COFE+ Robotic Cafe Now Serving at Hongqiao Airport: Elevating Travelers’ Coffee Experience

In March 2025, COFE+ Robot Café, a leading robot cafe brand in China, which has been sold in nearly 40 countries around the world, has landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, becoming a new landmark of technological life noticed by travelers from all over the world with its 24-hour intelligent unmanned operation and quality comparable to that of famous stores. 

As a 4E-class civil international airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is also one of the three major gateway complex hubs in China. Its convenient transportation and huge passenger flow make it an ideal place to showcase advanced technology and service concepts. The arrival of COFE+ Robot Café, representing leading robot cafe Brands, undoubtedly provides airport travelers with a more convenient and high-quality coffee experience.

COFE+ Robot Café(also known as COFEPLUS Robot Coffee Kiosk) is the flagship product of Shanghai Hi-Dolphin Robotics Technology Co. Since its launch in 2018, the café has quickly gained popularity globally due to its advantages of fully automated operation, 24-hour all-weather service, and the elimination of personnel being on duty. This robot café only takes up an area of less than 2.5 square meters, yet it is capable of serving over 50 flavors of drinks, including freshly brewed coffee, milk tea, matcha tea, chocolate drinks, and other milk-based beverages. Travelers can personalize the type of coffee beans, concentration level, sweetness, temperature, flavor, and cup type according to their preferences, and even choose whether they need a cup cover, which meets the consumption needs of different groups of people, different times of the day, and different occasions. Those are impressive achievements among robotic cafe manufacturers around the world.

In COFE+, the intelligent robotic barista will grind the coffee beans finely, make and add ice accurately, stir and froth skillfully, draw milk flowers carefully, sprinkle powder evenly, and finally snap the lid to release the cup, and the whole process will only take a few tens of seconds. This efficient and precise production method not only ensures the taste and quality of coffee but also saves travelers’ valuable time.

In addition to providing high-quality beverage services, COFE+ also demonstrates its powerful intelligent functions. Through the command center of “Store Intelligent Brain”, COFE+ can memorize and recognize consumer preferences, intelligently analyze the consumer decision-making process, and obtain real-time consumer information feedback. This function not only improves consumer experience but also provides valuable data support for merchants. What’s more amazing is that COFE+ can be remotely controlled by one person with one key, realizing the synchronization of 10,000 stores around the world to switch menus, put new products on line, replace recipes and update advertisements, which greatly improves the management efficiency of the chain stores and reduces the operation costs—further solidifying its position as a standout among well-known robot cafe brands.

The success of COFE+ Robot Café cannot be separated from the strong R&D team behind it. This team, comprising more than 30 doctors and master’s graduates from Fudan, CSU, Tongji, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as European and American universities, has accumulated rich experience and technical expertise in fields such as robotics system integration, artificial intelligence, the Internet, and cloud computing. They continue to apply the latest scientific and technological achievements to their products, which enables COFE+ to remain at the forefront of robot cafe Manufacturers and always maintain its leading position in the industry.

The presence of COFE+ not only adds a bright landscape to Kunming Airport, but also leads the global coffee industry into the era of “light store”.

COFE+ is committed to making no more hard service industry in the world; no more loss-making brick-and-mortar stores in the world; and no more hard shopkeepers in the world. Introducing the world to a beautiful era in which well-trained robots serve humanity, humanity becomes the master of life, and everyone enjoys the best products at the lowest prices is becoming a reality.
