Thanks Nic...based on what I read on their site they have a great passion for community and coffee. "The cafe is the location, but the “community” is really where our focus lies." That's a place I would love to visit and enjoy a great cup of coffee at...

you didn't miss it! ;-)
it's the name of my company... no shop... YET
I'm not even sure I'll operate under 4M Cafe...
i'm no branding expert but 4M is a bit hard to "sell" to none coffee enthousiast ;-)
i'm glad at least the 4 "M" do "work" the same in french :)

next time send me a mail we could meet and have a good cup of coffee... at my place if no better!
take care
