Not from the Catering Trade
Tab x Tab Cafe on Westbourne Grove wanted crockery that didn't look like it was from a catering trade supplier and found Kana who made them an exclusive range of handle-less coffee cups
How much cafe crockery is hand-made, customised and not that much more expensive than standard items - well done Tab x Tab and Kana.
plus a hot cupboardto make sure the cups are the right temperature
