Sud-dough-nly I See

Bread? In a bakery? Groundbreaking.

The Devil Wears Prada is definitely having its (second) moment in the spotlight.


The original 2006 classic* spotlighted brands from Gucci to Chanel, Vivienne Westwood to Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein to Valentino.


And, of course, Starbucks.


In the same way that those Chanel boots became an iconic look, the it-girl accessory for busy office employees quickly became one of their mermaid-embossed cups, filled with nondescript brown liquid and an unholy amount of milk. Forget flat whites, iced shaken espressos, or matcha - the 2006 choices were a cappuccino, a latte, or filter coffee.


And, while we’ve all been guilty of darting through those green and white doors and ordering a coffee-well-actually-it’s-a-milkshake, wouldn’t today’s Runway employees be a little more discerning?


Especially in Bristol.


Especially if they just happened to be located near Ashley Down Road.


Especially if they could get their coffee from a small, independent, artisan bakery.

You can see where we’re going with this.



Miranda Priestly


No foam, skimmed milk latte with an extra shot.


Hot.


Obviously.


(don’t look her in the eye)



Emily


A double espresso. She’s got places to be.


Paris, mostly.



Andy


We don’t do onion bagels, so Andy picks up a mini breakfast focaccia.


Nigel is just as disparaging about the lingering smell of pancetta and olive oil.



Nigel


An unsweetened iced matcha and a miniature viennoiserie.


He’s the only person we’ve ever seen who can eat a croissant and not get covered in pastry flakes.



Serena (aka Gisele Bündchen)


A glass of oat milk.


It’s not technically on the till but we don’t say anything because we’re all a bit scared of her.



Nate


He comes in once a week for a loaf of sourdough to make his famous 20-dollars-of-Jarlsberg grilled cheese.


He says that, but we all know he’s actually just trying to bump into Andy.



Christian


Nothing. He’s barred.
