DRINK, SHOP & DO

We are a design shop and café bar selling products from emerging designers alongside vintage furniture and home wares.

Everything is for sale: from designer crafts, vintage tea sets, 1950's dressers and unusual tables and chairs, to hand-made cakes, ice creams, specialty teas, kitsch finger sandwiches, bottled beers and cocktails.

We're open for lunch, afternoon tea, cocktail o'clock and different things to 'Do' like 'Play with Clay 80's Style' and 'Dot to Dot to Disco'. These are mostly free and require no skills whatsoever—check the Listings tab so see what’s on.

We're tucked away just 2 minutes from Kings Cross station in an old Victorian bathhouse.


HOW IT ALL STARTED

Kristie (left) and Coralie met on their first day of secondary school and have been friends ever since. One spring time afternoon spent discussing what would really make them happy…

Kristie wanted to have a place where everything was pretty and all those pretty things were for sale. Where you could have tea, cake, crumpets or cocktails whilst playing scrabble and above all an old fashioned sweet shop!

Coralie wanted a shop full of beautiful things from local designers but not a stuffy one where you couldn't touch anything. One where people could have a drink and a laugh and maybe do a bit of colouring in or something vaguely crafty.

Dreams combined; we opened the 'Christmas Cooler' as a Pop-up, and 7 months later we had 'Drink, Shop & Do'.
