Kate’s Cafe serves possibly the yummiest looking inedible food you’ll ever see--not that there’s lots of competition in that market.
Kate’s Cafe is set up like a real cafe, complete with a sign in front telling passersby about the full English breakfast and fish and chips, while in fact the store is filled with crocheted versions of these favorite meals.
Kate’s Cafe is a temporary exhibition at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery of the crocheted work of Kate Jenkins. Check out the full English breakfast, sardines with glitter eyes and lovely cupcakes above.
