new coffee place ( moustache 1 )



what are the chances ?

located about halfway between the nordic bakery and fernandez & wells is a new coffee place.
it's called vida e caffé and it's located at the site of the old starbucks, next to bape on the corner of golden square.

i only got a takeaway macchiato from there on friday but i'll definitely have a lounge around and drink a coffee in there this week. it has a cool vibe, friendly staff and a big selection of decent magazines ( monocle, wallpaper, gq, esquire etc )

from a design point of view it is really bang-on. it's the most modern of the three coffee houses and is the only one with it's own logo, and with a loyalty card.

here's my macchiato...



and here's the cup from the side...
what's with the moustaches ?



turn the cup around a little...
ok...


and turn the cup around a little more...
hmmm...



and here's the loyalty card. i just bought one double macchiato but i got  three moustaches.
my family know i'm straining to do a moustache gag here... but i won't.
