Much Bunch Summary
The very first coffeshop we sat in before the ratings were discussed, this was definitely a shop for comfort. The first thing you see when entering this venue are the several chaise lounges by the window area. As we walked to the very small bar/counter the man asked us if we would like anything to drink. We view the vast selection of drugs they had to offer, the man went on to explain what each one was and the different effect they had, going into detail about the highs and lows. As we walked away enlighten from the new information we had received we went to the area of comfort. We each selected a chaise lounge to sit on and discussed how friendly the man was. Looking around on the walls there were various drug memorabilia such as flags of bob Marley. Bob Marley!! Pictures of spliff's and Jamaican flags everywhere. In fact on the entrance was a large bob Marley and a Jamaican flag hanging down, which is why we nicknamed the place as this. * The coffeeshop adopts the same method as others by having a large mirror on the wall. Other features that made the shop interesting were a giant red buddah head, a big pink panther near the bar and a vending machine with snacks in it. This was the only form of food in this shop so it scored moderately low on this section. Music consisted from old school Beatles tracks from the 70’s era when it was really trippy. There was also around 30 posters spread on the ceiling of various movies and bands, keeping you entertained for a while. Downsides are a lack of drink variety, entertainment and food availability, but overall a nice cosy little place with excellent service.
*The funny moment occurred when the man offered for Andy to smell the drugs, and he assumed he was offering to try it. This guy had clearly taken some form of customer service course.
