Repulsive names of cafés

JuliusCaesar

I passed a cafe called Sip and Slurp today - no, I wouldn't even enter a place with that name

It reminded me of the equally horribly named Chew 'n' Chat.


But all are surpassed by the bottom-feeding Gobble n Go.

Ah Chew 'n' Chat isn't that bad,and they do amazing pizzas!

Stella Virgo

The Bread Shed....W.T.F.....dumbest name for a cafe ever..............

Passenger

Blazing Salads.

Don't fry for me margentina.

Years ago my young family were so amused by Chew'n'Chat that they devised a game for long car journeys:

Bite'n'Babble

Nosh'n'Natter

Munch'n'Maunder

Taste'n'Tattle

Slurp'n'Slander

Consume'n'Converse

etc etc etc etc etc

Did you ever notice the writing on the window in Blazing Salads?
"Give Peas a chance" LOL

We always call "Chew n' chat" - "Chew n' spew"

Not repulsive, but a name I hate is Noshington, on the SCR/Washington Street corner.

I hear the cafe has a touchy customer service policy.

I heard there's a place in Chicago called the Leaning Tower of Pizza.

Why did they call a cafe Guernika up near jervis?

dharma200

there is a restaraunt in tulla co clare called flappers.
I don't know why I find that repugnant but I wouldn't be tempted to eat there.........

Mao...named after a murderous Chinese peasant brute who killed millions of his own people in labour camps and through forced collectivisation.

It sickens me to see the Right-on crusties and chinbeards eating in there because they don't know any better.

I'd just love to see an eatery named after Hitler...Arbeit Macht Fries anyone?

I think the people who eat there know, they just don't really care.

Day Lewin

Yes, Mao always puzzled me too. Does it have a Little Red Menu?

I'd suspect these modern youngsters have never heard of Chairman Mao Tse Tung at all, 'twas before their time.

As a man, I just can't bring myself to even look at the menu in Snax in the City, even though I walk past every day around lunchtime.

the possibilities are endless - Franco's Tapas Bar, Mussolini Pizzeria. You're right about Mao though, the name is tasteless.

Wasn't there a Phoenix Perk on Dame Street years back?

schemingbohemia

The Cafe mentioned in the OP is actually great, I wouldn't let the name put me off.

Yup, apparently had to close due to a threat from the rights holders of the sitcom Friends who had a cafe in it called Central Perk..

I remember reading about it thinking how petty it was.

Penny Tration

Taste of Emilia, on Liffey Street. Reminds me of a lesbian brothel.

As well as similarity in name I seem to remember that the signage looked like the Central Perk signs

I've heard it's decent fare, but I wouldn't darken their door because of the name.

The Hairy Lemon never sounded too appetising tbh.

Is hair on lemons a good thing ?

There is a hairdressers everywhere called 'Kurl up and dye,

Joe prim

Dwarf Jar on the quays, quite a nice place, but the name summons up visions of preserved homunculi in formaldehyde, which is a little offputting if all you want is a latte and a caramel slice.

Patser

Wuff near Smithfield, Dublin. Looks decent enough if in a quiet and strange location. But the name makes you wonder if they specialize in Korean delicacies.

Hootanany

Soon Phat Chinese in Bray

SimonTemplar

There's a chipper called "Rotten Burger"

Eh? Mao is a common Chinese name. Did you really think that place was named after Chairman Mao???

Hitler, by comparison, is not a common name at all.
