What would you expect from a Quaker-run café?
Dear Friends.
I'm running a small café in the quiet harbour town of Hafnarfjörður in Iceland. I would like to ask you your opinion, if I may. If you were to walk into a Quaker-run cafe, what would your expectations be? It could be anything from food to bookkeeping, cleaning to wages. Literally any expectations/hopes/desires relating to the running of a café in a 'Quakerly fashion'. I want to offer something that really promotes what we stand for as a Society. Any ideas? Your opinions would be very much appreciated.
In Friendship,
David

I would want everyone to feel welcomed. No decorations, simplicity rules. separate areas for quite and fellowship.

That's wonderful, James, thank you so much! Inclusive, simply decorated, and a choice of quiet or lively areas. Love it :)

Quaker Oats was the first thing to come to mind! Seriously, it is good to know that there are Quakers in Iceland. Blessing on your endeavor. https://spurgeonwarquotes.wordpress.com

Lots of cafes have magazines for patrons to read. A Quaker-run cafe could subscribe to some of these exotic Quaker publications many of us have heard of.
