Newsagents in Blackpool

Dan Dare

There is a new newsagents in Blackpool Shopping Centre, right next to where Hills was, some of the same staff too

Blackpool could do with one or two decent places for lunch. It is like a fast food hell hole.
- Pizza Hut
- Dominos
- KFC
- McDonalds x 2
- Dinos
- Eddie Rockets
- Kafkas leaves you stinking of grease for the day
- The Groves have some magic additive that makes all their food taste like $hit.
- O'Briens, overpriced
- Bagel Factory, also overpriced
- That cafe in the centre....also rank

So many places to eat & only Spar is remotely palatable.

What is the Coffee Pot like?

I like The Coffee Pot - old-skool, home-cooking kinda place.

There's one of those coffee pod places too in the retail park - nice coffee but food which looks great but the appearance belies its stodginess.
Shame about Kafkas - the one in town is pretty good (well it was - haven't been there in a good while).

That closed and moved to the one in Blackpool, stupid move IMO

Where's the coffee pot?

I think that they closed the kafkas in town because when roches stores went a lot of people stopped going down that side of town.

Heart of Blackpool - just opposite the church, where the road forks.

Maybe. It looks similar and is right next store. Just a lot smaller. I was in there the other day and saw a couple of shops now closed. That veg shop is after opening up again. They don't sell as good ice-cream anymore though

Pity, it was pretty darn tasty.

Dont know how good/bad the one in city centre was doing, but i know that the Blackpool Kafkas is doing a roaring trade. Work 2-3 days a week in the retail park and the place is nearly always busy.

Yes but is a grease pit

Was told the manager of hills opened the new one. Not sure how true it is tho.
