A stereotypical analogical writer faced with a Greek-run family business would look no farther than Con the Fruiterer for wordy inspiration. His dysfunctional family made up of a multiplicity of similar-sounding daughters, was a pin-up for late ‘80s comedy - and enough to make any level-headed entrepreneur say NO to working with their brethren.For anyone next in line to inherit the family business, the show presented a foreboding fear, not just fruit.
Café Sofia is a Greek-run family affair, but without all the drama and comical error of its soapie-style predecessor. The service is swift with a no-fuss attitude, in a relaxed simple setting with great coffee. Seating comes indoor or outdoor (the back terrace is like a homely courtyard), and kids and dogs are all welcome with open arms. The brothers stock the fridges whilst the kids do the coffee, and I can't help thinking that the close-knit clan at this cafe would smash the Fruiterers on FAMILY FEUD.
