The back booth

Every café you keep coming back to has one specific table you keep coming back to.

The back booth, the corner two-top, the window seat nobody else likes because the radiator is too close. You bring the book. You bring the notebook. You bring the same coat, draped over the same chair-back. The table holds it for an hour.

A café with no table you want is not your café yet. It happens slowly. You go in three or four times. You start to notice when the regular waiter is on. You stop having to think about where to sit. By the fifth visit, the back booth is the back booth. The table is yours, even when you're not in it.

These are the rooms the brand was built for. The ones with bookshop attached, ideally. The ones that are quiet at four. The ones the rain finds you in.

The table is yours. We make the hoodie you walk in with.
