It’s called the greedy pig. It’s very good but very popular with local hipsters and aspirationals. Especially on Saturdays. Therefore I only ever go on quiet weekday mornings. It’s star dishes are the butter milk fried chicken with pancakes or the full English. Does good coffee too.

We’re getting one in Cardiff apparently. We have quite a lot of cafes already.

For the thread, my favourite local place to go for coffee is an Italian restaurant called Calabrisella. We have tonnes of coffee shops near us (including a Danish bakery and a roastery) but their espresso is the absolute nuts.

Never been in there but that would be my local cafe too

It’s definitely deece, either for sandwiches or cooked food. Worth checking out :+1:

The lay out is not massively child friendly though, so more often than not we got to The Hill Station on Telegraph Hill which is basically a glorified creche…

Will check this out. The TV loves hiking up that godforsaken hill aka The Materhorn so might get my bloat on and wander up there for a coffee with her this weekend.

I can confirm that The Mossy Well didn’t like me sitting down to a fry up and a pint (I mean mug of tea) in my pants.

at my new gaff I have a place opposite called Kraft Coffee, it’s yer typical hipster cafe but i’m fine with that.

In Glasgow it was Kaf who we became quite good friends with the staff as we were there often. They did a mean Scandi breakfast

There’s a greasy spoon down Tottenham Lane and one at the top of Crouch End Hill (which looks a bit dodgy and isn’t always open on the weekends) but every other cafe in Crouch End seems to be full on yummy mummy territory. And whatever I am eating I don’t want to do it to a soundtrack of a screaming child, or two, or more. So I currently have no favourite local cafe.

been thinking about this, I think the answer is because it’s too good. it leads to this:

aaahhh yeah weekend. going out for breakfast. this is amazing.
right, it’s like 11:30 now, might potter around the high street for a bit, buy some bits n bobs.
ok cool, now it’s lunchtime, fuck it, i’ve already spent £30 so far today, another tenner on lunch out won’t hurt.
ok right, 3pm now. could…go home? or…pub ? just a pint or two, yeah.

some time later

oh fuck that was silly, definitely going home now. and…i’m hungry again, let’s get a curry in!!!

sunday morning: why do i never have any money??? so unfair. ffs.

I can attest to this being a thing that happens. To me about once a month.

Quite like doing parkrun followed by breakfast out. Means you have to go home after cause you’re in running gear, and means youve already done some exercise and had a lovely breakfast by 10:30 on a Saturday morning
