I am visiting Newcastle NSW this week, vintage shopping in Darby St, its an uber cool fashion strip. Frankie's Place has just opened and I went in for coffee. One wall is devoted entirely to vinyl record cover albums. Retro decor at its coolest.
I guess I thought maybe the food would be sorted out prior to opening so they don't lose repeat customers...especially in a competitive area like Darby st!
to comment on anon july 8... lol you obviously hav no idea what it takes to open a business from scratch... and no understanding for the industry... and to judge so quickly how shallow ur life must be... best you inject your worries into something else! blog off!!
You're absolutely right KH I've never started a cafe from scratch but I'm pretty good at being a consumer and it seems reasonably obvious to me that you would get little things like the umm food and menu sorted out BEFORE you open the doors to the public. I would have thought that return business in a competitive market like Darby street would be of the utmost importance...just sayin
Nice place and very nice people...shame about the hotdog though...worst I've ever had!
ReplyDeleteAh... It's only 2 weeks old... Takes at least a month to fine tune these things..
