The Little Coffee Shop

My best friend lives nearby to this lovely little coffee shop and I thought it would be nice for Christmas to get her a selection of Christmas treats from here as I know she uses it regularly and I have popped in here with her for milkshakes and cakes, when I have been to visit her and her lovely girls. The customer service from this small business was incredible, she knew my friend by name and even knew that she had already ordered a Christmas cake from here and kindly recommended switching the Christmas cake in the order for one of her favourite Guinness cakes. Seeing as she had been so accommodating and friendly I asked as a special request if she could put English muffins in as they were a fond shared childhood memory of ours and Corene replied straight away and said she could, no problem. Such a lovely touch that you would probably never get from a large corporate company. I already felt great that I had supported a small business and their customer service really made it a very pleasant experience. I know this year they have extended their range due to covid to provide fresh eggs, milk, lockdown essentials for lots of the locals to have somewhere easy to get these things in a difficult time and just wanted to spread the word of how wonderful they are!

Wonderful micro cafe that has established itself as a beacon of community spirit as well as serving delicious home made food. We are treated more like friends than clients to the extent that sometimes we have to make a conscious effort to remember to ask to pay before leaving! There are really imaginative and unusual cakes in particular (blueberry one and the rhubarb one made with rhubarb from my allotment a few hundred yards away are my favourites! as well as the more obvious usual ones. Vegans, vegetarians and food allergies are taken into account, too. Have yet to have anything that isn't delicious: I have to ration my visits for the sake of my waistline! Great savouries, ice creams, teas and coffee too, plus ethical items for sale, and loads of great ideas from the owners keep popping up. They've been a lifeline to the community during lockdown. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This place is just simply great, you're always met with a smile, consistently top quality coffee in quirky crockery with an ornate teaspoon sourced from many a gift shop. You might find yourself going in with a strong sense of will that you won't have a cake today but be warned you will and you will enjoy it. There is always a great selection of sweet savoury options and normally a soup too so if you happen to be at a loose end at lunch it's a great shout. I could list countless ways which show the owners give a sh*t, not just about their own business but the local community and the environment. You'll just have to visit to see what I mean.

The staff are exceptional today I was greeted by a Swedish and Canadian couple who served me coffee, accompanied by world cultural music in Farsi, playing in the background and intelligent conversation. Independent coffee boutiques need to stand out from the crowd their staff are there greatest asset I would love to see them put on an event for International World Jazz Day 30th April 2022 with a one man/woman saxophonist inviting people into the coffee shop! Go ahead celebrate world coffee and music and love Peace Love and Jazz!

I love the Little Coffee Shop. The quality of the cakes and friendly service makes it a jewel in our community. They have adapted to a delivery only service since lockdown. Their latest innovation is a shopbox where you can collect your order. Ordering via their website or by text is so easy.
