Sadly not a café - but "Sands of the World" - featuring beach sand, coloured sand, history of sand, and Im sure we can rustle up a sand sandwich (I cant remember a whole afternoon of tom foolery !!)
Good shout. You might try to incorporate this:

Teddy Brown: [Looking at Inga lying on the beach invintingly] What's in it for me?
Inga Giltenburg: Sand

And:

Inga Giltenburg: [Subtitles in Swedish dream sequence] This was your first time? What did you think of it?
Teddy Brown: It's better than open sandwiches.

Love the pent up passive aggressive rant.

Aye. Did that this morning. It was raining which meant I had to order a careem instead of walking to the nearby main road and hailing a taxi and that cost me an extra 10 QAR.
