I’ve now been twice to Cafe 1851 in the new Crowne Plaza building (formerly Bob Jones House). The cafe is spacious, and a welcome addition to this end of town.
Their prices are standard, but sadly they don’t serve scones. The first time I went I had a tiramisu cake – how could I resist? The second time I had a small fruit doughnut. The first time my hot chocolate was served in a glass, not my preference, but the second time I was offered the choice of a cup.
There are outside tables, which would be pleasant on a sunny day. However the outlook is not attractive at present. Victoria Square is in the midst of a lengthy revamp, and across Armagh Street there’s a depressingly rough car park. Cafe 1851 is convenient for anyone visiting The Piano, and I’m sure they’ll get lots of custom as they get better known.

Whoo-hoo – Quite the cafe girl. You do get around!!

One of the pleasures of not being in paid work is having time to check out new cafes.

We might have to meet for coffee one day – when you’re not busy writing.
