I just love these "old style cafes'" like what most Towns Bus Stations used to have until places like Gtreggs and Subway became the norm. They were brilliant I thought (I reacll too they were often refferd to and called "Coffeee Lounges" and "Something Grill" etc. Luckily i know one or two that exist still in neighbouring Towns and actualy in the Town or City itself too to boot.
The most I recalla bout them (is the one in my Town's Bus Station closed down about 10 years since) as the Bus Station was being modernised - but i recall the smell of lovley "froffy coffee" that until the 1980s/1990s could only be done in a Microwave or for an age in pan, so it was a treat to buy - even if only the top layer was froffy - this before the day's of "Instant Latte" etc.
How I miss those day's - not the owner though or a full meal, but Sausage Rolls were lovley there too - how they were warm. Though the owner was nasty to anyone and everyone, as I recall i'd gone in for a drink waiting for a Coach to the Coast and the look she gave because I was intruding on her Cafe at 8am was amazing and she coulds'nt wait to get rid of me (ie I was'nt drinking fast enough for her liking)! Luckily (or not luckily for the owner and her Husband's Neighbours, they emigrated) Lol. Did anyone else have this "sort of gems of a cafe" in your Town's/City's?
