Sit back and have a nice cup of coffee – on the loo
February 23rd 2009 Coffee shop bosses in Vienna have installed loos around the walls of a cafe to help its male customers relax.
"The lavatory is one of the last places in the world where men can sit and relax without women or other distractions. We just want our customers to feel at home," says owner Stefan Holz.
The cafe has even been given a new name – 'A quiet place' – to reflect the new peaceful atmosphere.
Although the ornamental toilets are purely decorative and the cafe welcomes both male and female customers, its regulars are virtually all men.
"It's strange but I do actually feel more at ease when I'm sitting in here surrounded by toilets. After all, a man's toilet is his throne," said customer Andreas Reider, 44.
