I don't see any unusual tricks of perspective. A better name might be "paper cafe" rather than 2D cafe as it reminds me of paper dolls and paper dollhouses. https://www.amazon.com/Qaba-Folding-Cardboard-Coloring-Playh...

That thing is insanely expensive! Is there something special about it to justify the price tag?? I feel like I'd be cheap and buy some poster board and make kids build their own(?)

It's some random amazon seller massively overcharging. Nothing too surprising.

Does every restaurant have to appeal to the Instagram generation now?

Only the ones you see trending in feeds.

Just another cafe serving sugar junk food in single use plastic cups.

Could as well put up a proper IT version: https://i.imgur.com/km9TGBh.jpg

In a world where most IT offices these days are as sterile and bland as possible I would applaud a coworker that went out and did this.

This is quite similar to a room in Meow Wolf (https://santafe.meowwolf.com/). That one was quite well done, down to painted shadows in spots where real shadows were cast from the lighting.

Looks cool. I'll have to go check it out.

Reminds me of the sets from "The Fabulous World Of Jules Verne"

And of course more recently Sin City

Looks more like cel shading with outlines rather than 2d (though both terms are used interchangeably for anime and cartoons).

In certain circles, "3D" means the real world and "2D" means the opposite. 3D models are "2D", for example.
