The Guardian newspaper opens cafe in London
British newspaper The Guardian has opened what it callx a "data-driven" cafe in London, sparking swift, bitter, funny, as well as bitterly funny reactions in the Twittersphere. Despite the little fanfare to accompany the coffee shop's opening in Shoreditch this week, the Twittersphere got wind of the new cafe and made the hashtag #guardiancoffee a trending topic Thursday.
Opened to provide journalists with a workspace, #Guardiancoffee is tech and social media-heavy, with flat screens lining the walls, which broadcast live tweets about the cafe, live coffee sales, and tablets made available at nearly every table which themselves are emblazoned with a lowercase 'g' in the paper's trademark font. One of the most popular retweets about the cafe comes from The Daily Telegraph's film critic, Robbie Collin, who took a jab at Guardian political columnist Polly Toynbee with the blast, "Popping down to #guardiancoffee later on to order a 'Toynbee': short, rich and intensely bitter." Less than 24 hours after posting, the comment was retweeted 314 times and favourited among 71 Twitter users. Meanwhile, early reviews are also in and much of it lacklustre.
