New cafe/bar (I know, I know) on Park Road

[Mr Toasty]

Pottered past what used to be (for a very very shirt time) the Fat Cat Bistro last night.

 

There's a council notice in the window saying that it'll shortly be Citrus and Cocoa.

 

The name doesn't really narrow down the cuisine, but fingers crossed the owners will make a better fist of it than the previous occupiers (although I recall there was some controversy with the lease owners at the time)

 

Anyways...

Yes the last place lasted about five minutes. I see there's scaffolding outside Bouga. Unclear if it's just external work or an indicator of a new cafe coming

[Adrian Essex]

Citrus and Cocoa seem to be clients of Juliet Shield   (Citrus and Cocoa (new health food/coffee bar restaurant in Crouch End))

[Mr Toasty]

I hope the involvement of an advisor bodes well for them - they have a lot of competition, cafe wise, so they'll need to do something a wee bit different to stand out.

 

I'm not sure what Crouch End's saturation point is, cafe-wise. It seems insane they can all stay open.
