Hello. I haven't had the time to play with this blog lately, but maybe I'll reclaim it one of these days.
It's finally summer, some days the temperature rises up to whole 20°C! and the weather is perfect for exploring coffee culture... though not so much for writing about it. :) (By the way, talking about the weather is a significant part of Danish conversation culture)
So, until I get myself to write, I'll post some recycled material to entertain those of you who still (occasionally or accidentally) happen to drop by.
First in the series is a draft post about the Laundromat café written in March. It's been a while and editing it now would be like re-inventing it, therefore, what you get is a pile of colourful observations.
"...
wood, warm, brown chairs, wooden floors , washing machines in a glass box, sound isolation.
combination of a cafe and a diner, bar at night. plastic lamps,70s look. leather bank seating.
The red walls and seats match the washing machines standing behind the windows of a small separated room. We should have brought our dirty clothes! We could have multi-tasked BIG time: Write blog, drink coffee, take pictures and do our laundry.
We are at Nørrebro, right at the centre of the quarter. Close to Sankt Hans Torv are several great cafés. The Laundromat is one of them. It is a fairly busy café this morning. People are drinking coffee and working on their laptops. Variety of coffee cups, coffee smells.. latte, cappuccino, espresso . A single tea drinking guy present.
The place is very cosy, one of the warmest places we have been so far. Although, the heating is pretty loud.
International feel, but not tourists...expats mainly.
Another observation is that of mac computers dominating the room,- which inspires Casper to ramble on about the coolness of the brand...
Casper is quite surprised about the absence of filtered coffee! Maybe he doesn't know the coffee culture that well. (his own remark!)
Service at the table. When the waitress brought the coffee I sensed the scent of chocolate. I sniffed at my cappuccino and a guy at the nearby table started laughing. He said I was like a cat sensing new info in the air and then carefully approaching. I smiled back and praised the coffee and its decoration. It turned out this guy shared my enthusiasm - he took out his mobile phone and proudly showed me a picture of his coffee that he had taken earlier.
This place is red, artsy. I guess "artsy" designer type people would feel here at home. interesting characters around. display look. Great place to work. Rather quiet. We can barely hear the music. Actually, we can hear there is music but we can't really hear it.
I don't like the logo letters-cut-from-a-magazine look.Too serial killer.
tables- diner setting salt ketchup pepper syrup sugar.."
