Week beginning November 30th - The importance of balance

This is what I remember. It was perhaps early 2009 (but I cannot be sure), it was at Gwilym Davies' coffee cart at Columbia Road Flower Market and one of the baristas was making coffee, again my memory fades on who it was, but they were talking about coffee to a customer and the importance of flavours and extractions and the palette and Gwilym over heard and said in a loud, happy voice 'but does it have balance!? It must have balance!'.

That is all I remember, that little snippet of information for the person who went onto become, or perhaps already was, the World Barista Champion, in the setting of an outdoor coffee cart in East London.

Balance. It is such a great word and descriptor for everything, because when you have balance, you can probably also say it is perfect.

Then I read the Coffee Boys book '52 guaranteed ways to make a profit'. One of the stand out items in there for me was outline of the five senses; touch, hearing, taste, sound and feel and how this affects, or disaffects, your business. Because if all the five senses are stimulated in the same way, evenly, with balance, then the experience of the guest will be perfect. That is the music is just right for the time of day, the food looks great, the decor is pleasing to the eye, the smells from the kitchen and the coffee machine are stimulating and delicious, the feel of the tables, chairs, the counter top brings pleasure. Everything is balanced.

Then we also talk about the staff who work there, but do not forget the employer or owner too, and having a balanced work/personal lifestyle. Too much work is too much, too little and you go crazy, having some home time, some escape time, but also being stimulated and challenged in the workplace, but not challenged too much. Quite simply having a balanced working environment that fits in with their (your) balanced lifestyle.

I don't think I need to further talk about a balanced diet, but as we all know, a balanced diet is a balanced lifestyle.

We could go on and on about it. But for me it still goes back to that those two small sentences that a World Barista Champion shouted out on a cold Sunday morning and leads into everything that I try and do.

It was also the realisation at that moment, that all we are looking for in a cup of coffee (and therefore life in general), the most simple and perfect description of all when you are trying to describe the way a coffee tastes, or makes you feel is- 'but does it have balance?!"

Incredible really isn't it?

Please enjoy the menu this week, for the next three weeks in the lead up to Christmas we have our Mince Pies back on in both shops. This year each Chef has come up with their own recipe. Chef Khan in Great Titchfield and Chef Flavio in Eastcastle.

Please also remember, we close for renovations from 6 pm on the 23rd December and re-open on the 18th January. Eastcastle street will open for business on December 28, 29, 30 then from January 4th onwards.

Monday 2 November 2015

Week beginning November 2nd - Great Titchfield Street - Time for a facelift

Six years is a long time in cafe life. Lots of wear and tear, heavy use. Day after day after day, after day. Every year at Christmas we used to give Great Titchfield a going over with the paint brush, bring her back to life a bit. We have updated things here and there, to try to keep that freshness but still with the industrial, warm, loving look and feel, but it is very hard to keep it all looking lovely and fresh and clean. In fact, I would say that keeping everything spotlessly clean is one of the hardest jobs in cafe life.

I have always said that I would not open another store until the first one was pretty much perfect in every way. These were the plans, then we found Eastcastle street and could not pass up that opportunity, so we went for that and we had plans to renovate Great Titchfield street back in August, over the quiet period, as we were very happy and wanted to use the same architects (Design LSM) and the same builders (Blue Crow).

Unfortunately that did not eventuate, so plans have been postponed until the first two weeks of January 2016. We are still using the same architects and the same builders and some of the materials and feel of Eastcastle street will come over to GTS and it will, we envision, be something that will keep its style for another ten years at least.

We do not have major plans, but it will involve a bit of work to the back wall area and the windows to the rear of the building. It will also involve a freshen up of the front bench area, the seating along the wall and the back seating area, as well as a freshen up of the toilets and downstairs area.

So we will close Great Titchfield Street on the 23rd and she will re-open on the 18th of January.

The good news is that for the first time ever, we will be open over Christmas period, but only at Eastcastle street.

So here is our Christmas and New Year opening Hours.

Great Titchfield
December 23rd 7:30 am 6 pm
Then closed until the 18th January

Eastcastle
Weds 23rd 7:30 am 6 pm
24th, 25th, 26th, 27th closed
Monday 28th to Thursday 31st open 8.30 am to 6 pm
Friday 1st, Sat 2nd, Sun 3rd Closed

Open Monday 4th as usual, supporting both stores. 

Please may we take this early opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy festive period and a huge thank you for all your kind support. 

Please also enjoy the menu for this week, as we will very much enjoy bringing it to you.
