Our lovely shop in red! We have had a red and white striped awning for so many years now, I’m not sure we would have anything else! And we think it helps us standout! ❤️ ….though some people still can’t find us 😅

Just like her mum….standing on a step behind the counter, learning the ropes! I hope some of you were lucky to be served by this little lady today…others may just receive a parcel with a very wonky label on it 😂🤦🏻♀️❤️

At one point today all three of us were together again in the shop! It’s not happened for a while, and probably won’t again for another little while. But it was good while it lasted ❤️

There’s something comforting about a fresh cup of coffee and a piece of good shortbread.
Just a small pause in the day.
Our Coffee Shortbread was created for exactly those moments – the ones where you put the kettle on (or brew your favourite coffee), sit down for five minutes, and simply slow down for a while.
It's made using our own Formula Rossa coffee, giving it a gentle coffee flavour that pairs beautifully with your favourite brew.
Have you tried it yet?

With the sunshine sticking around, many of us are making the most of eating outdoors.
A few years ago, while visiting the beautiful Greek island of Alonissos, we picked up a tip that we've never forgotten.
When we sat down for lunch on the beach, we noticed the restaurant burning used coffee grounds. It wasn't for the smell (although it was rather pleasant!) – it was to help keep the wasps and mosquitoes away.
It turns out that many insects have a very strong sense of smell, and the aroma from smouldering coffee grounds is something they'd rather avoid.
If you'd like to give it a try at home, make sure your used coffee grounds are completely dry, pop them into a heatproof dish, and light them so they gently smoulder, rather like incense.
A simple way to reuse something that would otherwise go in the bin – and it might just make those summer lunches a little more peaceful.
Have you ever tried this, or do you have any other old-fashioned tips for keeping insects at bay? We'd love to hear them.

Formula Rossa has become a real favourite in the shop — rich, dependable, and beautifully easy to drink. It is the blend that we serve in the shop....
It’s also the coffee used in our new shortbread collaboration, which makes it feel even more special to us.
A familiar cup for many of our regulars.
Are you a Formula Rossa fan?

We’ve added Sir Winston’s Gin & Tonic and Espresso Martini sweets to the shelves — handcrafted in Yorkshire and full of playful flavour!
All the flavours of your favourite tipple....but alcohol free. The perfect cheeky indulgence.
The sort of sweet you didn’t know you needed until now.
Which one would you go for?

If you still need your caffeine in the heatwave, how about making coffee ice cubes to add to your iced coffee?
Simply pour brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze!
Then add the coffee cubes to your chilled coffee to keep it cold without diluting the flavour, or drop a few into cold milk for an easy iced latte.
A simple way to stay cool and keep the coffee flowing.
Has anyone tried this trick?
