... The only tea it would serve would be the discusting Lapsang Souchong?

Served in chipped novelty mugs.

Accompanied by crumbly, not sweet-enough, flaccid flapjacks which fall apart when touched.

Oh yes, nice sticky tables and floor.
Filthy toilets.

I have experienced café hell, hence my recent name change. Sad

The drink of the day (every day) would be a Chai latte, served nice and tepid, extra strong, extra frothy.

Actually I wonder whether it might make good business sense to open Cafe Hell. Any time someone is told to "go to hell" they might then take it literally...

Cafe Hell is in Gambados Watford.

Cafe Hell Europe is in EuroDisney. Automatic hot water at 82 degrees with shit tea bags. If that's how they make tea, no wonder the French don't drink it.

Mugs that have lip marks on them....and unwiped tables.

BTW I worked in Mr Kiplings Bakery in Eastleight, Hants one summer and I still ENJOY a fondant fancy !

Lapsang is like drinking a bonfire of manure.

I like rooibos but am yet to meet a man that does. My DH says it smells of hay and feet.

Agree with lots of other posters that Lapsang is a bit bleugh.

However Hell's Cafe to me would serve only decaf tea & coffee in a Sports Direct mug!

Oh and creamer in little pots rather than proper milk.

Pat this rooibos sounds like a computer virus lol

I think lapsang is traditionally made by smoking the tea over old fishing nets (burning the nets) so it may have a kippery aroma!

I love it, not strong, no milk. Am experimenting with a new lemon rooibos just now as am pg so no caffeine.

Weak tea with milk that has gone slightly in the turn.....bleurgh

And chocolate cupcake sponge with a lime buttercream swirl, made with salted butter

And a stale ashtray overflowing with fag butts

Served by someone with rank BO

Confused

Cafe Hell never has "proper" fresh milk, only those tiny capsules of fake milk which are impossible to open without splattering the contents everywhere.
