Friends, Cafe Noir, Coco Noir and a gift….

on Monday evening my friend Sarah and i

were going to meet our good friends

Scott and Irene for a meal in a

restaurant in Oxford.

Unfortunately the plans got changed and

we ate at their place as Irene was

not feeling too good.

After the meal, they said shall we just go for

coffee, great idea , then we can head home.

Scott said “You are going to love the Cafe Noir”

As we walked along we passed a beautiful

Chocolatiers… Coco Noir, of course it was

closed, I can always go back I thought.

 

In the window was some beautiful tins, I would

love one of those, and some Artisan Limonade!

Pictures on the walls of the Cafe!!

 

and a delightful dessert

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE…

DELISH!!!!

Unfortunately I am going to

have to go back, as some of

my photos did not come out….

Good Excuse !!

or for some

Apple pie, which is a

German recipe ..mmm

During the evening I got talking to

the owner and I think is wife (not sure)

all about where they came from (he came from Iran),

how long they had been in England etc etc ..

then I started talking about my blog, and that is why I

would like the photos!!

After 5 mins or so he said “he owned another shop”,

I thought he meant a cafe/wine bar……….NO..

He/they owned

COCO NOIR!!

I did not know what to say really, , and started to say about the

beautiful tins in the window.. He said can you come back tomorrow

and I WILL give you one of the tins…. YOU CAN CHOOSE..

I said “ unfortunately I can only come back next week.. thank you .

HE said …”do you have time now?  Of course thank you so much..

He picked up his keys, I left my friends totally bemused.. and he took

me to his shop and let me choose one of his fantastic tins!!

 

Of course I had to chose one with Paris and as we (hubby) have been

to Le Touquet too, it seemed like the right choice!

full of BUTTER WAFFLES..

The tin is very special, so I will treasure it!

A big thank you to Majid Yazdani ..

I will have to go back to Coco Noir and taste

his delightful GELATO!!

There are kind and thoughtful people out there.
