Well… we did it

After years of pouring everything we have into Midgar, we’ve been named Café Winner 2026.

When Georja and I first picked up the keys, we had no idea where this journey would take us. We’ve made plenty of mistakes, learned lessons the hard way, worked more hours than we’d ever admit, and had moments where we questioned everything. But we’ve never stopped caring about what Midgar could be.

To our team, thank you. You are the heart of this business. The coffees you make, the conversations you have, the standards you hold and the care you show our guests every day are the reason people keep coming back.

To our guests, thank you for giving an independent coffee shop a chance. Some of you have been with us since day one. Some discovered us last week. Every visit, every recommendation, every review and every vote has helped us get to this moment.

This award has our name on it, but it belongs to everyone who has been part of the journey.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Stuart & Georja

☀️ New Sunday Hours ☀️

Just a quick reminder that we’ve slightly adjusted our Sunday opening hours.

From now on, we’ll be open:

🕤 9:30am – 3:00pm

That’s 30 minutes earlier for your morning coffee and breakfast, and we’ll be closing an hour earlier in the afternoon.

Whether you’re heading out for a walk, meeting friends, or easing into a slower Sunday, we’d love to see you

British summer is going well… ☀️🌧️☀️🌧️

One minute we’re putting the courtyard chairs out, the next we’re wondering if we should be handing out snorkels.

At least the coffee’s consistent, even if the weather isn’t

Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

Coffee, conversation and a place for everyone.

We’re proud to be a welcoming space for all and grateful for the wonderfully diverse community that chooses to spend time with us.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at Midgar

A couple of Midgar updates ☕

From Sunday 14th June, we’ll be making a small change to our Sunday opening hours and will be open from 9:30am–3:00pm.

That means opening 30 minutes earlier and closing an hour earlier, giving a little more opportunity for those early morning coffees while better reflecting how our Sundays tend to flow.

We’re also making a change to our loyalty scheme. From Monday 8th June, free drinks will move from 7 points to 10 points.

If you’ve got a free drink waiting, or you’re close to one, now’s a good time to make the most of it before the change comes into effect.

The loyalty scheme has grown far beyond what I ever expected when we first introduced it. Moving to 10 points helps us continue rewarding our regular guests while keeping the scheme sustainable for the long term.

Thank you, as always, for supporting Midgar. Every visit, coffee, lunch and recommendation means a huge amount to us.

See you soon
Stuart & the team

BANK HOLIDAY HOURS

Sunday 24th May
9:30am – 3pm

Monday 25th May

Looks like this weekend is going to be a hot one.

Luckily Midgar has air con, iced coffees, coolers, matcha and plenty of cold drinks waiting ❄️

Probably the best weekend yet to hide inside a coffee shop

PS: have you voted for us yet😜

Something new is landing on the guest grinder soon.

We’ve partnered with Lost Sheep Coffee to bring in a fresh Colombian lot from El Tambo, and honestly… this one’s tasting pretty special.

Expect a cup that’s bright, juicy and ridiculously clean, with the kind of sweetness that keeps you going back for another sip.

We’ll be serving it as our guest espresso and retail beans very soon at Midgar Coffee.

Independent coffee, done properly. More details soon.

Not going to lie… seeing Midgar at the top of today was a bit mad.

Somehow we are up against some seriously good cafés across Suffolk & Cambs and holding our own.

This weekend especially, people really rallied behind us and the amount of votes, shares, messages and support has honestly blown me away.

The last few years we’ve come painfully close and finished second, so this year we’d absolutely love to finally bring it home because the team genuinely deserve the recognition for how hard they work day in day out.

I know I keep banging on about votes at the moment, but as an independent business this stuff means a lot. Every single vote really does help us more than people probably realise.

Voting stays open until 26th May and it’s still really close, so if you haven’t voted yet we’d massively appreciate it.

Just don’t forget to verify the vote in your emails after or it doesn’t count 👀

Honestly though, thank you. The support lately has been pretty special.

We honestly hate asking… but we’d love your support ❤️

Midgar is currently in the Muddy Stilettos Best Café finals and we’re up against some brilliant cafés across the region. We’re currently sitting at 16% and every vote really does make a difference.

For a small independent coffee house like ours, recognition like this means a huge amount to the whole team.

If Midgar has ever been part of your morning routine, lunch break, weekend catch up or coffee stop, we’d be incredibly grateful for your vote ☕️

The Muddy Stilettos Awards 2026 | Free UK Lifestyle Awards celebrate the best local lifestyle businesses in Suffolk & Cambs, across the UK - and they're totally FREE to enter.

Before the music’s on.
Before the grinders start properly.
Before the first rush of the day.

There’s always this little calm moment in the mornings at Midgar.

Just the sound of espresso pouring and the coffee machine warming up.

Still one of my favourite parts of the day.

What’s yours?
