We've Got to Start Somewhere!

Norwich furniture shop Warings has a cafe and the owners clearly were involved from the start.  "Apparently we've got to start somewhere?!" say the general sweepers/clearers and washer-uppers Harriet & Jemima Waring.
Great building, good coffee, tasty cakes and stylish furniture.

Coffee on Cannon Street

Harris & Hoole's flagship in Cannon Street is worth checking out.  You order at the counter but all coffees are made at four stations beyond the order point - impressive and they must be anticipating major volumes.

 We (and the staff) like the personalisation of the operation and it is part-owned by Tesco!

Quirky Corporate

Milburns, part of global foodservice company Compass, is able to endorse the quirky at their MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry) cafe in Manchester.  Lego condiment rack makes the kids smile and crisps are displayed in cutaway gas cylinders.  Bravo.
