Hipster overload: Cereal Killer Cafe opens

The counterfeit stuff only turned up about 10-12 years ago IME. I was out of the country from 99-03 but before that you could buy Drum and French Golden Vag down there at a fraction of the shop price.

The stolen bikes were a bargain too.

anyone on the thread been there yet? 4 quid bowl of cereal lol.

I still might consider it if the cereal was sufficiently exotic and sugary. But only once.

I've been there and I like it they have a wide range of choice and me and my friend really enjoyed it.

I fail to understand why this small cafe gets such criticism about Tower Hamlets poverty when the borough has the HQ's of three international banks, various Starbucks etc and of course Mt Rahmans alleged squandering of public money.

Ah well, you know why it is in my honest? People expect banks to wade in and give it the biggun, same as a Tesco's or a car showroom. The likes of that notoriously give not a flying fuck if half the population in the local vicinty won't be buying.

Its the comic book omnicorp 'Welcome to the 21st century citizen! your choices are now 500 different brands of cereal! Thank god we beat the socialists!'

I find it hard to hate them. As a symbol of all that is wrong with the world, they're pretty rubbish. If only the world were only that wrong.
 
"All sandwiches come with soup (with Monster Munch croutons) and fries, and start at just £3.50."
Not that bad a price either.

That's a proper slap up meal for 3 and a half quid!

Bit more on the crisp sandwich place, I would definitely eat there if I could!

God damn, these people know what they are doing...

To make the sandwiches, a precarious-looking pile of crisps is quickly compressed with a crunch by two weighty slabs of thickly-buttered white bread known as a Belfast bap, which is approaching burned and relatively tough on the top, but fluffy on the inside.

The one in the picture also appears to have ham in it. This suggests the possibility of cheese and crisp sandwiches which are the best sandwiches in the world.

Yep. Cheese and/or ham option.


This has made me change my online shopping order for tomorrow to make sure i have all the necessaries for crisp/cheese/ham sandwiches, dammit :D

have you seen the hipster tatts where they try and make them look "authentic" by being all badly done, as if done on the most "keeping i real" equipment. themes such as tacky devils or hearts with arrows through. proper cringe. nothing is real anymore.

Exactly, The owners do come across like a pair of pretentious tits but they have tapped into a bunch of gullible sheep who want to feel special and exclusive and are prepared to pay for it.

exactly, maybe they think they way we do but are just cashing in
 
these hipster neigbhbourhoods, attractive for about 20 minutes and then feel over priced, soulless.

i like my london communities to have a few things - practical, helpful, well run businesses that serve a mix of people. a few places to eat and drink, i.e. a few cafes, restaurants, a library, a leisure center, clean streets, safe for teenagers to walk about. that to me is a conducive to "community". how they can call these east end trendy areas "communities" i don't really get. i suppose they are but they have almost zero attraction for me now.
 
and pictures of serial killers on teh wall? all them people dead, often tortured and terrified before hand.

nice.
 
just out of interest, how much is a room to rent on or within spitting distance of brick lane these days?
