Kongoni (was "The Upstairs Coffee Shop")

Brings back memories, it does. The Kongoni Coffee Company, tucked away down the passageway, with its lovely smell that wafted across Market Way. When I was a boy, coffee was a once-per-week luxury on a Saturday morning (tea the rest of the week), since coffee was comparatively expensive. We always had Costa Rican from the Kongoni.

As I've posted before it wasn't the first coffee shop in Coventry. The one in Broadgate House was after the war. I have no idea if there were any before the blitz.
