The happy place cafe 2 - advent opening

973 replies

sashh · 30/11/2020 11:32

Thanks to a couple of really nice PMs the cafe is reopening until and including Xmas.

For the regulars

The kitten bees are inside for winter, please watch out for them getting stuck in jam.

F and F seem to be slightly more than friends.

The water feature has become an ice rink.

To anyone new:

This virtual cafe is a covid free zone. There are a number of seats / sofas / wing back chairs.

It opened in the first lockdown, it is an escape from isolating, home ed, mask wearing. It is a happy place, it is the opposite of AIBU.

A different breakfast is served every day and sometime packing up to take to work.

Florence is a French pastry chef, Fernando is a cocktail waiter.

Dogs and children are welcome. Babies can be handed over to regulars to give you a break and we also have cots for them to sleep.

Outside is a cat amusement area with catnip bush and toys.

Kitten bees are kittens the size of bees with wings and their tails can transform into tiny umbrellas.

Hola!

MinnieMountain · 30/11/2020 12:56

Horray!

I’d bring my cat in for cuddles but she’s a hunter.

sashh · 01/12/2020 05:50

Morning all.

Well to get us back in to the swing of things Fernando has a tray of bucks fizz ready and is manning the coffee machine.

Florence has been busy making yummy pastries.

I've fired up the plancher for full English.

@MinnieMountain I'll throw some sausage pices in the garden so you cat can hunt wild sausage.

Morning all

Coffee and delicious pastries for me please. Buck’s Fizz is probably not for a work day.

Thanks @sashh. She’ll enjoy that when she gets off my lap.

mogloveseggs · 01/12/2020 08:35

Morning!
Thanks for the thread @sashh hope you're good?

NoGravyForYou · 01/12/2020 08:48

Morning everyone! Happy 1st of December!!

Buck's Fizz is amazing 🥰

sashh · 01/12/2020 09:39

Hi @sashh!

How have you been keeping?

mogloveseggs · 01/12/2020 15:22

@sashh

Morning Minnie and Mog.

Enjoy the pastries, *@mogloveseggs* full English for you?

Ooh definitely thanks!

mogloveseggs · 01/12/2020 16:51

@NoGravyForYou talk of snow here Thursday/Friday! It was a bloody harsh frost this morning so I wouldn't be surprised

Dancingtomusic · 01/12/2020 22:36

Hiiii Sashh! I missed your cafe!

Nomnomarrgh · 01/12/2020 23:31

Hi, Buck’s fizz for me. Is there a table I can sit at with my newspaper?

mogloveseggs · 02/12/2020 05:55

Morning
Not as cold today thank goodness
Mind if I put the kettle on sashh?

sashh · 02/12/2020 06:02

Morning all.

It seems a little colder this morning so I made porridge. Florence has baked some fresh baguettes and while we were closed some lovely apricot jam.

@Nomnomarrgh for paper reading I recommend the wing back chairs by the fire.

@mogloveseggs no problem with the kettle but Fernando is itching to use the posh coffee machine.

OP posts:

mogloveseggs · 02/12/2020 06:10

I'll let him get on with it then and wait for a delicious latte
Please can I have porridge with apple and cinnamon?
How are you this morning?

Dancingtomusic · 02/12/2020 06:11

Morning everyone, I thought it was extra cold this morning as my house feels cold.

Porridge will definately warm me up. Good idea Sashh.

NewtoHolland · 02/12/2020 06:16

You had me at kitten bees!
I think I will lounge on a sofa this morning and enjoy my porridge under a comfy throw.
Fernando, a large latte with oat milk and vanilla and almond syrup please 😊
Heavenly

mogloveseggs · 02/12/2020 06:43

I'm on my own thinking it's warmer
We had a harsh frost yesterday and none today. Snow tomorrow though apparently.

sashh · 02/12/2020 07:00

Does anyone want a jaffle?

It's an Australian thing, free jaffle to anyone who knows what it is.

OP posts:

MinnieMountain · 02/12/2020 07:03

Morning all

I’m another keen customer of Fernando’s. A white americano please.

The apricot jam sounds very tasty, especially when snuggled up in a big chair.

We have had a frost but it seems warmer today too.

mogloveseggs · 02/12/2020 07:10

I have no idea @sashh

Does looking it up count @sashh?

Frownette · 02/12/2020 07:29

I'm another one who wants fernando.

Strong coffee with triple shots of brandy please.

Bloody hell last week was stressful.

sashh · 02/12/2020 07:50

Looking up is fine, I came across it on Australian masterchef
