One of the defining features of postmodernity is perhaps this cohort of unusual businesses -many of them skeptic-proof- ranging from clandestine bars to spaces where you can have a snack and paint pottery at the same time. Or, as in the case of Plasér, a coffee shop where you are served through a hole in the wall.
A handful of people swirled last Thursday around this surprising recently opened business in the centrally located Cuna Street.
At number 42 of this street you are greeted by a facade full of graffiti, messages and drawings that customers have been leaving in their path and letters with products and prices.
Through a small hole that seems to have been perforated with a hammer, you can see a bar, a coffee machine and a barista. Enough, by the way, to prepare a coffee.
Plasér’s prices in the center of town
You are immediately served and served, as the experience promises, in this sort of window. Because at Plasér there are no tables, no terrace and, if I may say so, nothing that gives the impression that you can drink coffee, much less specialty coffee.
Prices range from €2.20 for a double espresso to €3.20 for a flat white or latte macchiato.
The slogan follows in the wake of the groundbreaking business “here we will give you pleasure through the hole” that is getting people talking.
