Abstract

This Study explored how the evolving characteristics of Bruneian cafes provide inclusive avenues for community and cultural experiences among consumers. Specifically, it charted a comprehensive narrative of contemporary cafe environments as informal communicative spaces that facilitate social integration, cultural connection, and potential wellbeing. Context sensitivity driven, the study adopted snowball sampling to determine the participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and on-site observations including artefact documentation in order to capture rich and naturally occurring exchanges within cafe settings.

Overall, the study highlights the potential for a broader understanding of the evolving nature of intercultural relational exchanges and contemporary cultures in Brunei.
