The kettle goeson at seven.
On weekdays the lights come on low around seven, and the first pot goes down before the block wakes up. Early is the best time to come.
A fictional cafe · built as a sample
11:00 · the room
Just coffee, and a quiet room.
No wifi password on a chalkboard of its own, no playlist working too hard. A counter, a window, and the morning going by.

By nine,it is full.
Regulars in their usual seats, one newspaper going around, bakes coming out until the tray is empty. We do not rush anyone to the counter, and we do not clear anyone out.

We closeat two.
We tidy up, and the room sits empty until the next morning. Sundays we open at nine instead of seven. The story here is made up, but that is the idea.
Mornings only
Nobody gets rushed, and nothing goes on the board that we would not drink ourselves.
The house rule
Every day, the same shape
How themornings run.
7:00
First pour
The door unlocks, and the first shots go to whoever waited outside.
9:00
The room is full
One newspaper going around. The board settles for the day.
11:00
The quiet hour
The rush thins out, and the sun comes straight through the front glass. The best hour to read.
2:00
Chairs up
We close while it is still bright, and do the whole thing again tomorrow.
Come by on a weekday.
It is quietest before nine, and the window seat is usually open.
