Most of us work up quite an appetite after hunting through the sales, and this fast food venue continues to rescue hungry shoppers.
The café is located inside Birmingham's famous Primark store - the biggest in the world - and can seat up to 130 people at a time.
It has been kitted out with a doughnut-shaped swing, fancy seating booths and the floor has been decorated with sprinkle stickers - making it an eventful tourist attraction as well as offering delicious snacks.
If that wasn't enough, customers can relax at their own picnic area and top-up water bottles at the refillable water station.

There is also a self-serve coffee station -just select which hot drink you want - they’ve got all the usual options from cappuccinos to flat whites - and add any extra shots or syrups of your choice.
The coffee will pour when you tap your contactless card.
You’ve also got the option of skipping the queue and ordering ahead by downloading the Gregg’s app.
So you could order while you're shopping and then have your meal ready and waiting for you after, when you're ready to refuel.

People are obsessed with the modern Greggs, loved by the public since 1939, and can't wait to get their hands on a Tasty sausage roll.
One woman wrote: "Definitely want to go and try this out."
"I cannot wait to go in and have a sausage roll," another added.
A third future customer claimed this café was "the stuff of dreams."
However, some people were not so impressed, someone commented: "Can’t wait to get home and see that someone’s touched my clothes with bean and cheese bake fingers!"
"I can't think of anywhere I'd least like to be. Too much, too busy, too noisy," a second agreed.
Primark also partnered up with Greggs in a new clothing line in selected stores in February last year.
Greggs business development director Raymond Reynolds said: "Greggs clothing is something our customers have continually asked for, so it's great that, together with Primark, we can now make our first official range available across the UK.
"We've got some great pieces that we can't wait to share.
"Our 'Tasty by Greggs' cafe will be the first of its kind, and will offer an exciting experience, underpinned by the great products and service that's already delivered across all of our shops."
Opening times are between Monday to Saturday, from 8am-9pm, and on Sunday from 10.30am-5pm.
This comes as another huge Greggs was launched in Leicester Square, London last summer.
