Simple Self-Serve

8.5 Million Moggies
The fact that there are 8.5 million cat owners in the UK might explain the extraordinary success of Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium cafe in Shoreditch.
£5 cover charge per person for a two hour session and they are booked up until June.
There is a real lesson for all cafe operators about the power of attracting special interest groups.
Enjoy your moggie, macchiato and macarons!

Latte & Lager
Bars are going to have to watch out as more and more cafes sell beer/alcohol and extend their hours and customer base.
Bulldog Edition is the cafe inside the Ace hotel in Shoreditch.
The Mull cheese and truffled leek toasted sandwich (at £4.80) was original and excellent. Note the beer taps.

Creme Brulee donuts and the special part is that they are baked, not deep fried.
Dum Dum Donutterie have only been open three weeks at Boxpark with their superior baked donuts and they are flying. Watch out for more openings as the owner is on a mission to produce the world's best donuts.
Banoffee and Real Raspberry
Double Dipped Almond Glaze and special of Morello Cherries and Pistachio
