What is a Monday?

Monday is an artificial phenomenon created by some A-hole to facilitate society's work rhythm, so people know where to be. Because it is artificial, it is neither good nor bad.

So if Monday isn’t good or bad, why are we F Mondays Coffee? Here is an explanation: Two thousand years ago in Japan, there was a monk who was terrified of a dragon. He dreaded seeing the dragon in the skies and around corners of the mountain paths he walked. One day, the monk realised that to overcome his fear of the dragon, he had to become the dragon itself. To overcome the fear and downright disgust we have felt towards Monday, we have become Monday, and so, Monday no longer exists in the old way. Monday is quite spectacular — and we are here to help everyone rise above it. In other words, F Mondays Coffee is a specialty coffee cafe & curated book shop.
