Shed coffee bar

I have had a couple of little contretemps with my local branch of Leroy Merlin (a DIY shop) recently, so they are no longer my preferred supplier of DIY products.   However they remain a convenient supplier and I still shop there sometimes.   Besides, credit where it's due, they give free coffee.  Shame they seem to have stopped the madeleines though.

They have recently redone their coffee area and given it a "shed" style.  It's all scrupulously clean but looks scruffy.   The ceiling tiles are painted to look a grubby brown, there are used paint tins on the "bench" and rusty tools attached to the wall.  The mural is of an old-fashioned workshop, and the floor is a mix of coloured tiles and wood finish.

Some of the paint tins provide you with a Ethernet cable for internet connection and there are power points in the lids of the rest.   The coffee is fresh-ground and, as I mentioned, free.  I especially liked the side table made out of a wheeled trolley platform.  I thought that they had made a good effort; top marks.

Rather enterprising, isn't it!

Bricodepot used to do free breakfasts...bread croissants, ham, cheese and coffee...but no wifi.
Mark you I'm not sure that wifi had been spotted in our area at that time...
