Fuckoffee

[Trainday]

The name of of a coffee shop I walk past daily.

Brilliantly clever fun play on words, or somewhere you'd avoid?

It's always very busy and according to colleagues serves excellent coffee.

As another PP said , it's meat to be ''For Coffee''...I didn't 'get it' either, and I usually love a good pun.

Haha. We'll offer each other a coff, or if making decaff, it'll be a fake coff, otherwise known as a foff. For the days when we're just not sure, there's half coff, half foff, which is known as facoff. So yes, I'd go to Fuckoffee if it's good!

Looks like they have other branches, but all in east London and again areas I would describe as ‘edgy’ slightly rough but also hipster cool. I might raise an eyebrow if they had one Hampstead but less so in Nottinghill. I assume they know their clientele.

I wouldn’t necessarily avoid it, but it actually sounds slightly dated to me, and definitely wanna-be-hipster.
There were quite a few places with similar names around 15 years ago.

It's not clever or funny - just a bit meh. If it was the only place around I wouldn't let it put me off getting a coffee. If there was a choice I'd go somewhere else. Crass humour doesn't make me feel like they'd make a nice cup of coffee and a tasty baked good. Don't know why - just doesn't really go together. I prefer a more classy or cosy vibe.

Wouldent bother me one bit tbh.
I walk in shops a coffee shops but i never really look at the names.
As long as they do good coffee or selling something i want i really dont care what their name is.

I don't like it. But then I'm one of those old fashioned types who doesn't swear in front of children or people I don't know. I think it's inappropriate as a shop name and not what I would want to see on my high street. Plus, it's not very clever.

I have a feeling the clientele it’s trying to attract are not the ones who would find it offensive or crude

Awful. They'd never ever get my business.

Shop in my county called ‘dirty dicks’ I’ve never been in

Now that’s quite silly, not even a play on words. And they sell kitchens?

Yes

Didn't like that either.

What would be that rude?

The sense of humor on this thread is highly lacking.

Maybe it's died out but are you fuckoffee or fartea? Was a common saying when I was younger, I guess I assumed it was normal but maybe not

Maybe it's an homage to Gruff Rhys?

I'd assume they had small cups, fuckoffee cups being the small ones you use for guests when you actually want them to leave.

This is so true

r u always such a bore fest. U know we live on a floating rock in space right?

Near me was a cafe called 'French Kiss' - that set my teeth on edge! It didn't last long!

Ooh! Swearing, tee hee hee.

There are quite a few branches of this chain, dh likes their coffee. I think it's a tacky name but I guess I'm not the target audience.

They do great coffee so I ignore the name!

Is it actually Fuckoffee? Or F’coffee, like the one near me?

I couldn't give a French Connection UK.
