Coffee shop to donate to charity for offensive sign

A HIPSTER cafe in one of London’s most expensive areas will make a donation to a drugs charity after being challenged by the Star over a sign “dehumanising” addicts.

Brick Lane Coffee, in London’s up and coming Shoreditch, found itself in hot water after a passer-by tweeted a picture of a sign outdoors reading “please don’t feed the crackies.”

The company has “three shops scattered about the lowbrow areas” of London, according to its website.
