built Christmas tree 🎄 (industrial, eco-friendly, and beautiful!).

They also thoughtfully put Christmas hats on the bottled drinks (decorative) on the conveyor belt, so adorable ahhhhh!

Besides the indoor area, the "factory" also features a large outdoor dining area. Outdoor displays include "retired" handling robotic arms, as if quietly telling stories of the factory's past~
