We'd walked past Plan 9 lots and thought it looked cool but this was our first time stopping in. They call it a "space in time cafe" after the movie of the same name and the staff have cool uniforms. There's a poster on the fridge claiming "Amy Winehouse stole our uniform".
The cafe was decorated for Halloween and the staff had made spider fascinators.
Their pumpkins were cut with Jack Skellington mouths and they had other which were eating the baby pumpkins.
Dad treated us to a plate of gingerdead men.
Our hot chocolates came dusted with a spider and skull and Mum's cappuccino had "boo" written in the foam.
Last night, Robb (who works at Drowned in Sound) and his girlfriend stayed over at ours, so this morning we went for breakfast at Plan 9. The cafe was super busy so we ate our breakfast at a table outside, under heated fans and blankets. It was actually really cosy outside in the cold, cuddled up under blankets.
We had French toast and amazing Oreo cookie milkshakes.
Today was an adventure day with Martyn. We got up super early for breakfast with Emma (although she slept in) and headed to Plan 9, where Martyn claimed that he’d “had the best breakfast he’d ever had”.
Tom’s sandwich looked like a face, Emma thought it looked like the sugarpuff monster and I thought it looked a bit like Groucho from Sesame Street.
We had brunch at Plan 9 this morning with Emma.
We went for a slap-up lunch at Plan 9. They make amazing smoothies with names like berry-go-round, cardio angel and acai dream. Tamara Beckwith was there drinking one too. It turns out that lots of famous people live in Maida Vale, including Jude Law, Natalie Imbruglia, Bjork, Kiera Knightly and Sienna Miller.
Today my Mum and I went on a coffee shop crawl, while the rest of the family visited museums. We started off with breakfast at Plan 9.
We went for brunch at Plan 9 this morning and Bill Nighy (from Love Actually) was past followed a few minutes later by Martine McCucheon. It's a good cafe for star spotting.
We went for brunch with Martyn at Plan 9 today, he's down visiting for the weekend.
The super exciting news this week is that Cut Out + Keep have signed with IndieClick advertising agency. We’ve wanted to work with them for a while, but they don’t take on many websites but now we're finally big enough. This means that IndieClick will deal with all the selling of our advertising space, leaving me with time to work on producing awesome content. We signed the papers over pancakes at Plan 9.
We went for a quick lunch at Plan 9 before Tom had to run off to a Ruby On Rails talk.
After work we headed to Plan 9 for hot spiced apple juices. We also bought TWIZZLERS and A&W Root Beer for the cinema, but Tom forgot to pick up the drinks.
This morning we had brunch with Emma and Ashley at Plan 9 before heading to a very disappointing chocolate festival on the South Bank.
Yay, Louise Blackwood is back from Korea and today she was down in London for a job interview, so I met her for lunch at Plan 9.
We're so happy now that it’s starting to feel like summer again. We went for lunch at Plan 9 today and sat out in the lovely sunshine.
Today was soooo hot, it felt like a different country. We all went for a late lunch at Plan 9 today. Look at the size of Tom Waddington's hot dog!
Louise Blackwood was showing off with the size of her camera lens, so I showed her the funny colour effects my little compact could do... I bet that showed her :P
The leaves are changing colour and everything looks so pretty. This is my favourite time of year!
Plan 9 have started a Tex Mex Night on Thursdays, where they’re open until 10 and you can bring your own bottle. We went along this week to check it out.
For starters we shared a bowl of tasty nachos. Then we had quesadillas with a side of corn bread. Soooo good but we were praying for some fruit and veg by the end of the night.
We’ve finally finished all of our Christmas crafting, so we rewarded ourselves with breakfast at Plan 9.
We went for lunch at Plan 9 again today. I usually go for the tuna melt but decided to go for the vegetarian sandwich today. It had mozzarella, avocado and tapenade on it and was delicious!
This afternoon we met up with Tom’s brother Jack, who’s been living in London for about 6 weeks. We were also able to give him a late Christmas present of Limmy’s Show on DVD. We went to plan 9 for coffee before walking through Hyde Park to the Serpentine Gallery. We started off with coffee at Plan 9.
This morning we met up with Katie and Jo for breakfast at Plan 9. They do a gluten free fry up, so it was perfect for Katie.
I've been really sick for the past week but today I felt well enough to leave the house. This flu seems to have been making the rounds with my friends and sticks around for about three weeks, so I hope it goes away soon. To make myself feel better, we went to Plan 9 for sandwiches and a flu fighter smoothie.
