[thomas hooked]

friands, baklava, home made musili (the pre-moistened kind) with poached fruit. home made raspberry bagels, rhubarb tartlets

[Paddy]

[FiST]

[don___quixote]

mm there nice but a wee bit pricey,better off making yer own i think

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Baklava is like bad drugs.. definitely a good way to ensure repeat visits from customers.

[hektor ruiez]

cheese steaks!
good one that, steak, chips and makka cheese...
on a roll

[JE:5]

Tea

meusli is a definite. been eating it for breakfast every day this week. put dried papaya in it and that is kind of disgusting

[Yer_Maw]

vermicelli slice. the king of all cake

[Hertz]

- Ristretto (espresso with less water basically) is a must in every coffee house.
- Melted cheese sandwiches aswell, with pesto and pastrami!
- No 'Nu-Jazz'! That shit makes me wanna go on a fake Gucci/Louis Vitton-bag owner killing spree.

[gypsy_cream]

Falafel!!

yeah, definitely. Play hardcore dancefloor bangers 24 hours a day, whether you're open or not.

There has to be a market for Gabber cafés, I'm sure of it.

[Sheridan]

soup.
always easy and cheap.
potato and leek soup in the winter and gespacho in the summer.

[thomas hooked]

bohren on the stereo.
affagato on the menu. best coffee/icecream concept ever.

[content]

i am not cooking so falafel is out of the question.

definitely gonna do the affagetto

[JonnySpeed]

johnny - are you an angry person? is there something you are holding, something you want to tell us hm? we are all pretty understanding people here, let it out

[JonnySpeed]

na its all flowers, rainbows and magic unicorns except...
- having to go out in Clapham (yawn)
- the thought of a weekend at The Big Chill (shudder)
- ordering white coffee in mock Italian coffee shops (grrrr)

[garew]

I thought of a good name for a coffee shop "crack of dawn"

[JonnySpeed]

I used to go out with a girl called Dawn - did my school buddies have fun with that one.

Baklava is like bad drugs.. definitely a good way to ensure repeat visits from customers.

yum yum! my mum makes best baklava ever... and i make best turkish coffee... hmmm, so maybe i can open one little turkish coffee/baklava place :-)

[love_tempo]

I'd definitely go for the baklava. But don't have turkish coffee if you are near a main road. Once in San Francisco I ran across the road without looking after a rake of that. Nearly got killed :)

Me and the Mrs have a not-very-serious dream of opening a cocktail bar... maybe when we're old and have some savings to blow... but anyway, 'global tapas' is the theme we though for the food. Easy makings, can be anything from pickled herrings to morroccan style little fried fish to kofte meatballs to patatas bravas and tortillas. Basically anything that can be prepared before and is good for people who want to sit and eat/drink for a long time...

[Ladytron]

in my turkish coffee/baklava place i'll hire MDK with all his instruments for live performing. one man show. i know he'll be da best!

:)

im up for it...not sure the customers would appreciate my singing talents though.

[Ladytron]

you never know till you try. but for a start instead of a microphone you can blow up into your harmonika. :-)

I think it's very noble to put some thought into helping career drinkers.
Kind of like a stationary 'meals on wheels'.

green tea.

[love_tempo]

I like Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage or Speak Like a Child which seems to get played often in a some places.

[Ava]

what u should get in your cafe:

sandwiches, but not fancy ones, just like cheese in some bread and ham or salami in bread. maybe with a bit of tomato but nothing else.

samosas.

you need to have stuff like soya milk sorted out.

ginger tea (made from real ginger) and mint tea made from real mint

Some cunt I used to work with nicked my copy of that. He nicked an Oscar Peterson one too.

I'd have a selection casseroles with mashed or roast tatties. I'm the king of casseroles and I love the idea of having a real soup kitchen sort of vibe to an eating establishment... I would say bangers and mash - but then it'd sound like I'm pitching at the upmarket, downmarket grub demographics - which I'm not. I more imagining an English/European version of one of those Turkish /Kurdish places you get in Dalston.

OK, slightly beyond the remit of a coffee shop, but that's what I'd like to do, well running some sort of cafe/bistro type thing...

I think bistro is the cheffy term when your restaurant serves proper grub...

[grobelaar]

In fact the last time I was in Smallfish records (they never seem to have any records that I want) but I did enjoy sitting downstairs in the cafe. Looks like they're baking their own cakes down there - how cool is that - baking cakes in a record shop - the ultimate job surely?
