“People have been really happy to be able to enjoy a proper coffee again instead of the basic machines and instant coffee they have in their homes.”
It’s a medium to dark blend with notes of chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit – sourced from Peru, Guatemala, and Vietnam.

“We also have a limited menu which includes toasted sandwiches, cronuts, and cakes.”
They source their fruit and vegetables from K.D. Davis and Sons and their meat from Plane and Armstrong Butchers both located in the town centre market.

He said: “It's been a worrying time - we’re a relatively new business and a high street independent retailer.
“But we have seen an increase in the shop local route as people want to support their local communities.
“I think if a business can make it through the last couple of months then it can make it through anything.”
