We are 5 years old today!
What this time has taught me is that I don’t take enough photos to truly appreciate the journey so far. So my apologies for the random selection of images.
We have been through the ups and downs associated with any business in our time, I could go on about how the government it’s absolutely blowing it for UK hospitality… but I won’t. We try and keep a positive attitude here, weathering any storms and trusting/ enjoying the process despite the challenges.
We have been through various iterations, tried, failed and succeeded at new things. Bought, traded from and sold a coffee trailer, been through about 5 different broken tow cars, ran cocktail nights, fed many dogs treats, fed many people coffee, opened up more seating, endless amateur DIY, did fun collabs, popups. And much more. The thing I love the most is the community this place has built, customers have become friends, a first date here became an engagement. I have selfishly had all my emotional fulfilment topped up every day by serving you lot. More money would be nice, but I couldn’t ask for a better little coffee shop to run. Thanks massively to the team past and present, Patch, Raph & Noah currently making my cafe ownership experience the best it has ever been to be honest. Finally thanks to all of you for continuing to support and sink those sweet coffees on a daily basis. Much love, Jam x
P.S as you can tell by this scrappy writing, chat gpt did not help in writing this 🤪
