A real mixture of traditional graffiti tags, an angry sci-fi/comic book character and an almost 1950/1960s portrait pastiche, adorn the shutters of the Koffee Pot Cafe. Its interiors have often been used in tv series; the location of this greasy spoon cafe on Hilton Street at Stevenson Square undoubtedly raising its kudos among the NQ crowd.
However last month it poured its last koffee and served its final cholesterol-ridden breakfast, at these premises anyway. It has been forced to move, but only around the corner to the northern end of Oldham Street, where it reopens this month. (See photo below, I assume the murals on the shutter are leftovers from a couple of years back when faux stags' heads were en vogue).
The good news is that there will also be a deli and a bar in the new location and, as a result of that and in search of healthy and cruelty-free food, I will for the first time want to cross its hallowed doorway.

I would think that they would paint some coffee cups on the shutters. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the new premises.
ReplyDeleteThe Hellboy face certainly does stand out.
ReplyDeleteProbably there is new artwork to come!
ReplyDeleteI like the boy's face. Great mural.
ReplyDeleteWill be expecting a review!
ReplyDeleteThey collected a little bit of several styles in these murals, didn't they. It will be interesting to see what murals they'll sponsor in the future. Thanks, Chrissy, for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
