The post you are reporting:
Raising awareness is the most important thing because if no one knows about you or your business, you may have the best cafe/restaurant, whatever, in the World, but if no one knows of it, you may as well not open; this should be followed by a good product and good service - in equal measures.
If I had more emails on my email address groups, then I could advise more and more people about public information, up and coming events and local business news - all via blind emails.
Most of the cafe-type offer something different:
C'est la Vie cafe - dining and drinking outside anytiime of the year;
Beano - greasy spoon type of place;
Weigh Inn, a peaceful oasis, where you can buy your soft-drinks (hot or cold), snacks (hot or cold) and all kinds of nuts, pulses, seeds, herbs spices and a good range of cereals in big tubs and just buy what you want to buy;
3 Cooks - freshly cooked pastries, cakes, baguettes, rolls and hot and cold drinks;
La Salle Verte coffee shops, good quality service, food and ambience (and has just been voted the best Cafe in the Country;
Subway - filled baguettes and good salad range;
Mandie's Tea-rooms - been spoken well of on here and does good food, always looks very, very clean and you're always met with a smile;
Baguette Ella - great baguettes (brown or white) massive range of fresh fillings and salads.
And many more, all a little bit different, depends on what you want and the mood you're in.
