Your ideal cafe?

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Krusty, May 23, 2005.

  1. Quality coffee, good breakfasts (any silly burger can grill a bugger)
    and extended credit.
    Big car park.

  2. That I don't agree with - but what *was* interesting, on that
    eye-opening Jamie Oliver school food thing, was how the asthmatics and
    other assorted wheezers didn't need their breathing apparatus once they
    were eating real food.

    So I'd agree that, maybe, some of it is because the silly buggers don't
    eat right in the first place.

    Spend a lifetime eating processed sterilised food, and don't be
    surprised if your immune system starts taking an extended holiday.

  3. Well, that's the point, innit? Loads of cafes don't serve good coffee,
    so we want one that *does*.

    Why would you want glassblowing in a cafe?

    Mebbe some of it, but I saw what happened to an ex with a nut allergy
    when she inadvertantly bit into something with nuts in. I could
    literally see her lips swelling in front of my eyes[1], up to the point
    the projectile vomiting started. It scared the crap out of me.

    [1] I just *know* I'm gonna regret that sentence.

    I've haven't been to a cafe, ever, that makes a decent cup of tea. The only
    times I've managed to get a bearable one is when I ask them to leave the tea
    bag in, and wait at least five minutes before drinking it.

    Rumour has it one of the big coffee chains (Starbucks?) will lend you
    all the fancy machines for making the stuff as long as you buy the
    ingredients from them. If true, this could well lead to you getting
    your wish.

    Expect? No. Care? Yes. Not knowing is the norm. Knowing is the places we
    keep going back to.
    Tell that to the people that need an adrenaline shot after eating a peanut.

    I think most coffee suppliers will, even the ones that aren't shit.

    So that'd include a fried option then.

    This is a cafe, taken over by someone with no previous experience, who
    I imagine won't have any other staff apart from the owner to start with.

    Do you really think a capuccino/non-common food/jazz music idea will be
    suitable?

    Any if any bloody cafe played jazz (or any other music) I'd give it a
    *wide* birth. Save that for your wine bars.

    What is the target audience? Where is the caff located?

    CCTV watching the carpark, with the screen inside visible from most parts of
    the caff. This can probably be done relatively cheaply.

    That pretty much sums it up.
    heh, I'm with you on that one, *especially* if it's jazz! There may be
    scope for a cafe by day, bistro by night setup as the license runs til
    11.30pm, but that'll be a long way off.
    Mainly local office workers I suspect, with a few builders & 'ladies
    who lunch' thrown in for good measure. The largest office building in
    Swindon is just down the road, & happens to be the company where SO's
    worked for the last 15 years, so there's definitely scope for a bacon
    roll delivery round too.
    In the centre of Wroughton, just south of Swindon.

  18. Big chest on the waitress.


    Another big chest to keep the money in. The money you'll be hemorrhaging
    out the door.

  19. ****; I parsed that as 'manly strangers', and yet, in context it made
    perfect sense.
