Crisp Cafe

It started as a joke about the popularity of crisp sandwiches and now Belfast has its own Crisp Cafe. #SimplyCrisply@thatweecafe. Serving 35 types of crisps it has been inundated, quite apart from the national publicity.  The humour is fun too: January Special - We'll cut off your crusts for free!

Whether it's crisps, cereal, board games, dogs or 3D printing cafes need to have a differentiator.

Mac N' Cheese Crisps

Mac N' Cheese and Cinnamon Bun flavour crisps will no doubt be here soon.

Gluten Free World Expands

Cheese Bites range from Mrs Crimble's adds to the gluten free choice and rivals crisps although not cheap at £2.99 (albeit in a cafe on the Isle of Tresco).

Kale Crisps

Where will kale appear next?  Pret crisps at £1.50 a packet.

Timberyard

We like lots about Timberyard and their tag line:
Tea, coffee, work and play.  Re-imagined.
See tomorrow's post about the book Out of Office to make more sense.
 
 Located on Old Street along from Look Mum No Hands.  Popcorn in pots.

Pitta Chip crisps and great hot drinks.

Great British Summer

M&S' Fish & Chips and Beef Burger crisps.

Trugful of Sandwiches

 Attractive and appropriate sandwich presentation with linked crisp sales at Royal Botanic Gardens outpost Wakehurst Place by caterer Ampersand.

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.

Popcorn Kettle Crisps

Confused?  Popcorners new shape of popcorn

In Your Face Crisps

Caffe Nero clearly sells more crisps when they (almost) hit you in the face when buying a sandwich. Clipped onto the multideck chiller, these work a treat.





Pret do it slightly differently http://greatcafes.blogspot.com/2011/03/that-extra-sale-crisps.html

That Extra Sale - Crisps

Check out how ever-innovative Pret are displaying/selling their crisps - rustic looking bins in front of every multi-deck chiller. Look for your sandwich and see the crisps immediately in your line of sight. Simple, clever and will add to take up and that all important average spend.
