What's your favourite little shop or cafe?

 

Buskers, Wolverton.

 

Why?

 

It's got a friendly, personal, not-a-chain vibe to it. Great fresh, locally sourced food (In total environmentally-unfriendly fashion, I drive across the city for their sausage sandwiches - bloomin' yum!). Awesome coffee (and I'm a total coffee snob). Always excellent cake, often organic ingredients. Lovely people. Also good, growing little music shop and great music service info. And - fab to have another live music venue in a city which lacks them. I play drums for an acoustic trio (The Louise Petit Band) and Buskers offers a perfect environment for unplugged (or slightly-plugged) performance. It's a cool place to hang out and chat, network and meet, very unlike the chain places that dominate MK.  Along with the other few independently-minded venues in the city, it's exactly the sort of place we need to help create something personal and people-powered that adds more identity and richness to MK's culture. Also - great prices :)

Great Brickhill Woods. Can't hear traffic. Amazing trees. Peace.
