A crisps and dip café is opening in London

When will specific-food-themed cafés stop opening in London?
Answer: Never. Because soon to join the likes of the cereal café, avocado café and porridge café is a crisps and dips café.
Yes - houmous and crisps will no longer just be hurriedly eaten at the office, or as part of a picnic - but will become a classy pastime too.
Hipchips will be setting up in Soho on Old Compton Street later this month, though there’s no official opening date yet.
The café will serve five different types of crisps, cut from heritage potatoes including Salad Blue, Pink Fir Apple, Shetland Black, Highland Burgundy and Red Duke of York.
Which means they won’t only be tasty, but colourful too.

But here’s the amazing bit - like some sushi restaurants you may or may not have visited, the chips won’t be placed neatly on the table in front of you - they’ll go around on a conveyor belt.
And you won’t be limited to bog-standard houmous, either (however reliably delicious it is); the list of dips also includes Moroccan yoghurt, baba ghanoush, pickled onion fondue and katsu curry.
But if you prefer sweeter stuff, never fear - there will also sweet crisps coated in sugar and cinnamon, with either gooey salted caramel or rhubarb and custard to dunk them in.
Price-wise, things range from £4.50 - £11.50. So it’s not quite the same price as a pot of Tesco Houmous and some Kettle Chips, but it sure sounds a lot more fun.
