CAFE TABLEAUX IS A COMPENDIUM
of literary, anecdotal musings on coffee shop and cafe culture. At first glance, the tableaux may resemble reviews, but they are not bound by the limits of this form. Cafe Tableaux is a repository of subjective observations that can not be represented by a star rating or a shopping list of items on a menu or prices.

Cafe Tableaux is an open community; anyone may join and contribute a vignette. Cafe Tableaux is for writers - and readers - who see value in the cafe experience beyond the flavour of the coffee or the ease of parking.
