Scootercaffe, Lower Marsh, Waterloo

Great coffee, great atmosphere... 










Flat white: £2.60, and good. 

I got the seat by the cat, I suspect as no one else wanted to push it off. 

I went back here largely as I thought it was the model for what I want to create. In a business sense, maybe - it sells little food, but great coffee, beers, wine, cocktails - and by 5.30pm on a Sunday there was more alcohol in evidence than coffee. 

And the decor is quirky. There's a scooter by the bar, old ads on the walls... I had thought I loved it, but. The scooter is kind of in the way. The walls look kind of dirty. And it's dark - which works at 10pm but I'm not sure about 5.30pm. 

The other thing about vintage furniture is that it's not always comfortable - I thought that in Pattern, Kings Cross. Might look good but can you relax into it, and still hear your friend speak? 

Still. Good atmosphere, very busy and food for thought.
