Cafe Society

See what the postman brought me... it's my London Cafe Book. I found Book 2 at a bargin corner a year ago. I love the layout and the idea of the book, so I decided to get Book 1 as well.



This is not just a picture book. It covers everything from coffee, tea, food, decor to quotes from owners, staff and customers. It also includes recipes of signature food from each cafe.

Here's a poem from the Cafe Society at The Poetry Place (22 Bettherton Street, London WC2H 9BU)

eat in or take away
on the fo al fresco
mobile phone anxiety
no sugar piety
expresso plotted coups
table waiting queues
froth without sediment
tables without condiment
starters that don't
desserts that won't
food to die for
food to diet for
and when you
have digested
the menu
could i see it please
but firstly, two teas?
